Yayoi's Boyish Behavior
Yayoi was born from an affair between a married man and a single woman.
The man after being abandoned by his wife had to take care of his two sons and Yayoi.
Neither her father nor step brothers cared about her, so she began to act as masculine as possible to be noticed by her family.
Because of her boyish behavior, Yayoi got molested at school, so to stop the bullies, she started taking judo classes. She began using her judo skills to defend herself, but stopped doing it due to a serious wound she made on a boy.
Years later she entered high school, masculine as always, but with a rather feminine body.
One day, a boy she liked invited her to a school party, where the guy got drunk and sexually abused Yayoi. Knowing her feelings towards him,

    Gender is defined as “organisms are classified on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions” (American Heritage Dictionary), nothing more than your reproductive organs. There are no cultural traits that go along with one’s gender, everything that you have been taught as to what a girl or boy may be, has been taught to you through social constructs. All of these constructs are taught during adolescence. “Saplings in the Storm” by Mary Pipher explores the young females and their challenges in their adolescent and teenage years. Essentially the girls lose all of their value during these years when they trade it for traditional female traits such as being idealistic and superficial.…

She knew that some women had been taken advantage of at previous parties, but she put that out of her mind, as she downed one drink after another. Just when things were getting dull, the coolest guy on campus took her by the hand, led her upstairs and talked her into having sex. The next day, Teresita noticed that her vagina was bruised and bleeding. She barely recalled having sex, but knew who was responsible for her condition, and filed rape charges against him with the campus administrator.…

    Gender Moments

    Education is a potent institution used to reinforce gender differences. In our reading we found that children are much more likely to separate themselves at school in gender categories than in their neighborhoods. As Barrie Thorne points out in her book Gender Play, "Apart from age, of all the social categories of the students, gender was the most formally, and informally, highlighted in the course of each school day" (pg 34). I feel that many experiences in elementary school have reinforced my gender outlook. I spent much of my time in elementary school racing the boys and biting my nails to show I wasn't scared to "break a nail" and never wearing a dress. Recess was a fight for me half the time. I didn't like the connotation of being called a "girl."…
