This video is from one of my all time favourite shows, “Girls”. If you haven’t seen it, you should. If you have, you’ll understand how this moment from Episode 2 fits into the subject of gender and identity. Shoshana is trying to explain to Jessa that she IS one of the ladies that the book it referring to, however Jessa doesn’t buy it. She doesn’t feel like a book can categorize her as “one of the ladies” because she is her own lady.
I was watching this last night and had to share with the class. This show looks at all sorts of gender issues, but you can really find all social issues addressed in the show!
The Creation of Gender Identity 
I have not watched this show but I can see where you are going with this idea. even though we all maybe classified as a certain gender that does not mean that every male or female has the same needs, dreams, or desires so by classifying everyone as ‘the ladies’ can seem naive.
