er..wastn’ it David? not Bryan? =.=ll, i think you typed wrong name..^^..I agree with you on the Safe Space one. Virkham was so harsh to any body who is not South Asian. I think he sees people racist toward Asian, but infact he is the one who is racist.

Once again, Marshall placed us in our Acting groups and the class performed some of the scenes. But before that, he juxtaposed the differences of a man and a woman’s way of life. Brian and Nancy were the two victims of the whole experiment. They both had to play opposite sexes and to try to keep it in mode without switching back to their original sex demeanors. Marshall interacted with the class and pointed out that woman take little space, walk small steps, and speak softly. While men tend to take a lot of space, take control of their surroundings when walking, and speak with a loud confident voice. We found out that it was difficult for Brian and Nancy to stay in character as our human instincts automatically adjusts back to original attitude depending on the sex. I found it interesting and had a great time watching the rest of my class perform the scenes in M. Butterfly.

I also finished Safe Space and felt that it was terrible what Vikram did. At first, he was on the right path to uniting Homosexuals, but throughout the story, he kept on canceling out other people due to the non Southern-Asian ethnicity. The story completely backfired and showed that there is a real problem with the social lives of homosexuals.
