Men and Woman in the Classroom

Blog #3

This article was prettty interesting. I like the way the experiment was performed. I definately agree witht the findings. For the most part I have always been shy to speak outload. I always seemed to feel misplaced, like if I am taking all the attention. I consider myself a shy person, and I related myself to the shy women in the story. I can also relate myself to being the "oppresor" in certain environments. In high school I recall situations where I became an oppresor because we had school work to get done and the rest of the members where distracted, I seemed to pushed myself to talk because I wanted the work to get done. I would usually iniciate the conversation. I remember when I had an "out spoken" male in my group. I was waitting for him to say his ideas about the project, but he wasn't saying much. I iniciated the conversation by telling my group my ideas and then he added his ideas to mine, it was weird! I really enjoyed reading this selection, it made me feel as if I am not alone =)
