BubbaNub: 4/24

   In regards to Thursdays class, I do not know where to even begin.  The experiment as a whole, although interesting, could not accurately represent the point that Doc. Rog was trying to prove.  By silencing the men, the exercise became more of a game and as we all know it can be difficult to pass up good opportunities for a joke.  The fact that most men were engaged in their computers does not equal the assumption that they were uninterested in the female opinion.  Because writing was their only tool, it took more time to formulate their thoughts and get them out.  I am a male in the class, and while I did exaggerate and joke, I keenly listened to every female voice that was speaking, and in this I was disappointed.

     A majority of my comments attempted to facilitate the discussion and keep it pertinent to the original discussion.  However, I felt as though the female lead discussion steered itself towards superficial topics and tangents.  Only when Doc. Rog interjected did the discussion get back on course.  This could be due to a number of reasons.  As previous people have mentioned in their blogs, this could have happened because the females felt powerful, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Then again, maybe it is just a difference of opinion in the male/female psyche that lead me to consider their conversation as largely superficial.
