When I saw this article I became so frustrated that I knew I
had to share it. A public school
in Dallas, Texas hosted a motivational speaker to talk about his dating rules. It is also important to note that this
speaker is also suppose to be a “religious motivational speaker.” His entire speech is about reinforcing
the gender norms where girls are “soft, you are gentle, you are a woman” he
even says, “don’t try to be a guy. Guys like you because you are different from
them. So let your girly-ness soar”
Essentially his tips for women are to shut up because when you talk too much
you lose the “mystery.” STOP
THIS. This is so absurd and I am
SO disappointed a school would ever have a speaker come into their school.
Oh and FYI he has a R U dateable quiz and I took it and it
says that I am “hopeless.” Uh..
okay.
Thoughts? I would LOVE to hear them.
I didn't take the quiz but I'm pretty sure it would label me as hopeless. Why is this ok?!? All this is doing is reaffirming that males are obviously dominant and that equality doesn't exist. What if a girl just likes to talk a lot? Does that mean that she's undateable? I can't believe a college would support this.
