Tell us about when you were inauthentic and how it impacted your success.
If you had the chance to do it all over again, what would you do differently now that you know the importance of being your authentic self?

You will contribute with a minimum of two (2) responses. You can start your own topic or respond to your classmates’ (or mix-and-match, of course). The only two requirements are that each post should be a meaningful contribution to the discussion (so, not just say “Yes, totally, I agree!”), and each post should be at least 200 words long (in part to ensure the application of the previous requirement).
Please do NOT repeat the exact topics/ideas covered by another student. If you agree with them and what they covered also interested you, respond to their insight. With this in mind, I recommend you read the material and post your discussion topic early in the week.
Please make it personable and

In the book “Gendered Lives” by Julia T. Wood, three key concepts related to gender identity include:
1. Gender as a Social Construction: This concept emphasizes that gender identity is not inherent or solely biologically determined but is constructed through social interactions, cultural norms, and institutional practices. The book discusses how society’s expectations and norms shape individuals’ understanding and performance of gender. For writer ( he is more of a protector) while wife is more of nurture. Other than that chores are shared and do not have a pre defined chore gender.
2. Intersectionality: Wood explores how gender identity intersects with other social categories such as race, class, sexuality, and age. This concept highlights that individuals experience gender differently depending on their unique combination of identities, leading to diverse and multifaceted experiences of oppression and privilege.
3. Gendered Communication: The book delves into how communication practices reinforce and challenge gender identities. It examines how language, media representations, and interpersonal communication contribute to the construction and perpetuation of gender norms and how individuals use communication to express and negotiate their gender identities.
These concepts illustrate the complexity of gender identity and the various factors that influence its development and expression.

Change-Experiencing Communication in Our Lives Case Study: The Roommates Apply what you’ve learned in this chapter by analyzing the following case study, using the accompanying questions as a guide. Bernadette and Celia were assigned to be roommates a month ago when the school year began. Initially, both were pleased with the match because they discovered commonalities in their interests and backgrounds. They are both sophomores from small towns, they have similar tastes in music and television programs, and they both like to stay up late and sleep in. Lately, however, Brianna has been irritated by Celia’s housekeeping or lack of it. Celia leaves her clothes lying all over the room. If they cook in, Celia often leaves the pans and dishes for hours, and then it’s usually Brianna who cleans them. Brianna feels she has to talk to Celia about this problem, but she hasn’t figured out how or when to talk. When Celia gets in from classes, Brianna is sitting and reading a textbook on her bed. Celia: Hey Bri, how’s it going? Celia drops her book bag in the middle of the floor, flops on the bed, and kicks her shoes off on the floor. As Brianna watches, she feels her frustration peaking and decides now is the time to talk to Celia about the problem. Brianna: You shouldn’t do that. You make me nuts the way you just throw your stuff all over the room. Celia: I don’t “throw my stuff all over the room.” I just took off my shoes and put my books down, like I do every day. Brianna: No, you didn’t. You dropped your bag right in the middle of the room, and you kicked your shoes and left them in a mess where they landed. And you’re right—that is what you do every day. Celia: There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be comfortable in my own room. Brianna: Comfortable is one thing. But you’re so messy. Your mess makes me really miserable. Celia: Since when? This is the first time I’ve heard about it. Brianna: Since we started rooming together, but I didn’t want to say anything about how angry you make me. I just can’t stand it anymore. You shouldn’t be so messy. Celia: Sounds to me like you’ve got a problem—you, not me. Brianna: Well it’s you and your mess that are my problem. Do you have to be so sloppy? Questions for Analysis and Discussion: 1. Identify examples of you-language in this conversation. 2. How would you change it to I-language? 3. Identify examples of loaded language and ambiguous language. 4. Do you agree with Celia that the problem is Brianna’s, not hers? 5. Do Celia and Brianna seem to engage in dual perspective to understand each other
