Blog #4 Gender roles

I looked up the classes that are in the women studies department, and I noticed that some classes deal with gender and are not "women studies" courses. I would like to take Body Image vs. Reality sometime before I graduate. I would like to get a job as a radiologist after I graduate. I never really thought about the importance that my gender would have in the work place, but after taking this course, I have become very aware of gender remarks in my everyday life. I would like to think that my gender would not affect my job as a radiologist but I know that there will prob be some kind of situations that it will affect. I know right now with the job that I have women just do not do certain types of jobs. It is not a rule or anything , its just that women don't work in the back and the men don't work in the front. I never really thought anything about it untill this course. This course has opened my eyes to a lot of things I was never aware of. I am definetely going to be taking some more women studies courses at the university.
