Random question: in the book The Cat in the Hat, do you think of the Fish and Cat as gender neutral, masculine, or feminine and why. I'm writing a paper for my Psychology of Gender Roles class on children's books and I am looking for people to collaborate or disagree with my own impressions before I put them into a paper. One person's opinion is just one person's opinion, and in my opinion not worthy of mention in a paper. However, if more than one person thinks it, there's got to be a reason. This is what I'm trying to find out.

Pardon my random, perhaps stupid question. Blame it on a liberal arts education, a women's college, a scientific mind, or all of the above. Thanks for your input. Any other gender comments welcome. I just might use them, too.

 

Here we go again...

I basically see them as gender neutral but if push came to shove the cat would have to be masculine. He doesn't act effeminate (as best as I remember - been a while) and the stove pipe hat is not something a female would wear. The fish is even more neutral but with some attributes usually aligned (more so) with femininity - the "voice" of caution/reason/prudence, the hand wringing, etc.

 

Interesting. Thanks for your reply. I think I buy into, or at least think that other people buy into the stereotype that the voice of reason, prudence, etc. would be male and the emotional, illogical voice would be female. I know that this is not the case from personal experience; the women I know are much more practical than the men I know, but I think that stereotype is out there. Maybe I'm wrong?

 

Man, Im glad there's not a Ms_NVMY4N yet, I'd be in trouble.




A Welcome to the boards from Ky

 

It's been my experience that the average male is less cautious in most situations compared to his counterpart. Especially if he's looking for a good time or trying to impress someone.

As far as females being more practical . . . . .
I can think of many instances where that has not been the case. So much so that I doubt gender is a real factor.
It's certainly not across the board.
Sorry.
