Sociology Emotional Labour on Women Discussion

 

  1. “Stop Telling Women to Smile” (Links to an external site.)
  2. “Emotional Labour is a Heavier Burden for Some of Us” (Links to an external site.)

1)How is the street harassment mentioned in the “Stop Telling Women to Smile” video related to emotion work?  In other words, how are women expected to respond when told they “have a nice ass” or they need to “smile more?”

2) Why does Leah Cowan assert that emotional labor is a heavier burden for some people?  How do you think this affects how women see themselves? (from the second video)
