Activity 6, Matt Blank

I found no areas labeled as Gendered Spaces, in my neighborhood, but I did find a few unofficially gendered spaces.

Some spaces were accidentally gendered, specifically some businesses that cater to certain genders.

I actually found a very gendered space completely accidentally, although not in my neighborhood. I'm going to include it here because I found it very interesting.
A friend of mine's birthday was at a karaoke club in Brooklyn. We did not know that a gay football league was having a karaoke contest at the bar at the same time. We ended up having about 12 people and there were about 40 gay football players. It was a fantastic time, everyone was very nice and encouraging to us at least. They had a panel of judges and they rated the people in their contest on a scale of 1 - 5 while they rated other people 1 - 10. We all had a great time, and in fact one person with us got a standing ovation and an invitation to play some football!
