She often remarks that she is proud of her diagnosis as a sociopath, and the other girls feel somehow fearless when in her company. The dark side of Lisa’s personality, however, can appear very abruptly, and she goes from being extraordinarily nice to the “new patient” Susanna to perversely cruel in a matter of seconds. Lisa is also very proud of her history as an ex-junkie who never sleeps, barely eats, and never takes her medication, using it instead as a barter item to get favors out of the other patients in the ward. She almost never speaks of any family except her brother, but even that relationship is not defined to any extent. She displays many characteristic patterns of behavior which indicate the diagnosis of an antisocial personality disorder or a sociopath.
She is a fierce, independent woman who does not need any man. Her independence and headstrong attitude implies that she is having difficulties fitting in with society. Among the suitors she is “famous for [having] a scolding tongue” and would never think twice about marrying her. Instead, they are more enamoured towards her younger sister who is the exact opposite of her sister. It so happens that Petruchio is looking for a wealthy bride and does not care about her behavior.
I'm not taking any talent away from her at all. But I think she's a super beast — a super freak in the women's division. Lesnar is not the first person to call for others in the bantamweight field to step up and give Rousey a run for her
“Back in the days when everyone was old and stupid or young and foolish and me and Sugar were the only ones just right”, (Bambara p. 456) the opening line shows us Sylvia’s mind set; she is a stubborn, self centered, feisty young lady. She (Sylvia) believes at her age that she knows everything and she can take on the world. She does not understand at this point the hardships that surround her, nor does she care. Life is just fine to her and everyone is just as they should be. When the mentor, Miss Moore, enters the picture, Sylvia is unimpressed to say the least.
Although somewhat unrealistic, this is stereotypical of a young girl in America of this age, she is loving and adorable and unable to understand how unsuccessful she will be in winning the beauty pageant. “I won! I won! I get to go to the championships!” Olive screams when she gets the phone call to announce her making the finals. “I think I can win ‘cause a lot of the new girls - don’t have the experience” this portrays a young American girl in a huge way and so supports it strongly, as American girls of this age haven’t had a huge amount of life experience which leads to her elaborate aspirations.
She is a heavyset woman with bright orange hair and overly flamboyant clothes. Although, in our modern world, Dora's business would be frowned upon, she exudes morality in all her practices, she: doesn't sell hard liquor, keeps an honest price on all of the services, and doesn't allow profanity or vulgarity to be spoken there. In addition, Dora has to be a very charitable person. Due to the fact that she runs an illegal practice and is always in danger of being shut down by the authorities, she has to be twice as philanthropic as anyone else. For example, when the general donation for a policeman's ball is a dollar, Dora is forced to give $50.
Although acceptance of females has increased over time, men and women are still not viewed as equals. Sports are and always have been male dominated and male centered, lacking support for female participants. The film, “A League of Their Own” is set in the year 1943 during the Second World War. Women are recruited to play professional baseball in place of the men while they are away at war. However, they face many obstacles and setbacks because of their gender despite their ability to play baseball.
The main protagonist is a woman, which is unheard of in typical Reaganite cinema. The woman would usually be allocated a demeaning role where she would be a sex object or would require rescuing at some point. Reaganite Cinema depicts white, muscle bound, masculine men fighting a personal battle. Although it could be argued Patrick Swayze fits this description, his character is not the main protagonist of the film and his profession as a dancer emasculates him. He is also seen as a sexual object by some of the woman at Catskills and Baby eventually rescues him.
Instead of openly hitting on a girl, we must flirt, we must hint, being openly sexual is frowned upon at school or work. The men of my generation have been raised differently; many have been raised by women without a male figure in their life. Women are also different, they work for themselves, compete and are self-sufficient; clearly a stark contrast from their classical counterparts. Men work alongside women in the workplace at school and are taught to be professional, to respect a woman as a colleague instead of an object of sexual desire. However I believe that beneath this layer of “properness” there is the still the raw sexuality of our nature.
The term “woofer” is often used with an implied attitude of superficiality on the speaker’s part. This plays an impact on a woman’s self-esteem as she is bound by society to believe her self-worth lies in her appearance only. But Barry’s diction is not laced only with informality. In a sophisticated manner with precise and descriptive diction, he exemplifies his friend, Janice, as a perfect example of his point. Though her appearance is well to others and “is a highly competent professional with a good job and a fine family,” she is “always seeing horrific
