The truth is that men are very different than women, which is why they prefer some foods that most women may not like. Women are generally smaller than men, which is why people tend to associate salads with women and steaks with men. I don't think that food stereotypes are a negative aspect of today's society. For the most part, I believe that people eat what they want to eat, regardless of what is associated with their gender.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61477962","dateCreated":"1360974833","smartDate":"Feb 15, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"amkimura","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/amkimura","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61477962"},"dateDigested":1532140588,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Response","description":"I think Keely and Daye picked an interesting article because I did not realize food could be made into gender stereotyping. The article made me think of the movie White Chicks, when the huge masculine guy asks the male cop who is undercover as a girl if she wants a salad. I believe the foods associated to men and women are based on the stereotypes of men and women. Men are suppose to be big and manly, therefore they should eat A LOT of food. Women on the other hand are generalized as moody, which is why they need their chocolate to feel better. Women are also suppose to be smaller then men, so they are suppose to eat less. Salads put on less weight then a steak which is why people assume women may eat more greens. I think food stereotypes are made because men and women are trying to live up to society's gender stereotypes.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61469150","dateCreated":"1360882929","smartDate":"Feb 14, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"cafasi","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/cafasi","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61469150"},"dateDigested":1532140588,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Reponse","description":"This article kind of reminds me of the Sandy Hook article and current event on toys.

I don't feel that the association of gender and meals is a large issue and author Eva Wiseman was making a bigger deal about the discovered commonalities than was necessary. I do agree with her though, that our association of desserts with women and meat with men comes from our cultural understanding of each other.

The fact that the author uses the word "strictly" when describing which food men eat vs. which food women eat is really amusing. Honestly, I think this article is pointless, the author is trying to make a case for the littlest thing. Of course guys will need eat more protein, it is crucial that we get fuel that will enable to get bigger and stronger. Why doesn't the author write an article about how more men drink protein after lifting than women? You can agree to disagree in this case. There is an argument to make on every little aspect of life, but it comes down to upbringing which influences ones preference.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61468294","dateCreated":"1360873879","smartDate":"Feb 14, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"1kristinas","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/1kristinas","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61468294"},"dateDigested":1532140588,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Response","description":"I, like Daye, found this article to be funny. I completely agree with my peers responses, like Lauren who said, "I think it is all a matter of preference" and Landon's comment about how he doesn't think "that society forces people to eat certain things. A person can eat anything they want." Similarly to Landon's love for chocolate and pudding, I for one am a huge meat eater-- every birthday meal my mom prepares a hearty meal that consists my two favorites, ribs and burgers. Because of this, I truly believe it is all a matter of preference, and that food items and gender are not correlated. I can see why some would believe they do correlate, though. For instance, a generalization exists that all men like to build strong, lean muscles (society reinforces this assumption). Therefore, foods rich in protein (like meat) are automatically associated with men. On the other hand, a generalization exists that all women are often emotional and resort to "eating their emotions" (society\/media reinforces this assumption also), and foods rich in carbohydrates (like dessert), actually cause the brain to release serotonin, which has been shown to decrease stress and anxiety. Therefore, foods rich in carbohydrates are automatically associated with women. Food companies base their marketing techniques off these generalizations and assumptions. So although society automatically links certain foods with certain genders, when it really comes down to it, it is solely based on interest and inclination of a person.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61467764","dateCreated":"1360871112","smartDate":"Feb 14, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"taranador","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/taranador","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61467764"},"dateDigested":1532140588,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Response","description":"This article intrigued me because I've noticed this "stereotype" of men=meat and women=sweets but this had me think of why it is. I partially agree with Yvonne that boys are encouraged to eat more when they are younger but that is not the reason for men and meat. Yes, meat is seen to make men... men but I think it is based on what our bodies need. I think it comes back to body image because men tend to be muscular but in order for that, they need protein. I disagree about women being the dessert lovers because anyone can have a sweet tooth. Especially for girls, our hormones change every month and it creates cravings food.. not only sweets. I think that the food we decide to have is based on what our body needs but then another factor of body image tacks onto our diet. That is why media is a big influence since they advertise what women and men should look like which directs what people should eat.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61463376","dateCreated":"1360835084","smartDate":"Feb 14, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"daushiji","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/daushiji","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61463376"},"dateDigested":1532140589,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Response","description":"Reading this article there were particular points that I agreed as well as disagreed with. Sure there are particular foods that are consumed more by a particular gender but it does not mean there should be foods that are "strictly for girls". For example, cupcakes are said in the article to be a stereotypical female food while steak is a stereotypical male food. However, I know just as many girls and guys that enjoy both types of food. Despite knowing this I can understand how people may associate particular foods with a particular gender. But, its a good idea to wonder why this is so. I feel like sweets and pastries may be seen as female food because of media but also stories women tell. Chocolate, ice cream and other candies are portrayed as women's go to medicine for heart break and any multitudes of sad events that may have occurred. Such foods also tend to be sweet and dainty\/delicate which are adjectives that are more related to women than to men. On top of this idea baked goods seem to be a food more associated with women because of the fact there is the stereotypical idea that women
\nbake and therefore many may relate this food to the female gender. If this is the case then why are men more related to meaty foods like steak? Just like women are associated with baking men in the same way are associated with BBQ and grilling. This is why steak and other types of meaty foods are seen as male gender orientated. Also, when thinking about meat there is no dainty way to eat it and therefore it may be more difficult to imagine it as a female type food. Overall, I can understand why these food gender stereotypes may exist but I believe that men and women enjoy majority of foods equally.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61463056","dateCreated":"1360827042","smartDate":"Feb 13, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"laaurenh","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/laaurenh","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61463056"},"dateDigested":1532140589,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Response","description":"This article was very interesting because I actually remember when I was in 7th grade and my brother was a senior; he would always tell my parents that he needed more meat. Whenever we would go to the market he demanded that meat was an essential item on the shopping list. However, I never gave it that much thought. As I read the article I was in shock at some of the assumptions that are related to food for women versus men. I do not think that men eat meat just because it's a manly thing to do or that women eat cupcakes because that's what is portrayed in media. I know so many girls who love their meats and many guys who love their sweets.
