1. I liked how the Indian Woman took their destiny in their own hands, because even back then in 1496 these woman did what they wanted to do, and not what they were ordered to do. It’s amazing to me that those women were that way back then, and later on woman let men step all over them. Maybe if those Indian women would of stuck around we wouldn’t have to fight for women’s rights as much as we’ve had to in the past.
2. I didn’t like the Christian men, because the way she describe them they sounded so sexist. What bothered me the most was when she said the Christian Men were astonished to see woman playing the same games the men were playing, and even sometimes on the same team. Their ignorance really got to me, because it irritates me to know that some men still think the same way that those Christian men did back in 1496.
3. I found it bizarre that famous woman writers were so suicidal, because if Emily Dickinson and Virginia Woolf weren’t happy with their lives, they could have just been what every girl was doing during their time, or find something more enjoyable to do.
4. I found it frustrating when that one man’s answer to why woman do not play pelota was, “Because women do not have Pelotas.” I found it so frustrating, because woman shouldn’t be able to not play a sport or do something because something we were or weren’t born with. We now live in a world where woman can do everything men can do, and sometimes more and greater and ignorant men need to accept that.
7. I learned a couple of important things from reading this. The first was there are no guarantees in life and I think that’s important because we all need to live fully each and every day cause you never know what can happen or if you will ever make it back safely to your warm bed at night. The second was not to be or ashamed or discouraged of finding my own macho within and that’s important because I should never hold back because of the way I think society would perceive me.
