In this chapter the title says it all...and this was a long chapter. So two words Separate & Connected
Separate Knowing: The women that were spoken about were those who graduated for traditional, elite, liberal arts colleges. These women know have critical thinking skills, or a game in which they called in the book “doubting game".
Issues that I do have with reading this chapter is one of them using "Tomboy “stated when a girl acted like a boy in early adolescence exhibited high intellectual competence in late adolescence...my thoughts what about a girl who played with dolls, did they not show competence either? I do understand the study, but I really don't care for it!
Separate Knowers, tough minded, nothing gets past them, they look for something wrong. So Doubting is one aspect of separate knowers...
Connect Knowing: to connect with others and understand their experiences. In connect knowing there is the "believing game". Really being able to listen to another person. Feeling of closeness rather than distance, getting to know a person and their thought process. Learn by just listening to the person who is talking.
This chapter was long and hard to get through with so much information about Separate and Connected. If I were to take a look at myself, I would have to say I am more of a Connected type, I was a tomboy when I was younger, however I do not find myself intellectual, could be in the future if I keep continuing my education, but not as we speak. I like to listen to others and learn from them.
