bell hooks Book

I remember in class much earlier this semester talking about male feminists and males who are allies to feminists. It seems like a lot of males who are feminist are viewed by other males as just trying to find a way to get girls. I found it interesting that many people think that way, and when I was at work at my job as a parking attendant, I was reading a part about this very topic in the book by bell hooks.

A man pulled up to my booth and saw what I was reading. He said "Ohh reading about feminism huh? Bet there are a lot of good looking girls in that class!" It was funny because I was just reading about this like 5 minutes earlier. After that he said "Well you can't let them know the real reason you took the class, you know, play it cool." And then he drove away, and I was thinking to myself how he just assumed I took the class to pick up girls and never thought about the fact that I might be interested in the subject. I just found it to be an amusing visual aid to what we were talking about in class and what was mentioned in the bell hooks book.
