I first read about interpreting what you read. I do interpret whatever I read on my past experiences. They are what shape my thoughts and ideas. I grew up in a religious home, so when I started going out with my liberal girlfriend we clashed at times. I didn't see gay rights as something that should happen and she didn't know why I was so closed minded. After four years of being together, I have changed some of my thoughts. Seeing two girls or guys together doesn't bother me nearly as much as it did four years ago. She has opened my mind and my thoughts have changed. I have different experiences shaping my life today than I did four years ago, or when I was in elementary school or when I was born.
The other thing that struck me was about the Fixed, Subjective, and Textual Positions. The fixed was what stuck out in my mind. After doing my observations I realized I was looking at the situations with a male mind. Maybe I was harsh on some of my judgements having to do with femles because I am a guy. I don't feel as though they should be quite so soft, and they might feel as though I shouldn't be so firm. Who I am determines the way I see things and interpret them.
