Freedom To Be “Unmarked”
In response to the discussion question, “Tannen’s essay argues in the end that women should have the “freedom to be unmarked” (par. 34). What does she mean by this? Do you think such a thing is possible? Why or why not?” I came up with this answer: I think she means that women should be able to look like “bumbs” if they want to. Why is it that women have to put on a show all the time? Women are really just treated right down “crazy”. One minute we matter and the next minute we don’t. we have to look a certain way to be acknowledged and noticed. Society has been shaped in such a way until it is ridiculous. Why? It’s beyond women. It’s out of this world. If you’re a person like me, don’t care what others think, then it is possible to have the “freedom to be unmarked”. If you’re someone that is constantly worrying about what others think, what freedom do you have: the only times I try to look my best is at church and special events. Any other day, I’m me. Marked or unmarked, I’m me, and I always will be, but I consider myself free.

I do agree with you Shaquanna. I believe that women do have the right to be "unmarked." It is ok for women to walk around in a T-shirt and pants if they like without the introduction of make-up. A believe woman's true beauty lies under all the make-up and accessories. Her true beauty comes from within. If a man does not notice a woman without make-up then he only notices fashion. Women don't consider themselves as fashion objects or manicans. Women consider themselves as women nothing more, nothing less. You can take a woman with all her flaws without the extra and she will still be the same she was when or if she had it.
