2. Glennon Doyle, from
Untamed
(2020)
This reading consists of the prologue and two short chapters (“Cheetah,” “Erikas,” and “Boys”) from Glennon Doyle’s 2020 book
Untamed
. Glennon’s reflections are about how we are enculturated or socialized to be men and women in the U.S. Consider whether or not her observations resonate with your own experience.
In the prologue, “Cheetah,” Doyle introduces the metaphor of cages. How does she use this metaphor in each of the three chapters here? Support your discussion with examples. What is her overall argument?
How, according to Doyle, are women and men enculturated (socialized) in the U.S.? What are the key roles they are assigned? How does she argue for alternative expressions of gendered identity? Again, support your discussion with specific examples.
What insights, if any, does Doyle provide into the way you have learned your own gendered identity? To what extent do her observations resonate (or not) with your own experience? If you don’t want to write about yourself, you might write anonymously about someone you know. Again, be sure to illustrate your reflection with a specific example.
