“Men don't want someone who is uptight. They just want to be with someone who can stand their own ground and someone who can make it on their own. They just don't want someone to tell them what to do, but they want someone who is equally independent.”
I agree with this statement and I believe it shows how through time women have changed their role and do not succumb to men. Times have changed and now women can make their own decisions. I like reading statements like those because it illustrates the social evolution our society has gone through and the idea that women can stand up to men and not be mocked or laughed at.
“There are men, however, who do like to be controlled and pushed around because they cannot control themselves. This is not a good relationship. First, you do not control your mate, but you do need to support them.”
This is a good statement describing how a relationship has to consist of both partners being there for each other. It should be a mutual thing where they are both there in times of hardship. It should not be totally up to the women to cater to the man nor the other way around.

Aaron: " But not all others are of equal significance in our lives, and therefore not all others are of equal impact on the development of the self. Any person is available to become part of one's "generalized other," but certain individuals, by virtue of the sheer volume of the time spent in interaction with someone, or by virtue of the nature of particular interactions, become more significant in the shaping of people's values. These "significant others" become prominent in the formation of one's self-image and one's ideals and goals."
Diana :I believe this is true. Especially for a new born child who does not have a complete perception of who himself is. They need their parents and other families interactions. As one grows older this interaction with people who come into their everyday life is going to be important, but it is going to be oneself who is going to be the main force in development. One’s self image is going to be a reflection of others feedback but it is not going to totally shape the person. It is also how people take the interaction and perceive it that is going to be a main force.
Aaron: " The patriarchal gender schema currently in use in mainstream North American society reserves highly valued attributes for males and actively supports the high evaluation of any characteristics which might inadvertently become associated with maleness. The idealogy which the schema grows out of postulates that the cultural superiority of male is a natural outgrowth of the innate predisposition of males toward aggression and dominance, which is assumed to flow inevitably from evolutionary and biological sources. Female are likewise postulated to find their source in innate predispositions acquired in the evolution of the species. Feminine characteristics are thought to be instrinsic to the female facility for childbirth and breastfeeding.
Diana: I disagree with these statements because it is not the job of women to solely stay home and child bear anymore. Now days there are women taking on the raising of children on her own which is something more time consuming then any other job a male is going to engage in. It is a job in which not everyone can do. The role of a woman shouldn’t revolve around maternity because of the fact that they can do just as much as men can. Men’s superiority should not be innate, not all men can hold such a position. But there are women who are capable of being superior.
