Journal #2

I have a class called Health and Fitness Managements where as a project the whole class had to elect a project manager and then from there the Project Manager would hire the rest of the class to fill positions available in the employment. In reading all the resumes to try to decide who I thought would be the best Project manager I came down to about three names but two of the three were women. Without even realizing at the time I had decided that a man would be best in such a position cause I felt that the class would not take a woman seriously if she was leading the class. I became aware of the little norms that had been engraved in society even still about women being the less dominant person to be in power. Reading the poem that referenced Pocahontas when she was bitterly talking about how she was really the one who was behind all her husbands success and how only because he was the man he culturally was viewed to the the one in power and to be viewed as the one with all the success. I am even a women and I fell into thinking of women as inferior. How ridiculous does that sound in retrospect?
