Gilmore Girls

Today I was watching an episode of the Gilmore Girls. Most avid show followers all know the delema of Rory dating Dean, but then leaving him for Jess. There is an ongoing tension between the boys for most of season 3 with both their hatreds for each other building up. Finally at a party one night Rory comes down from an upstairs room crying and runs into Dean. He quickly asks what is wrong and when he sees Jess following after he gets heated trying to figure out what Jess did to her. Dean shoves Jess starting a huge fight destroying the inside and outside yard of the house in a matter of seconds. This is what I believe to be a very good example of masculinity. Most boys have rivalries between them, and this rivalry is always building up. This is the common scenario of boys like girl, boys fight over girl. However, it also showed a bit of femininity as we see Deans caring side come out when he tries comforting Rory to see whats wrong and then defending her. Despite whether she really needed it or not.

Since this is my first blog I’m not really sure how to begin so here it goes. For my first post I am going to write about an episode of the television show Sister Sister. The episode I was watching is the 79^th episode called Show Me the Money. The episode is about how Tia found out one of her co-workers, a male co-worker, who started at the same time as her is being paid more than she is. When she confronts her boss about this matter he has no logical explanation of why the co-worker is being paid more. He tells her to drop it or she will no longer have a job. Tia backs down, but when her sister Tamera hears about it she decides to fight the battle for her. She poses as Tia and demands a matched salary as well as equality in their work place. The boss fires her on the spot. To save Tia’s job Tamera and all their friends invade the work space demanding for Tia’s return because service is not up to par without her. Finally, when the other costumers as well start to complain he gives in and returns her job. He also reluctantly agrees to match their salaries. I think this episode pertains to gender in regards to the discrimination of men and women in the work place. It had all the aspects of how it was wrong and that people have to take a stand. This episode is the first of many blogs to be posted on gender in television shows, movies, and even commercials
