Gender and Oogling Butts [Video]

This video always gives students a few laughs, but also generates the space to talk about how men and women think about and understand looking at others' bodies.

In the video, a male prankster dresses in yoga pants and pretends to retrieve items from his trunk (of his car!!!).  In the yoga pants, his self proclaimed cute butt is perceived as feminine by most passers by.  The fun -and the talking points--come from observing the passer by reactions.  Many men are all too happy to look at the butt when they think it belongs to a women, but freak out when they realize that they have looked at man.  The male reactions can also be an interesting talking point for discussions of homophobia and violence.
