I have attached my playlist of 5 songs that I feel signify gender for me the best. The first song that I put on there was "This Woman's Work by Maxwell. I feel like this song does a great job of talking positive about women and all their strengths and that is a rarity in today's music. At least to the music I hear. Nowadays there are a lot of degrading songs that I feel are disrespectful to women and I do not see how an artist could produce that kind of music. My second song is Independent by Webbie. It is a rap song that actually says positive things about women who are independent and have their own things and jobs. An independent woman is always a plus because they are not weak minded and can do for themselves and that proves that women can be equal to men. My third song is Protype by Outkast. I feel this song just reinforces the positive image of a women and needs to be heard.4th song is Diva by Beyonce. I feel like Beyonce was speaking to all the women out there with this song.And my last song was Behold A Lady by Outkast. Just another song that is positive to women and proves the fact they can be equal.

The main point I agreed with in the readings was that people will do crazy things for love. That is true because of the crazy things people do that is shown on television shows like Maury, True Life, and other reality shows like Flavor of Love, and Rock of Love. Love is crazy and I do agree that it causes confusion in peoples minds.
