Bell Hooks analyzes the misunderstanding of feminism in the short story “Feminist Politics: Where We Stand.” According to Bell Hooks, the patriarchy of America causes feminism to be misunderstood since the media portrays feminism as an anti-male movement. Feminism, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of anti-male organizations. Feminism is defined by the equality of men and women. Feminism was born out of women’s dissatisfaction with the patriarchy, which is ruled by men. Women and men should be equal whether it’s at work or home both should be treated the same. Many individuals have this misconception, which is why it’s critical to educate others about the actuality of feminism. In the article it states ” We can share the simple yet powerful message that feminism is a movement to end sexist oppression.” I believe people shouldn’t be Bias against women based on their sex or gender. This type of behavior establishes boundaries between what men and boys may and should do, as well as what women and girls can and should do which is not what feminism is. Feminists despised the sexism commonly associated with men. The majority, on the other hand, dismissed anti-male emotions once they realized that women can hold sexist views as well. When women treat one another in a sexist manner, they are simply adding to the oppressive environment that prevails in our society. Women should encourage one another and utilize competition as an incentive to attain achievement.
Sex And Gender 101
After reading Sex and Gender 101 I have a more clear understanding on the differences of a persons gender and sex. I really enjoyed reading this article because a lot of people aren’t educated on this topic and get mislead on the definition of what sex and gender really is. In the article it states that “Upon assigning a gender, children are then socialized according to the gender roles of the culture they were born into”. Which is true because some kids are struggling with finding who they really are and most of them are scared because they don’t want to be judge. I really enjoyed both of these articles learned the difference between the sex and gender of a person and also the real definition of feminism.
Hi Dariany, I agree with Women should encourage one another and utilize competition as an incentive to attain achievement because we have each other to support and stay united as a whole. For me reading Sex and Gender made me realize that identifying someone by their person’s genitals. We use the pronouns that they chose.
Hi Dariany,
I completely agree with what you’ve written in the post, especially the part about women having each other’s back. I feel like most of us at some point have made sexist remarks or thought sexist thoughts simply because we have been ingrained with these ideas. Unlearning societal beliefs we’ve been raised with is a difficult thing but I think we can all do it if we strive to be better and more conscious about how we react to things.
Thanks for using headings – it makes it easier to follow!
Hello variety, when I heard about this word, I also thought it was a movement against men. Still, now, with more profound research, I know more about us receiving equal treatment and similar job opportunities. It’s about us having the same right and remedies as men, and I’m glad that we live in an era where we have more chances than the women In the past.
