Well it is the day after my twentieth birthday now.  I went to a Norfolk Admirals game.  They are like a minor league hockey team or something along those lines.  Something really ticked me off while I was at the game.  I was there with my sorority sisters and from fraternity guys that we knew pretty well.  This promotional representative of the team was looking around for someone to answer a question to possibly win Admirals tickets.  One of the fraternity brothers was chosen but all of a sudden the guy spotted one of my sorority sisters.  She was showing a bit too much skin and he decided to pick her instead.  The brother was real bummed and pretty upset that she got chosen even though he had already started walking from his seat.  A few minutes went by and then she answered the question...wrong.  He would have guessed the right answer.  Also, when she came back she mentioned that he asked her to facebook friend him.  That seemed like a pretty sexist situation because she was chosen just to get the attention of the crowd.

Above is a link to the Best of Friends bits from YouTube. There is a clip in there that has Joey and Chandler making fun of Ross for dating someone who is younger. The six friends have typically been dating people their own age (in their mid to late 20s). Ross decided to date one of his students and he is ridiculed by the other five over it. They act as though in history, it would be ridiculous for a man to date a much younger woman. Joey and Chandler make comments about her immaturity, playing with Barbies, or saying she is 13. Later in the clips, she actually proves the two men right after she and Ross break up. Ross is commenting in his head that it was a healthy break up and she was really mature about it. Then she throws water balloons at Ross. Women who date older men do not always act that immature as the director portrays.

Above is a link to an episode of Friends, my favorite television show ever. It is titled "The One with a Metaphorical Tunnel." The part of the clip that I wanted to focus my post on was pertaining to Ben. Ben is the son of Ross and his ex-wife Carol, who turned lesbian. While Ben was under the care of Carol and her lover, he begins to enjoy playing with Barbies. Once Ross finds out that his son plays with girl's toys, he takes the Barbies away from him and instead only allows him to play with G.I. Joes. Ross is demostrating gender bias. Just because Ben liked playing with dolls, Ross automatically assumed that he was going to grow up to be gay or have qualities that are too feminine. If Ben were to grow up with biased thoughts like his father, he will believe that women should be in the kitchen, cleaning and cooking, or the men should be hard at work, making the money for their families. Instances such as this are what spread prejudice in the treatment of either gender. I personally have grown up playing multiple sports every year which was considered a bit odd since everyone else my age were cheerleading or dancing. I think it is wrong for someone to think that way since I was just as athletic as any of the guys that I was playing with.
