I enjoyed this weeks readings and no the reason is not because I AM A WOMAN.I enjoyed this weeks reading for two reasons. One being that it opened up my eyes to a whole knew way of thinking and not just for the technology world, but also in every day life. The second reason being is that I enjoyed reading the material form Sally Pryor, because it kept me interested. I liked the first reading from Pacey, because I was never aware of the fact that there is a bias/ a division/ or rather a lack of acknowledgment in the technology world when it came to women. I always believed that scientist and true scholars are the most advanced thinkers so there would be no questioning a woman's ability or no denying her of the same respect and glory that a man is entitled to. Also before reading Pacey I never really took into consideration the differences in the way men and women think. I mean there is obvious differences when it comes to every day life, but when it comes to science one would think that there should be no difference in a world that is so filled with facts rather than opinion. It was actually in our discussion in class that I realized how true this idea of thinking different is and how much society has condition us to believe that males are dominant; there were things right in front of my face that I never even realized. Like the whole idea of fertilization. When I was in high school and I was taught by both a female Biology and a female Health teacher so my whole idea on fertilization was one that involved just as much female involvement, if not more, as the male. I was taught that a woman needs to be ovulating, her needs to be released and brought to the fallopian tube, the sperm as to survive the acidity of her uterus and the egg picks the sperm. Then when I came to college and had a male Biology professor he made it seemed male centered. The male ejaculates his sperm into the woman, the sperm then go on a journey up the uterus and into the fallopian tube where it finds the egg and fertilizes it. I mean the sperm has no purpose if the woman isn't even ovulating.
I also enjoyed Pryor's work; I found the way that she wrote very effective. It was as though she wrote in this feminist way of an un-unified self. It was effective, because her reading forced me to not only pay attention, but to also go back and read other parts over again; therefore making the reader actually read and take notice to what she was trying to convey. I just found this whole very...enlighten
