Instructions: There are two parts to the homework. Part 1 is here on this page and Part 2 is on the next page. As always, you should be paraphrasing and summarizing; when you occasionally use the authors words, indicate that you are with quotation marks and page or paragraph number. And, for questions that are worth more points, you should do more writing.
Part 1 “You Guys”
Assigned Readings:
Kleinman, S., Copp, M., & Wilson, K. (2021). We’ve come a long way, guys!: Rhetorics of resistance to the feminist critique of sexist language. Gender & Society, 35(1), 61-84.

1) Where did Kleinman et al. find the arguments that they are now categorizing? (5 pts)
2) They create five categories of arguments (rhetorics) that say the use of “you guys” is NOT sexist. a) Put in your own words three of those rhetorics for why “you guys” is not sexist. b). What are counterarguments to those three rhetorics? (24 pts)
3) What is Camerons argument about the use of you guys? (16 pts)
4) What do you think? Do you use “you guys”? If so what argument best represents your stance. If you dont, which of the stances taken by people who use it do you find most bothersome? Or, if you dont find other peoples use bothersome, just explain why you dont use it. (5 pts)
Part 2 Pronouns and labels
Assigned materials:
A) CROWLEYS TEDTALK VIDEO LANGUAGE AROUND GENDER AND IDENTITY EVOLVES (AND ALWAYS HAS)?
B) MONTELL’S VIDEO THE PROBLEM WITH GENDER-NEUTRAL PRONOUNS

5) Watch Crowleys TedTalk video (Language around gender and identity evolves (and always has)) and Montells video (The problem with gender-neutral pronouns). (24 pts)
a. Give at least three arguments (3 altogether, not 3 each) that they provide. You can combine relevant portions of each video (their arguments might overlap).
b. How do they counter those arguments? Again, you can combine relevant portions of each video (their counterarguments might overlap). Be complete enough that what you’ve written could be understood by someone who hasn’t seen the videos.
6) Read both Paul and Rocheleau. Make clear what each author has to say about the use of ‘gay’ and ‘queer’ (both positive and negative). You should have a long paragraph for each. (20 pts)
7) How do you and people in your life use ‘queer’ or how do you hear it used? Do you share or do you have objections to any of the opinions voiced by Paul or Rocheleau? (6 pts)
