Summary Of To All The Girls I Ve Rejected

Many professors and teachers within schools were concerned about whether or not the females in their classes were able to withstand male dominated classrooms and school districts (Gender Gap). In 1992, there was a study shown that female students didn’t receive the same amount of attention or help within classes (Where the Girls Are). Females were experiencing a sexism within the schools, especially grad school where the classes were mostly men in the 1990s. Also many female students were having difficulty with mathematics, sciences, technology, and engineering (STEM) based classes (Gender Gap). The difficulty in school wasn’t only the fact that they were struggling, but the intimidation was a huge factor since those particular classes for degrees were becoming welcoming to women. Education was suddenly changed for the better after organizations were developed and articles were written to help the education of females (Where the Girls Are). These organizations and articles gave the women the attention they needed to be able to turn their education roles around so that they would be

As a woman myself, it is hard to imagine a time when I would not have been allowed to attend college, let alone be writing this paper. As children most of us heard stories from our grandparent’s about what life was like they were young. I can remember laughing at the thought of “walking up hill both ways” to get to school. With the liberties American Women have today, it is easy to take for granted everything the women before us fought so hard for. It is easy to forget the treatment they suffered in their struggle to bring us to today. In this paper we will examine the lives, struggles, and small victories of women that have led us to

This article started off to be about a girl named Madalyn, who received a thin envelope in the mail saying she was wait listed to one of the five colleges she applied to. The author, Jennifer Delahunty Britz tied Madalyn’s college situation with everyone, especially females applying or already have applied. When being a female most of the time a smart, hardworking, and brilliant student is not enough for colleges. Male applications are more valued because men are rarer. I absolutely loved this article, it was well written and I just thought it was great. I could relate to this article and I think that was really what grasped my attention. I like how Jennifer Delahunty Britz wrote facts about male and female applicants. I especially liked the

With no one supporting him, he found it useless to pursue in his studies and spent most of time rebelling. Based on my father’s educational experiences, somehow I found it relatable to the boys in Christina Sommers article “ The war against boys”. Just like in my father story, they could’ve been facing the same scenario, which led them to plummet in their grades. According to Sommer’s, article some feminists believe that girls are still at a disadvantage, when compared to boys. They argue that boys still uphold the position at the top. In reality, most of the girls have already surpassed that point and are exceling quickly. If they continue this, most girls have a higher probability in outpacing boys in academics; however there is still a

To all the Girls I’ve rejected by Jennifer Delahunty Brit is a short story about college applications. The story begins with her daughter receiving a letter letting her know that she has been put on a waiting list. She had done a good job going through high school taking tough courses and doing well on her tests. While she had done good things, she was not overly exceptional. Over time college applications have become more selective. College selection is a very long process taking several weeks and many 12 hour days. Not all applications are black and white. Some get good grades and are not involved in their community while others are very involved, but do not have the best grades. Male applications are more likely to be admitted because

Hooking Up, Sex, Dating, and Relationships on Campus drew my attention to the elaborate structure underlying hookups. This is a part of college that I have come to take for granted, something that fazed me upon first encountering it, but has been normalized in my way of thinking. Though I was aware that there were inequalities underlying the script, I was not aware of its historical progression, how complex it is, and its lasting impact. Reading about the sex differences in college was not something I have thought about before specifically, even though it is a large portion of my life. Understanding the double standards that exist and are perpetuated by the college environment, I find, is healthy as a college student. Self-awareness is important.

This photo emphasizes the need for men to become more involved in gender equality and feminism. Because of the way we, as a society, treat gender inequality as solely a women’s issue, boys and men like these college students do not understand the implications of their words and displays. This is a common theme among men in society - they do not understand that gender inequality negatively affects them as well, so many of them think it is okay to ridicule the cause, as shown in this photo. In order to combat this mindset, society should be working towards creating a more inclusive definition of feminism and gender issues. Katz and Kaufman both raise compelling points regarding the role of men in gender equality and feminism.

College campuses are intended to be safe learning environments that provide students, especially female ones with the necessary security measures, to protect their own bodies, and to boost their psychological state. Unequivocally, the admission to one of the American universities is a turning point in the life of women, who are keen to improve their academic and social skills, and be an active part of the society. Picturing universities as places, where female students can peacefully experience the world, and meet new people, this picture often fades away, as soon as, these students encounter a different reality.

Amelia remembered how hard it was. The first challenge of her career was getting into college. College were for men. Everyone kept telling her this, hoping she would give up. She went through several college letters telling her she was denied. It didn’t make any sense! Her grades were all over 95%, probably better than any of the men applying. She’d have to have gone through at least thirty letters of denial before she was finally accepted.

In conjunction with the communications department, another group of people at the college with an interest in this idea is alumni, and especially female alumnae, from the engineering department. In one article discussing the lack of women in engineering in college, Kaitlyn Bunker, a former student at Michigan Technological University mentioned that the main reason she was able to continue on through her engineering program was the constant presence of other women in her life due to an all-female residence hall. With more women in the engineering program, the presence of other females would happen in both social and academic areas, not just one of them. In the same article, another alumna, Sarah Flanigan, mentions that she felt like she was at a disadvantage simply because she was the only woman in her class. In the

As Gloria Steinem once said, “A gender-equal society would be one where the word ‘gender’ does not exist: where everyone can be themselves”. Recently, Lehigh has been implemented something new to better embrace the meaning of gender inclusion. The newest residence hall building, Farrington Square Apartment, is now available for all-gender rooming, which means girls and boys can live together in one room. Residence Life, Residential Service, and the Pride Center believe, “This is an active effort to align Lehigh’s living options with the Principles of Our Equitable Community”. Even though to some extent, it is hard for people, who traditionally lived in dormitories divided into male and female, to become accustomed to the gender-inclusive rooming, this decision is a huge progress Lehigh made in giving students a sense of belonging and allowing them to experience more diverse living styles.

If a female student is the best candidate for a place on a course, it
