Seinfeld Said it Best

Seinfeld. When one thinks of life skills, people and relationship alike, usually we think of looking into other form of medias as our main resources. I guess that also includes Seinfeld into that mix. Seinfeld is an interesting sitcom as it portrays life in a lighter fashion, like many shows of this matter. Although what sets Seinfeld apart is not its subjectivity matter but it's time setting. It is one of the very first sitcom to talk about the things it did (homosexuality, sex, etc.) openly.
In one of the episodes it talks about meeting the "perfect man." Of course, in this episode we are introduce to the pseudo-macho type with the good looks, and wit. Oh and yeah, he's gay. Of course. The interesting aspect is the way they went about his homosexuality.

In particular to acting, Saussure said that "the meaning is the outcome not of the intentions of actors per se but of the language itself." Which makes sense because throughout the scenes with this certain situation he was never really called out as being gay but he did and said things that made it seem to the viewers as if he was really and truly gay. From little things like "playing for the other team", which are baseball analogies that are used to describe those who sway the other way, to reference about shopping and other things.

Bruising the Male Ego

Since the beginning of time it has been the set rule, even widely understood, that men are suppose to always, and I mean ALWAYS ask the girl out. It's just how it's done. Along with that, it's also the norm to let the man pay. Right? ehhh. Maybe.

As of late, a new trend has sprouted from seemingly out of nowhere. Women are asking men out. Women are paying for the bill. WHHHAAAT?! Call it female empowerment, or simply "them" taking matters into their own hands, but I for one am a proponent of this. It takes off the pressure. The pressure that says men should do all the work. SOooooo, I'm fine with that!
