This blog is a platform to discuss, critique, analyze and sometimes rant about all things regarding gender, cultural theory and pop culture.  With the help of John Storey’s text and various journal articles from authors such as Cornell, McRobbie, Katz and Chen will be referenced.

On the surface this blog serves the purpose of one undergrad’s honest attempt to pass with a reasonable grade in GRSJ 307, but hopefully we will all together (and by together I mean myself and my mom… Hi mom) delve a little deeper into questions such as when did the “man-bun” become the staple hair style of all hipster men under 30?  why do i find myself sexually stimulated by these man buns?  Why do i care that taylor swift got another cat? Why are we keeping up with the kardashians?  Does Nikki Minaj’s buns really make every man’s anaconda want some? Mayfair or X-Pro II? (obviously X-Pro II it makes you look more tanned) Why is it when I listed off the scholarly writers above my mom said “who?”, but at the same time was instagraming a picture of her Ahi Tuna Salad and recording the season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.   I argue while these questions are indeed trivial, collectively, they shape and maintain the society we live in.

So thank you for stopping by at any point… or ever… really I can’t believe you’re here.  I invite you to please leave a comment and if you are also in my class you have to leave a comment or else you lose participation marks but thanks anyways.

And remember folks you read this blog before it was cool
