Pens for Her

I was fooling around on YouTube when i came across this video.  I love Ellen and think she is hilarious, but she brought up a really good point, why do women need their own specific pen? Are we that different from men that we need a pink or purple pen to feel comfortable writing.  The way Ellen portrays the pen is funny but also true, she may have exaggerated in some parts but her main point was that the stereotypes about women are still here, to the point where we need pens made specifically for women.

Women Professors

In this article from The Guardian it shows how becoming a women professor can have its pros and cons.  Sally Tomlinson tells the story of her success as a professor as well as the hardships she faced from some of her male counterparts  and her females of her family. Sally really gave hope in this article for women who are part of the working class, she states how to succeed in life and how as a women you can do anything you want.  Sally Tomlinson shows that in the face of adversity if you stick to what you know and you always fight back you will succeed. Feminist from around the world can relate to Sally because of her actions in life and her will to succeed in field originally dominated by men, and not only did she succeed but she managed to start a family and support herself, without the help of her husband.  She succeeded through hard work and ambition and feminist can appreciate that.
