If I’m being honest going on to this I just thought feminism meant just women wanted equality within having the same advantages and ways as men. This article has made me think differently about that. I personally am not very feminist even though I do believe we should all be treated equally and with respect. I wanted to learn more about how to be more feminist and more true to myself as a woman and female freedom because of what is happening with places making abortion legal how crazy is that I honestly was hurt because who wants to be taken the rights of they’re own body none ins this world should be taken that right. But that is what I thought this meant when using the word feminism but reading these two articles. In “Feminist Politics Where we stand” Reveals that I too wasn’t the only one who thought the word feminism was just that meaning but we as young adults can be misinformed as how this article literally stated that feminism is misunderstood and it’s not right because we are distancing ourselves from what really is the problem and moreover misleading others like myself not really knowing the true meaning feminism. Reading “Sex and Gender 101” at first I thought gender identity was only assigned at birth based on chromosomes and genitals, however, I learned that cultural changes and education can lead to people having a change in their sexual identity also what they feel and know what they are at such a young age. When I was younger I thought like this but I am learning more and more how we are all different and feel different and are unique In our own different ways gender is just a label but it’s us who decides what we wanna be at the end of the day and I just feel so informed and am learning more about feminism and gender coming into this class. Feminism now I understand more not only from the article “Sex and Gender 101” but also from the article “FEMINISM POLITICS Where We Stand” because it talks about how in order to understand feminism we also have to understand sexism and how this plays with our freedom and right within history and the future as us being young adults learning about how to express ourselves and what we believe is right within being feminist and women.
