Cupid

I woke up today trying to interpret feminism in the 21st century. One can assume that our society has opened itself to equalizing the roles of the male and female genders. But has it really?

I want to start this blog with a simple comment. Girls have a better chance to get into the college they want. 

Does that ring a bell?

But lets understand the concept in a closer case scenario.

Patty goes out to a party and meets Ron, a charming handsome guy who has a penetrating glare. As soon as Patty sees him, Cupid struck her.

Ron seeks for the girl of that will make his night but as a first impression, she has to be  "some sensuous Madonna, with the day of the fading day enriching her splendid color" (31). Patty was no girl of some sort, "she was rather handsome than beautiful". Nevertheless, Cupid struck him as well.

Comment 1: who approached whom? Obviously Ron. Why? If a girl approaches a guy it could be misinterpreted as the girl being a slut, or really needy. 

They danced for a while until he asked her for her BB Pin. 

Comment 2: Same comment as comment 1. If a girl asks for a guy's BB Pin it implies desperation a.k.a "I need a boyfriend, add me now so we can talk" (18).

Patty was really happy she finally had a boy that was interested, that was willing to talked to her. They went out a couple of times. And liked each other. In a romantic evening Ron leaned to kiss Patty. 

Comment 3: Why didn't Patty lean to kiss Ron?
