CH 5 Relationships Insights
- 1. CH 5 Relationships OUR BODIES OURSELVES
- 2. FIRST AND FORMOST This was a very interesting chapter. In order to fully appreciate its value I recommend that everyone read through the interviews. Large scale studies were generally omitted so this chapter consisted mainly of the personal opinions of women with different backgrounds.
- 3. INTERESTING NOTES It seemed that many of the women interviewed, regardless of their gender and sexual identifications, were very similar. Women interviewed spanned from polygamous lesbians, and transgender; to strait, married women. Whether this signals relationships needs are simply human or gender specific is unclear but it is clearly notable.
- 4. LARGE SCALE STUDIES THAT WERE INCLUDED From match.com (2011) 62% of women ages 21-34 would live with someone without Marrying Independence is more important- most women across all age groups prefer personal space to include vacations alone, individual bank accounts and plenty of girls nights out.
- 5. LARGE SCALE STUDIES THAT WERE INCLUDED 45% of adults are unmarried, from 1960- 2008 the percentage of adults in their twenties who were married dropped from 68% to only 26%
- 6. SINGLISM The statistics show that we clearly live in a changing culture, yet many people who are single feel as if they have an obligation to find a long term relationship in order to avoid scrutiny. This idea carries over to the perks that married couples receive from health care to taxes. An interesting point is that their should be no added perks for committing to any type of personal relationship.
- 7. SAD TRUTH One in four teenage women in a relationship report having suffered through verbal abuse. Worse still is that one in three teenage women have known someone who has been physically abused.
- 8. MY DISAPPOINTMENT In order to fully gain anything from this chapter you must read through yourself and find whom you believe you connect with. I wish there were hardened answers but it seems more of a personal journey. What I mean is that finding someone with a similar problem and learning how they handled it may help you with your relationship and personal difficulties.
- 9. HOW THE INTERNET CAN HELP One interviewee commented on a website that assisted them in finding other transgender people’s blogs as a way of working through their problems. The great thing about the internet is that it connects you with so many other people like you. If you have a tough relationship question type it in Google and see what comes up.
- 10. HOW THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE TEXT DIFFERS Apparently earlier versions of the text included different chapters separating relationships by sexual identity. I agree that relationships are relationship but I wish this chapter had a bit more direct information.
- 11. STRONGEST POINT FOR ME Victoria said “I have to reestablish that connection and intimacy before I want to have sex ( whereas he always wants to reestablish connection by having sex)” I have read this elsewhere and its so true, as a man I feel I am being intimate by being sexual. This is just one point proving men and women handle things differently It will take far more than one chapter of this book to bridge that gap but I would appreciate the classes relationship advice. I feel as if a class discussion on relationship issues would be of far more value than the jumping points made in this chapter.
