Facebook group: "Girls should make the first move, and that first move should be a sandwich"
I was just hanging around on Facebook when I saw some of my guy friends "becoming a fan" of this facebook group. I was a little appalled that someone would actually make a group dedicated to the belief that the only thing women are good for is to make men food. You hear those derogatory jokes all the time but guys who think they're cool, but in all reality, it's not cool. You are humiliating a group of individuals who have done nothing to deserve it. I was even more appalled when girls were commenting on the fan page and going along with the jokes. I understand that some women accept and agree with the idea that they should tend and do everything for their "man" but really? Some girls on this page are asking what type of bread or what type of meat, and guys are responding with things like "you'll go far in life" because someone can make a sandwich? This page is just really sexist and I don't understand why any women would joke about it. Constantly we are put on a pedestal to be a certain idea and since I've been taking this class, it seems that constantly I am trying to find ways to veer away from that pedestal.
