Are we all Miss Gipsons?

At first, I found the Frances Miriam Berry Whitcher piece a little boring while reading and struggled getting through it. However, when we started going over it in class, I noticed a lot of true-to-life situations that I found funny when I started looking at the text more critically. For example, with Miss Gipson talking herself down all of the time, I can see that happening with myself and with my female friends and family all the time. I was going out to eat for my best friend's birthday with a group of close friends and anytime anyone complimented me on my outfit, makeup, hair, etc, I would immediately respond with an, "are you sure this looks okay? I don't know..." or I would point out something like, "...but I don't think it matches perfectly," or, "No, your hair looks so much better, mine is so flat." The funny thing is, I remember the same night my friends and I complimenting a girl on how she looked and all she replied back to us saying she looked "cute" was, "I know," and we could not believe she would be so presumptuous. Although it seemed foolish reading about how petty everything seemed about all of the odd things women do, I admit to being guilty of it too. It's funny how women are in someway "expected" to act a certain way when receiving compliments, even though it seems so trivial always talking down accomplishments... could it really be any other way, though? I know this post has probably put any male to sleep, but hopefully some females in the class know what I'm talking about. I see it happening all over from myself, to my friends, to my mom putting her baking down.
