Modern Men vs. Traditional Men




Most modern men don't care if their wife works or decide to stay home and take care of the kids. Most modern men want their wives or girlfriends to be able to take care of themselves financially and in many other ways. Most modern men are there own person and don't need their wife or girlfriend to do everything for them, because they realize they are more than capable of doing it themselves. Most modern men are independent and want the same for their wives. Most traditional men want their wives at home taking care of kids, cooking, cleaning the house, and doing the laundry. Some traditional men call their wives constantly, not wanting anything just checking up on them. Their wives have no privacy, no freedom, basically no life. They both show respect for women but in different ways. I am a modern female, I want a modern man, well that's what my dad thinks will be best for me. He says he feels sorry for the man I marry if he is traditional. My dad is a very traditional man. For example he has to meet everyone I date and hang out with. I am against a man being over me, we should be equal in the relationship, as far as taking care of the kids, the house, and the finances. If a man can't handle it then he should look for someone else.

School Spirit


At the last home game I decide to go all out with the face painting and T shirt, long blue socks, etc. My RA in my dorm told me that which ever hall had the most people show up and show the most school spirit would win a pizza party with the basketball team. So when I heard this it just got me more pumped up. So almost everyone on my hall got faced painted for the game, but everyone said I was the best and should win. So we all got on the chariot to go to the game. When we get there it wasn't a big turn out so I wasn't worried I knew I was winning, but as the minutes roled by more people started coming through the door, but still I had tons of confidence. When I looked around I still had the overall best outfit on. As the game went on, right before half time the man in charged approached me saying you have the most school spirit and they showed me on the big screen, I was so excited. So when half time came they always call some one down to play a game, this time whoever had the most school spirit. I thought for sure it was going to be me, but I was so wrong. So I look down at the court and he got three girls that were half dress, just in their bras with UNCG across their chest to come down and play the game I was so upset,but I got over it. It just prove how sexiest people really are and that they like less clothing then, great quality.

"The Job"

I will start off by saying I will not name the place where I am employed. I have been working at my previous job for two years in April. Why have I been there that long, I don't know probably for the money, which isn't that great? I have no idea how I got hired, because I am black, maybe I got hired because I am a female and very classy. We have been talking about the ism's in class and my experience working there I have noticed two, sexism and racism. When I first started everything was going well, they treated me with respect, but as soon as they really got to know me, that's when the racism and sexism started. They began to pick at the way I talked and use the saying " you people", ummm I wonder what they meant? I gave an application to a young African American male who came into the store one day and was that a mistake. My manager approached me afterwards saying people who come into the store looking like that shouldn't get an application. He was talking about "Black" people. Like I said earlier I have been working there for two years in April and since I have been there two black females have quit and none has been hired and when I say none I mean NO African American male or female. I also have noticed if you have a pretty face and a nice body you are working there the next day, isn't that something. My mom hates that I had to go through something so horrible, but I never thought racism and sexism was so bad until I experienced it myself. I hope no one else have to go through anything similar to what happened to me. What I just blogged about isn't half of it...
