Boys Will Be Girls?

While we're considering our own experiences of "being a girl or boy," let's take a look at the way our culture reinforces, challenges, guides, and opposes various gender expectations.  Two short readings (Do 'em!) and LOTS of talk/writing this week.  Wednesday is a 1/2 day because IT'S THE END OF THE QUARTER!! OMG!  There's only one quarter to go!  So, keep your eyes on the prize (summer) and your nose to the grindstone.
