  1. Quiz / Freewrite • What is the “femininity game” and do you agree with Nelson that women have to play this game in our culture? Use an example other than one provided in the text to support your position.

  2. Deductive Arguments and Logical Syllogisms • All teachers are gerbils • Jim is a teacher • Therefore Jim is a gerbil • This is a valid argument!! Why= conclusion follow necessarily from premises (even they are untrue) • Sound: is a valid argument with true premises.

  3. Inductive Argument and Syllogisms • Conclusion not necessary but probable or likely (watch for appropriate qualification) • Premises evaluated for truth value—would most people agree—do you agree? • Tip: look for and identify unstated premises

  4. Nelson • Femininity requires passivity and weakness • Successful female athletes must be feminine to win male approval • Men do not have to play this game • Therefore, the fem game is unfair to women • This argument also applies to women at work, in politics, etc. • Therefore, the femininity game is bad for our culture / society/all women (many?)

  5. Slim / Repetitive Paragraphs • Focus on one specific iteration • Focus on specific and unique details of this iteration / interpret every detail • Use different sources / readings • Use clincher to differentiate the how and why of your example— • Consider an evaluative or analogical element to your clincher

  6. Monster Paragraphs • Are you really talking about two ideas/values or iterations that each need a separate paragraph? • Do you need (and interpret) every detail you mention • Should you limit references to readings to one idea / concept • Do you have an embedded comparison or iteration that you could and should break out?

  7. Quick Check On Chapter • Gender Code • “natural differences” • Postfeminism • Sex vs. gender • Queer theory—gender bending
