Then it was time to talk about gender. We listened to some great pieces about colors, weddings and a radio round table called "Girls Vs Boys."
Here's Cally's Piece about Colors:
And here's the radio round table:
We talked about a lot of different things in the studio. We took a lot of time to discuss stereotyping, specifically with gender, and how it affects people. We tried to discover if the stereotypes we're constantly hearing about (for example, pink is only for girls) is seen in real life, or if it usually seen in the movies. We also did a really interesting exercise where we named a bunch of movies we'd seen within the year. We then thought about each one, and decided if the relationships in the movie were ever homosexual. We found that every movie we initially named only featured heterosexual couples. It was an interesting way to consider the influence the media has on how we approach discussions on gender and sexuality.
