Do you think marriage is still needed in today's society? Why/why not?

I do feel marriage is still needed today. It gives people a sense of stability. It helps people survive and raise a family financially as well as giving the man and woman some sort of balance in give and take. Not to say the traditional ways of what a mans job and womans job is, in reference to contributing to the families needs has not changed however, the old fashioned basics I feel still stand today. Women with Children and men as the breadwiner, for the most part not always 100 percent like this always in todays society.

Do you see marriage in your future? Why/why not?

I do see marriage in my future...well that's part of the plan anyway. I always imagined one day getting married and starting a family. Having kids the whole 'fairytale life' that's told to little girls as they grow up. Obviously times have changed and divorce and step-children and all diff. types of happy families exist but I still want the picture perfect one although I am willing to accept it in another form as long as happiness is the overall end.

Can women achieve balance of being perceived as both powerful and feminine in today's society, or are those images mutually exclusive?

I believe women can be perceived as both powerful and feminine in todays society although it isn't very easy. I feel certain women are already doing so in our society. Two examples that come to mind are Michelle Obama, Beyonce, and Oprah all very powerful successful women who I feel are percieved by the public as very feminine women as well.

Who did we choose and why?

We chose Amy tan because she is slightly known and modern.

WMC 2010 Spring Break/ free choice

I thought I wasn't going away for spring break but then something came up . Winter Music conference 2010 in Miami. It was my first WMC and it was amazing. Hundreds of D.J. 's from all over the world go and it's non-stop parties. Pool parties during the day, Dj battles, Clubs at night as well as Hosted parties at just about every hotel in south beach and Miami Beah. It was an amazing 4 day weekend and the weather was nice too ;) which was the ultimate PLUS +* hope everyone else enjoyed gtheir spring breaks as much as me.. see you thrusday

◦Why do you think it's more socially acceptable for women to be homosexual than it is for men?

I feel this concept is more socially accepted because men in society are viewed to be the 'masculine, strong, breadwiner, macho' type and woman to be the 'feminine, pretty, child-raising, delicate' type. Therefore, men having any 'womanly' role is socially frowned upon. Homosexual men usually have some feminine qualities, hence them being attracted to the opposite (same) sex; the man. Heterosexual men like women. I feel they like women so much they find the idea of two women together sexy and erotic. I think the 'lipstick lesbians' are the most socially accepted homosexual couple. It has been considered "hot" for two feminine woman to be together in a sexual relationship and women seem to not find it as 'inappropriate' as if two men are together. Its like the opposite of a man being socially accepted to sleep around and get applauded for his status and a woman called a whore. Unfair, yes. The same in a way applies for the woman to be 'applauded' or accepted when engagng in a sexual act with another woman but two men is more socially frowned upon.
