McIntosh essay was very interesting to me, and it got me thinking about how people were feeling that there wasn't enough representation of men in our class.  I realized I don't really pay attention to whether texts are written by men or women or which gender gets mentioned more in class.  I've noticed that most figures in politics are men, and I've gotten over it.  It doesn't really phase me anymore.  I'm wondering how much of a feminist I can be if I don't notice that I'm reading more texts by men then by women or vice versa.  How can I fight for women to be included more in classes, when I don't always notice their presence?
