Question

1. Read the article "You Write Like a Girl: 5 Ways Women Sell Themselves Short in Writing":

Here, you'll notice that there is a value judgment--although it's not about the sex/gender of the writer him/herself, just about a few particular writing habits women are reportedly more likely to have than men. Think about your own writing in similar contexts (or, even better, review an old application, resume, or cover letter you've written)--do you see yourself making the written moves the authors advise against? Do you think these moves are limited to the writing of women.

2. Read the article at the following link:

"Genderspotting tool could have rumbled fake blogger."

Discuss impressions and observations based on your reading and your own experiences. Feel free to also question to underlying assumption in these pieces that gender is binary--an assumption that both anthropological history and modern psychology agree is unrealistic.
