Reema Alata, Another Middle School Journalist answered \u201cI play pool at the great lakes mall\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A teacher April Kincaid at Unis Middle school assures \u201cI think it\u2019s fun just to waste time.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gina Lewis, a great Billiards player and a mother of 2 agreed, \u201c Pool is very fun. You can go on with that game for hours and hours.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Until very recently, Billiards has been a male-dominated sport. People in a room playing Billiards are very unwelcoming when it comes to a woman wanting to play Billiards. Honestly, women have been very good players at Billiards ever since it came out in the 15th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to reddit.com, on a list of 200 names signed up to play professional pool 2 of the people are women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How do Male and Female dominate things happen?

Then we buy girls dolls & boys trucks. More often in America, little girls are encouraged to dance & little boys are encouraged to compete in sports that are more physical. Society has been gendering things for the longest time and today you can see how it has affected us in the world. You can tell that paragraph from pooldawg.com when girls get older and by themselves to explore the world they find out things then when boys found out about and played when they were younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be, rather than recognizing how we are.\u201d – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Game that most of us know as pool or 8 ball, wasn’t always known as pool.
