Rhetoric of Gender:Pathos
For many years people believe that women and men have different ways of speaking , and for this particular blog I will talk about the way they use their emotions when they want to talk about a particular subject. Take in consideration that no particular background or culture would be used for this comparison only the way they choose to speak.
For many years now women are seeing as more delicate and fragile than men, but let's put away the physical appearances. When women talk about a certain thing they tend to actually show "delicate and fragile" in example :
"oh dear!" or "darn" while men use stronger ones like "dammit" or "Oh shit!"
(lackoff)
these words are used to show a certain emotion when one has to dscrib their emotions, woman show more tranquility while man show and aggressive and more violent reaction. Women are often seen as more imtellegent than men not only because its been scientifically proven but because it also has to do alot with the way they use pathos when talking to people, they dont only show that they are aware of what they are saying but they are more passive in the words they have chosen to say. It might becaus men are seying as "stronger" but women when trying to show their emotions to strangers persay use specialized vocabulary, where men dont do that they try to be more of speaking what they think. Women use pathos more in conversations than men in general.

First Blog
Hi, first blog! My other was an "About me Section" bummer, you would think that after having an online journal I would have an idea of how this whole thing works.... I am a person who is open to all kinds of music the oldest the music the better, the newest the music the most entertaining. I hate labeling myself as anything and I think my name is enough of a label. I love reading and writing, writing is the only way I feel I can warn people about things that are going around the world, in one perfect sentence. And you might all soon notice I HATE being confused, the ironic thing is I hate being told what to do but love being told exactly what to write
The topic I will be blogging about is the rhetoric of gender. When I saw this I knew certainly what my first blog would be about, equality and informative. When referring to this topic I'm going to try to add a lot of cultural beliefs on how a certain culture expects a woman to talk versus a man. As well, as to what society expects from the speech and language of a man versus a women. I chose this topic not because Im a feminist but certainly because there is a lot of discrimination put into women about the way they should present themselves into society and language is certainly something that everyone notices.
One of the goals that I have for this class is to be able to manage and sort out my thoughts into an essay.Sometimes I have so many good ideas that I just write them everywhere in my paper, in hope of not loosing a good point. I want to manage my ideas and express more of a fact in a paper than an opinion.I see writing as something fun and when Im given a topic that is not of my interest I tend to do my worst job. I never give my 100%, or so I 've been told by my teachers, because apparently I try to keep a tough look and "act stupid" so my goal for this class is to give it my 100% and show it as well.
