Introduction to Anthropology

*Daniel is sitting at his desk, looking pretty relaxed, skimming over some long and complicated paper as the students file in*

"I'm having to apologize again for my absence," he grins sheepishly. Damn power cable "However, I hope that any more trips I have to make in the future will at least let me give you some warning, and hopefully line up a substitute."

"Right. Today I'd like to follow up on some of the harsh consequences on extreme gender ideology. Now, I understand that these are not pleasant topics, and if you feel that you can't deal with them, then by all means, you are excused from class today.

The first thing is Female Genital Mutliation.

I also touched upon China's One Child Policy, so we'll look at that in more detail.

But, the Western World, also discriminates against girls still... admittedly, not to the extent of the two examples I've just given you. In careers, there is a great divide in tech-related ones between male and female workers. However, there are programs in place to try and reduce that divide, such as the Connecticut Girls and Technology Network

Now, for homework, I'd like you to look for and write about an example of gender discrimination and/or the consequences of extreme gender ideology. For those of you not from this time, I'm perfectly happy to accept studies from your own home.
