How do this week’s readings by Garza and Williams (and Anzaldua if you did the optional reading) expand your understanding of identity politics?

Identity politics is a significant aspect of the size of feminist groups, but it does not explain the importance of how it should be Updated. For example it needs to be updated because it needs to be shown that freedom is for everyone and that feminist groups aren’t here to try to be higher in the patriarchy it just stays how feminist groups want space for everybody, but identity politics started way before I was born and the core definition of identity politics was that it was based on a specific race gender Or social class for it to have a change in society, but I feel they shouldn’t be based on those things it should be based on wanting freedom for all, but in some ways, this movement has excellent stuff because it does seek for people who feel that they are less than or in other words oppressed to feel like they are apart of something that is going to change society but from my understanding it needs to go more in detail on WHO these oppressed people are But identity politics does help enforce change and Improvement in society when it comes to sex and gender and one of their common goals is to help people who feel that they have been discriminated or have not been given a  fAIR  Shots at life for example in the workplace. 

What topics would you like to explore as a class in the remaining weeks of the semester?

The topic I would like to explore and the remaining weeks of the semester is how abortion rights came to be. For example, I didn’t look into the whole case on abortion rights, so I would like to know how it went down. Also, I would like to take a deep dive into gender stereotypes because I feel like when it comes to men, women put stereotypes on men that if you as a man don’t fit those stereotypes, you are deemed feminine, which I feel that’s not the case.
