About the author: Naeemah is a sophomore in the College, studying English! She reigns from New York (and Yes! Long Island is part of New York!). She loves movies and books, especially action/adventure. A proud and fervent feminist, she hopes to make a difference in the lives of women everywhere. Read more from this authorSo, I meant to write this blog last week but lost track of time. I was in class (I won’t tell which one since I do not want to get anyone in trouble!) and the professor had a problem that the class had to solve. The answer was a cooking oven, and when a female answered the question, the professor said that she knew a female would answer the question. Everyone laughed (especially after the professor was embarrassed by the comment), but I sat there in shock thinking why we must associate household appliances with women. Then again the times that my professor grew up in were not conducive to women being away from home. I am not sure what to say about the situation because I can understand where the professor was coming from, though I do not respect her comments.
