THE best Socratic discussions ever in my sosh! classes were the posers we explored on social gender differences. To set the record right up front, we ARE NOT making fun of nor degrading one gender over another...simply neat social differences we've observed.
1) Females usually go to the bathroom with someone else!...guys do not ask another guy to go
to the br with them!...why?...your Socratic part of our discussion is to come up with the
theories on your own, please.
2) Guys never say that another guy is 'sweet'....females often describe a guy as being 'sweet' in
nature...why?
3) Girls and women use the expression "Ah...." often when they experience a neat
happening or feeling...a daughter shares a widdle hug with a mom or dad...."Ahhhhh....".
A sunset is totally magnificent at the beach....."Ahhhhh....."
4) Girls and women share a moment hug often and do not think of anything more...
if two guys were to share a moment hug, it probably would never happen to begin with or
would be hesitant.
5) Nostalgia...momentos...females internalized inside, connect a "spacial" moment or something
saved that triggers inside of them a warm memory...right?
6) The female gender doesn't forget!...it seems that this gender, more than the guys, does not disconnect as easily with hurtful feelings or experiences....?
7) Guys think more in terms of physicalities...females react more to senses, holding a hand...a soft brush of one's hand across a face...a cuddle...a special whispered word...thoughts.
8) The male gender can name all of the national football teams and their nicknames...the female
gender can recall all of her close friends back in college or senor year in high school.
9) A female just knows when another female is gettin' too close to her 'spacial' person!!...a guy relishes that attention and usually doesn't see what is going on.....
10) A female knows how to reassure when that "spacial" person needs reassurance, like standing closer, brushing aside the other person's errant shock of hair or slipping her fingers in between the other's. Hey, observe how two persons hold hand...interlocking fingers seeems to connect with the senses...try it!...oh yeah.
And what happened with this terrific method of teaching Sociology after a number of years? A principal pulled one of his many dirty tricks, to get even for my candidly speaking out in public, and sent an e-mail, not in person, for us, sosh! classes, not to use that method again! It feels sooo good to be totally in control as an author, now.
