Our continuing discussion on labels...

So we're all still discussing the effects that labels have on women, but some of the male students brought up a good counterpoint: when we talk about degrading labels, that should include the degrading labels that we can give to men, as well. Of course, this is a feminism class and the primary focus will be on women's issues, but that doesn't mean that men's perspectives shouldn't be discussed and considered--particularly as we continue to make advancement in this 21st century.

Also, as students who will soon be entering the workforce after graduation, we will encounter interpersonal and professional relationships on a daily basis (if we are not already doing so, as some of us have already entered the workplace while going to school); this course will help in improving male-female relationships in and out of the workplace. If we learn now how to treat each other with respect and understanding and equality, then we will not hurl hurtful, disrespectful labels at each other and always treat each other as equal partners in the workplace.
