GENDER BiAS

"Sitting in the same classroom, reading the same textbook, listening to the same teacher, boys and girls receive very different educations." (Sadker, 1994) In fact, upon entering school, girls perform equal to or better than boys on nearly every measure of achievement, but by the time they graduate high school or college, they have fallen behind. (Sadker, 1994)

This is an interesting topic that Fernanda talked about in her presentation.
Actually I did not know anything about it, but after Fernanda’s performance I realized that this is very common in schools.
For example where I did my professional training, students were divided into women and men at physical education class.
At the beginning, Fernanda was really nervous; she even had to stop for awhile. I think this is okay, everyone gets nervous in an oral presentation, and the most important thing is she was able to overcome it.

The words you see below are some words that Fernanda mentioned during her presentation:

mankind; humanity, humankind, human civilization.
man-made: synthetic, manufactured, artificial,imitation.
businessman: executive, wholesaler, business person.
cameraman: camera operator, technician
congressman: member of Congress, representative.
craftsman: carpenter, artisan, skilled craftworker
landlord: land owner, property manager.
