Last night I was watching the show George Lopez. George Lopez was sitting on a couch watching TV with his daughter Carmen's boyfriend, Jason. Carmen was going into the kitchen to write poetry, and Jason got up too to make sandwiches. George told him not to go, and told his daughter Carmen to make two sandwiches. She agreed like it wasn't a big deal and started to walk to the kitchen. Her friend Mackenzie got really mad at this and told Carmen not to make any sandwiches for them. She complained that George was using Carmen to make them food. Mackenzie got in an argument with George about whether Carmen should make the two males food and then the argument led to sexism. George lifted up his arm and pointed to his armpit and said "Mackenzie, I bet you have a forest under there". I found this very funny, but I suppose some feminists wouldn't. George assumed that Carmen was better at making sandwiches than Jason because she is a girl. He probably gets her to make sandwiches all the time, because she didn't argue at all. This reflects a lot of society's views about women, and how they are better at making food. Either this, or that men are just lazier than women. Either way, my girlfriend makes me great sandwiches :)
