Competitive forensics influences the self-esteem and lives of participants, and the comments judges make to competitors on ballots is a large part of this influence. Judges need to constantly evaluate their own comments to see if encouraging and educational messages are being sent. Ballots from the 2004-2005 school year were reviewed for content that illustrates how judges' comments can reinforce the concepts of masculine hegemony and double-binds in our culture. A rhetorical analysis of the ballots revealed that the binds associated with masculine hegemony that were reinforced were the need for physical force and control and the need for heterosexuality. The double binds reinforced by comments on ballots were womb/brain, sameness/difference, and femininity/competence, as defined within this article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
