Comment: Miss Maudie Atkinson, and all women in the book are considered to the general public as weak, delicate, and fragile. From their perspective, we could say that women are like precious porcelain tea sets. Atticus says that the fragility of women is what makes them unable to take part in the trial, but having women that are part of trials like Tom Robinson's case was exactly what they needed]]> 2018-08-26 04:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/anguyen221/go46cc87r2t2/wish/275350859 anguyen221 https://padlet.com/anguyen221/go46cc87r2t2/wish/275351798 Summary: Female soccer player Elizabeth Lambert is known for the viral videos of her throwing punches and pulling the hair of her opponents. Lambert received harsh criticism and apologized to "practically everyone in New Mexico". There seems to be a double-standards for female athletes and male athletes everywhere around the world. Society always will have higher expectations in behavior and lower expectations in action for women. For example, LeGarrette Blount, an American football player, has been filmed punching another player in the face. And although he was suspended for the season, he was quickly reinstated.

High school senior Jackson Brooks believes that calling girls' clothing distracting implies that girls are the reason to the disruptions in classes. "That's like saying that because a store has a cash register, it's the store's fault if it gets robbed!"
If that is the way that school systems thinks, why don't they consider that female students could also be 'distracted' from the clothing of male. This way of thinking suggests that schools only care about how boys learn.
