Exercise
Participants will discover how has gender been viewed throughout history, will gain life skills in understanding and applying basic principles of logic and reasoning and will learn how they identify
similarities and differences
By interpreting historical, sexist views on gender and analyzing them in relation to modern society, participants will gain an awareness of how these precedents have influenced attitudes that still persist today.
Print Quotes sheet and cut apart on dotted lines, into strips (before cutting, make copies as needed, so you have at least one quote/strip per participant).
1. Hand out quote strips, at least one per participant (it’s OK if more than one participant has the same quote).
2. Have participants take turns reading the respective quote aloud to the group. Ask, In your own words, what do you think this person is saying? Do you agree with it? Do you think people still feel this way today (and can you think of any examples of modern equivalents/sayings)?
3. Closure: Ask the group, Were you surprised by some of the quotes? How have things changed
since these were written/said (do you feel society has changed)?
