So as you can see from me post count, im not the most active person on this forum. I am, however, on it everyday reading posts and stuff. I know people often come here for advice so im doing the same.

Im a guy currently taking a womens studies class (apparently its needed for accounting majors) and need to come up with a topic to give an oral presentation on. The guidelines are very simple. I can do it on anything I want as long as it pertains to women in some way. I can use any sort of resource that I would like as well. I figured since my teacher likes a sense of humor and im one of only 3 males in the class, I would take a lighter approach and do something to poke fun at women just a tad. I would like to incorporate the video in the link below (which I think I initially found here on NICO) about bad women drivers. Thats my problem though. I need some sort of way to make it look like im atleast trying to get some sort of point across or display some sort of fact or acheivement about women. Basically I just need a way to tie in this video to what im doing. I was thinking maybe a Danica Patrick type of "look at her being a female in racing" type of deal.

Any other ideas? Or does anyone have any other interesting ideas for what I can do this on?

Sorry for the long post!

Tim

you can talk about how the women in the video wouldn't have gotten into accidents had they just kept their asses in the kitchen.

You're going to get raped.

Basically, getting raped is your only option.

lol Actually the very first class we talked about womens struggle for voting rights and I asked "Can you vote from the kitchen now?" My teacher and MOST of the girls in the class have a pretty good sense of humor so they let me slide on alot.

Women are all for equality etc. I saw one girl who was " for womens rights" long story short she punched my friend in the head, he turned around and knocked her out cold. Equal rights applies.

This could go somewhere.

Some women want everything to be equal between men and women. So take the approach that what if everyone were equals? Then end it by saying its not gonna happen we are to different. Men have certain roles and women have inescapable roles as well. Mother to a child is something you could choose not to do but it not like its gonna change anytime soon and they can put it on the men for a while.

Start by asking everyone in the class a question to which you think alot will raise their hands and at the end ask a similair but not the same question to see if anyone changed thier mind by any arguement brought up during said presentation.

Use an in class visual aid that is not a poster(unless its hilarious)

if you do it right there will be a lot of discussion post presentation.
