Hot Spots: Log1B



I found my first hot spot on page 151; August quotes, “Although males have already won court cases of sexual harassment against female bosses, sexual harassment is still widely defined as “harassment of women by men.” As much men are more commonly known with sexual harassment, I personally wouldn’t say that sexual harassment is defined as “harassment of women by men.” My second hot spot was also found on page 131. “Crime knows no gender.” I completely agree with this statement quotes by a reporter in this reading. I have chose this hot spot because as much as there is a stereotype towards males, every day in society there is crime within both genders.


My third hot spot was found on page 142. “Alfre Woodard, who was an Oscar nominee for best supporting actress, says she identifies herself as an actor because “actresses worry about eye-lashes and cellulite and women who are actors worry about the characters we are playing.” Most actress would call themselves an actress displaying their role in feminism, Alfre being an individual women marks herself as an actor, supporting her role as unmarked. My fourth hot spot was found on page 143. “Women can’t even fill out a form without telling stories about themselves.” Tannen explains how even their title such as “Mrs., or Miss” gives the unmarked feature to them. That quote relates to my third quote by defending her opinion how now to women are the same. I agree with both quotes in this writing.
