What isn't marked?

So marking. Marked vs unmarked. Its an odd way of looking at a topic that's been hit many times in this class, which is women and their societal roles and "limitations." That everything a woman is to do is judged and goes down under and against her image. That society has placed barriers on how it is that a doll (COME SEE GUYS AND DOLLS) is to act in public. However this same society places its own views on the actions of guys as well. It is not true that we both live in different worlds, it is the same cruel yet beautiful world that judges both sexes. It may seem like "our colors are duller" but it is true for both sexes. In fact I don't believe that there are things that are marked and unmarked. I think everything and every action is marked and all together contributes to our image in society and amounts to who we are. Much like how a girl could be judged on what she wears, the same goes for a guy. She may dress "too scandalously" but he may dress "to feminine" at the exact same time. There isn't much that goes for one without going for the other, and no matter how dull our colors may seem they will always appear that way until you choose to see them with light and realize that every action inevitably will be marked. (OH AND COME SEE GUYS AND DOLLS)

  1. Haha, I mentioned Guys and Dolls in my blog too (I even worked it into my argument). I agree with your position that there is no such thing as being marked or unmarked. I took the position in my writing that everyone is marked, but I like how you said it better. I love your blog!
