blog post#3 Gender Identity





The nightclubs in downtown of the State College usually open at around nine and late until midnight two o’clock. The club is dark enclosed space where men and women mingle, dance and party at night. Most of them would encounters leading to sexual behaviors during the same night. The club is usually crowded, sweaty and very annoying. Music is played very loud through the whole night.
The music in nightclubs is commonly a mix of songs played by a DJ through a powerful PA system. There are many genres of music in the nightclub; the most popular are hip hop, techno, house and trance. Many nightclubs in State college are allowed people to enter based on the age. There are different themes in each day of the week.
There is one night of the week (usually Tuesday or Wednesday) allowing students who are above 18 and under 21 to enter the nightclubs, but they are not allowed to drink alcohol. The students who are underage usually pay more money than the students who are over 21. Before you enter you need to show your ID or license to the doormen, they need to look at your ID to make sure you are 18 or above and compare you and your picture. The students who are under 21 and those who are 21 are separated in two places in the club; there is a metal fence in between. Students who are under 21 are marked by a permanent neon color marker, which can identified they are under 21, and they are not allow to drink alcohol and party only.
Gender identity is what people think they are, and how a person feels inside about them. It generally described as one's private sense of being a man or a woman. A lot of students in State College are considering themselves as the gender they are belonging to and they are comfortable with their gender. For example, a girl who was born with a female genital organ, they are more likely to wear clothes that is suitable for girls and portrait the girls’ behavior. Girls in the campus usually wear nice clothes when they go classes, they would wear makeup and make sure their hair is perfect. It can show they are feminine.
So in the nightclub, ladies usually keep their clothing short, sweet and slinky. College young girls are very sexy if they go to night club, they wear skirts, strapless dress, tube dress, which can show their perfect curve shaped body, and their sexy long legs. Micro mini-skirts are the top choice worn by many girls when they go clubbing. College girls are usually tall and slim with average sized breasts. Even though they are tall, they still wear a pair of platform pump or wedged pump to make them taller, which have more confident.
The most important point is when girls go to club; it took them approximately two to three hours to get ready. They need to put on make-ups, do their hair curly, wave or straighten their hair. They need to choose what to wear, and what kind of accessories fit their clothing. However, it is very easy for men; they usually put on casual clothes, not fancy, not formal suits, and wear some perfume, then they are ready to get out.  Girls in the clubs would be happy if they get the men’s attention on them, everyone is eyeing her with admiration. So it is one of the reasons it took long for girls to get everything done and go out. They need to look nice, perfect and sexy.
