1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3.Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...along with these instructions.

and, because i couldn't tell if they meant xxiii or 23, i included both, suckers.

xxiii: Women in erstwhile men's sports are coming to be seen not only as "normal," but as a source of pride.

23: The founding of the Boy Scouts in 1910 was an American effort to "reverse the feared decline in manliness" = a decline the U.S. comissioner of education explained with a fine appreciation of the centrality to masculinity of physical violence: "The boy in America is not being brought up to punch another boy's head, or to stand having his own punched in a healthy and proper manner. . ."

i'm conisidering the second to be all one sentence. nyah.

dowling, colette, the frailty myth: women approaching physical equality. New York: Random House, 2000.
