Think about the ideas behind intersectionality, then ask yourself:

How do your other identities complicate your gender performance? In other words, how does being an Asian/Black/Hispanic woman, a disabled man, a female athlete, a lesbian woman, a Christian woman, etc., shape the way in which you perform masculinity or femininity in your life? [Hint: In your textbook, Wade and Ferrerr discuss the “gentle black man” strategy –whistling classic music while walking down the street at night–that black men often rely on in order to resist the cultural stereotype about black men.]

For the two articles we read this week(link below)–“Can agentic black women get ahead” and “Intersecting the academic gender gap,” do any of the findings resonate with your experience? Deviates? How so?
