I. Introduction
Some of the classes that really interest me would be “Should men have a say in whether their partner has an abortion?” This interest me because my sister was pregnant at a really young age and was considering abortion, well more like my parents considered it for her, but she was not going to let him have a say in it either way. I also think it’s a very interesting subject as a whole because many women believe men should not have a say, but they are just as much the child 's parent as is the mother. Although some mothers say the father is only the sperm donor really because they don 't carry them for 9 months or get the symptoms you get when pregnant.

It sounds interesting to me because many people say that girls and boys distract each other whether it be because of the fact that they are attracted to the opposites sex.

Even though he was labeled as gay, everyone still liked him and he was never bullied. Turns out he really isn 't gay but just happend to act feminine like.

What even is normal nowadays? Some people would talk about him behind his back to other friends and say he was gay for sure because it wasn’t “normal” for a guy to be feminine like or have all girl friends. People throw around the word “normal” as if it really exists. People in this world are socialized to believe the stereotypes predetermined for each sex. Therefore a boy is not supposed to act like a “girl” and vice versa. These stereotypes can be dated so far back and like we spoke of in class sometimes it’s easier to just put people into
