It's Not a Shocker That Women Are Marked

In Deborah Tannen's essay, "There is No Unmarked Women" there is so much truth in what she is saying. Women are always being looked at and judged based on appearance. The style of dress or overall demeanor of a women causes some kind of attention. This stereotype of women leaves them to be marked or labeled.

Is this right and why aren't men marked? Tannen wants her reader's see how there is a difference in what is thought towards women. A woman could be in comfortable clothing and still have a reaction of being different. Women should not be looked at in that kind of way, but it it's sad to that it is very common.

In a work setting, that includes women and men, there will be comments in the back of someones mind of, "why did that person fix there hair that way?" People should really not worry about things like that, unless it is affecting that persons working habits, which I doubt that it would.
