My name is Monica Woods and I am from Arlington, Texas. I am a sophmore and plan on majoring in speech pathology. I love my family and am very close to them. I have two little brothers that are thirteen and sixteen years old. I am trying to convince the sixteen-year-old to go to OU! I also have three dogs named Roberta, Tugger, and Toby. I miss them so much when I am away at school! I decided to take Women's Studies because I thought it would be very interesting. I have always wanted to take this class, but haven't had time because my semesters have been filled with gen-ed requirements. My roommate took this class last semester and strongly recommended that I take it. She said she learned so much and was always telling me interesting facts.
Five questions I would like to answer for myself are:
1) Why is there so much pressure for women to be thin while there is practically no pressure on men?
2) When did feminism start? How did it come about?
3) Why are women stereotyped as "sluts" for sleeping around, but men are rewarded and called a "stud"?
4) Why are women judged more on their appearances than intellect?
5) Why do men recieve larger paychecks than women in the work force?
