What i feel.

You know how some teachers treat certain groups of people differently? not particularly favortism, just different treatment. One of my favorite classes this year has been honors world history, taught by my favorite acedimic teacher of the year Andy Rasch. He always talks to everyone as if they are all different to him and not identical to everything that walks through the door. Like every teacher should, he gives everyone a chance to speak even if its only every once in awhile.
But every 2 to 3 days out of a week he'll lean to the Scarlett Johanson side rather than the Winona Ryder side.
I recall keeping my hand up on and off almost the whole class period until about 15 minutes till the bell. I was trying to answer different questions and disscuss things. Even though the whole time i'd keep putting my hand up long before the "scarlett's" and he'd say, "well your(talking to a scarlett) hand was up first, so you can answer." Almost at the end of the enitre studdy session he finally begins to let me answer a question. He tells the whole class to turn to a certain page after i offered to answer it, then when everyone got to the page i told him that i had the actual answers and he was like, "yeah, you can read them." I passed him off. "I don't want to now."
The way he'll look at me compared to the scarlett's-which by now i hope you've figured out that they're classified in the stereotypical pretty girl group-he'll give me a smirk and them a laugh or a playful comment...

I guess when it comes down to it its the fact that Andy is attracted to a stereotypical idea of women. The idea being that women who are or act like they're full of air means that they're spineless, weak and feeble enough to dominate. Along with ignorant comments about serious topics or cardboard subjects and trendy senses of styles... for example...
Trendahhhhh!
Right theree..
I'm mostly just annoyed for the tremendous amount of tolerance he has for the scarlett's. I know what he's attracted to though. The scarlett's...even though he values peoples intelligence when they have it-he does not savor it.
