Please ONLY use this reference and NO OUTSIDE SOURCES!!!!!!
1. Using Gilligan’s The Birth of Pleasure (this week’s reading—lecture helps too!), describe how girls and boys come to deny their “true selves.”Where can you see this happening? (Where did Gilligan see it happening?) At what age does it happen?
2. WHY do girls and boys come to deny their “true selves?” What does patriarchy have to do with this phenomenon?Again, use Gilligan as support for your discussion.
3. Now use personal experience.Do you think this happened in your life? Do you see evidence of this dynamic in other people's love relationships? In love relationships as portrayed on TV and in the movies? Have you seen this happen with any children you know?
4. How do you think this socialization into a patriarchal social structure affects heterosexual love relationships?
