In Johnsons there is so much to unpack. Johnsons made me look at the model of our lives and really the patriarchy. As people we are stuck intros model of social life that as Johnsons says views everything as beginning and ending with individuals. Emphasis on the individuals. No one is asking the questions that should be asked and without them not only can we not even begin to understand gender but as Johnsons says we are now avoiding taking responsibility not only for ourselves but the patriarchy. This “system” that people are so quick to hate do not even seem to understand that it is more like a dump all ground with a mass amount of problems being lumped together. This system is not a real thing it is just words. They disappear as quickly as you speak them. I felt like Shavoya’s post really spoke to this. One cannot dismantle the patriarchy as so many claim without examining one’s own privilege. We not only need to examine our own privilege from a standpoint of who we are but our gender, religion, identity, etc. As the text gave the example from an  individualistic perspective people will ask why a particular man raped, harassed, or bear a particular woman. The question would not be how does a society promote this behavior through wife beating joke to violence in mainstream movies. For example I recently read an article on men and women in the Star Wars films. Although the newest films were supposed to be surrounding the female protagonist she actually had the least lines in the whole film. The article decided to solely focus on this fact rather than the industry as a whole. I like to think of it as taking a step back at a time. First step was is this a common trend in sci fi movies. Next step is this a common trend in movies. Next step is this a common trend in tv shows and movies. Next step how has Hollywood fostered this male dominated arena. Next step what has society done about it. With every question asked one is now expanding and thinking of 10 more until eventually you are furious at not just Hollywood but the “system”. Johnsons truly said it best in our patriarchal society we ignore and take for granted the privilege that we have which is to look over it, look away instead of asking how social systems produce social problems. Then turning to look at Haylee’s posts with the web I though spoke really to not only Johnson’s but Lorde’s. In Johnson’s we are caught in the web in the sense that we are trapped in this individualistic way that we are almost unable to step back and really make questions geared towards society. Then looking at Lorde’s as she said oppression and the intolerance of difference come in all shapes and sexes and colors and sexualities and to reach this true liberation and a workable future for our children there can be no hierarchies of oppression. We need to break free of the web and can do so by taking Johnson’s approach to steer away from the individualistic mindset. Lorde’s story made me think of other women who I have met who they feel they are either not enough or stick out of a group more than another. Personally I am half Latin half Italian. I am not Latin enough for the Latinx but I am too Latin for the white. I am also queer meaning in the Latinx community where this is not a really embraced idea yet I feel shunned.
