Women and Gender Studies, 6/13/07
"People, people, students, kids, and furry wild things that are also students!" Maddie clapped her hands. "Settle down, settle in, lets get this boat on the tarmac, here!"
Yes, she did this whether or not the students were making any noise. Or if they were even there. She possibly did this in her spare time at home.
"Okay, now." She resettled her glasses on her nose. "We're going to be working on something very important, today. Something that will really help your understanding of who you are as a person and how gender roles affect your day to day lives. Isn't that right, Syvvie?"
"I think you just want to play dress up. . . ."
"Oh, hush, you." Maddie grinned. "Right. So. These last few weeks, you've talked about how your feel about your gender, about what society expects of each of the genders, and last week, about how you might be different if you were a different gender. Well! This week, we're going to find out!"
"Sort of."
"Yes, sort of, we're not going to turn you all into boys and girls from being girls and boys, we can't do that. But! We do want you to try out some of the gender roles of the opposite sex, right? We have clothes here, and everything! So! Come on, then! Get dressed up! There's plenty of room to change, and I promise, all the clothing is freshly cleaned." She gestured to some rows of changing screens and racks of clothing. A lot of it seemed to be from the fifties and sixties . . . there were some seventies leisure suits in there, even, and yes, some modern clothing as well. "Girls, try out being a boy. Boys? Let's see how it is to be a girl. Undergarment changes are entirely optional, but if you want the full experience . . . stuff 'em."
"And have fun."
"That's right, that's right, how could I forget, that's a rule! Have fun with this, boys and girls and animals. We have wigs and hats, even! Who doesn't like wigs, I mean, really? Oh! Oh! And before I forget! We have an assignment for you, this week! I know, I know, homework, it stinks, it really does, but this is fun homework! I want you all to pick a day this week and spend that day pretending to be the opposite gender. Try to be social while you're at it, see how people react. It's a learning experience. Get to see how all those transvestitutes do it, and all the things they have to put up with. Okay! Chop chop! Let's go!"
[ooc: OCDcoming is up. Clothing available on the racks is completely moddable.]

She glanced over at Peter. "Never pegged you as a fan of shiny clothing," she remarked.

She held up her own fashion discovery. "And I, am a village person in the making, maybe?"
Re: Dress up time!
Hmmm...
Maybe if he also added the little sheer pink skirt and with the matching leggings.

And then he added a turquoise dress with lace.
Yeah, he felt less masculine already.

Syvvie winked. "That's fine, darling. It's what summers are for."
