#1) The world treats Hazumu in a completely different way after he was changed to a she. There are three different social groups mainly involved with Hazumu in this episode, they are: her family, friends, and the media. Starting with Hazumu’s family her mother loves the idea of having a girl. The mother even goes to a point in saying, “I’ve always wanted a girl”. As excited as the mother was the father was even more excited. The father really wanted to take a bath with his new daughter. After that scene, it is safe to say that the father is a pervert. Hazumu quickly tells her father that she does not want to take a bath with him, she was kind of taken off balance from her dad. With her friends, especially Tomari treated her very differently …show more content…

When Tomari finally accepts that Hazumu just wants to be a girl she takes on the task of making Hazumu the most perfect girl ever. Almost everything Hazumu did Tomari had to fix her from doing it that way, she would say something like, girls don’t do that. Many of the things that Tomari taught Hazumu are a part of the American culture also. At the beginning of the episode Hazumu opened her legs before class, she tried to fan out her area down there. In America, not very many girls would think spreading your legs and fanning them would be appropriate. When her friend Asuta wants to help her with her breast measuring or even look at her breast, because Hazumu offered, Tomari quickly prompted that girls do not do that. Which generally in the United states most girls do not let their friends that are boys see their breasts. In the United States the requirements are similar yet there are some differences. For example, the fanning out legs or spreading of legs is generally thought to be okay. Although, when Hazumu is in trouble with the media Asuta in American culture should protect her because he is a boy. In this culture, he apparently isn’t held liable to protect Hazumu because Tomari is the one that comes to the

On page 131, Harutomo explains how he and Kansuke had to keep busy by distributing rice and millet to the soldiers and how sometimes, some soldiers would come complaining to one of the two claiming someone had stolen their share of food. This relationship between Harutomo and Wada Kansuke with the soldiers reminded me of a parent and child relationship in a sense. This may sound funny, but a lot of kids fight with their friends/siblings and come running to their parents, blaming the other.

Whether it be in the workplace or walking down the street there is always going to be more pressure and judgment being focused on women than men. Why is this? Gender plays a big role on the reflection of our identities to society. We have been brought to believe that there are certain ways men and women should and should not act, dress and talk. These social norms do not just apply to what is acceptable in regards to public safety but rather, it is used as a way to control and evaluate behavior.

Therefore, I think that gender roles are reversed in this novel. Starting with the Noh Theatre reference, where men also take female roles, we can see throughout the novel how there's not a defined male or female behaviour, as women seem to have attitudes traditionally related to men and men seem to act like a woman is traditionally expected to. In this novel, women are in control. However, this doesn’t apply to Harumé, as she is simply treated as another tool in Mieko’s revenge scheme. Mieko is the perfect example of the powerful woman archetype, feared by both men and women as she doesn’t fulfill the typical woman role expectations.

While this shyness tends to be somewhat sexist in nature, insofar that men are able to show much more skin than women, no one today, regardless of biological sex, would show up to their local fitness centre completely nude to exercise. However a double standard remains in modern culture in regards to nudity. Nude figures are showcased for advertising purposes; female bodies with little clothing are often displayed on billboards and in commercials aired on television to sell products such as alcohol, clothing, and sporting entertainment. Yet women cannot go shirtless in everyday life. Particularly in the United States female breasts are considered as sexual organs (even though they are not classified scientifically as such) and many women resort to participating in natural human activities such as breast-feeding infants in public restroom stalls and other disgusting places, often for the sake of male peace of
