Discussuion 9 and reflection 8

• What do you understand the liberated woman to be?
• How might the liberated woman be important for women’s liberation?
• How do these pieces show that “the personal is political”?

Liberated women want to be understood by what they do, by their how their everyday task looks like, by the struggles. Just imagine having to drop of your kids to school, go to work, pick the kids up, get home clean, and cook. Now repeating that schedule is not something men could do and I see it at my house. My mom does it all ever since I could remember, now that im much older I help out in the house and with my siblings. The message is not just for females but also for men, to show them that a women will multitask and still succeed, still make it through the day and keep going. Now these type of women also want to put it out there that yes they can multitask but it is not a responsibility to clean, men can do it as well because they have hands and feet. Cleaning and taking care of your kids does not make you less of a men but more responsible and make you appreciate women more.

Liberated women make females feel liberated by speaking for them, to the women who are afraid to speak up, for the women who want change, perhaps they just want to work and not clean. Once again women should not be seen a stay at home mom because tahts implying gender roles like back then and that’s what we want to change. Liberated women want to implement more jobs where females feel equal as a man, same respect.

The personal is political 

Its disappointing to say that some people believe that women should please a men. When ever a women does not have a orgasm men will quickly jump to think that frigidity is what causes it and are quick to make females seek psychiatric care. The politics of house work is on the tables as well because it is sick for a man to think that a women cannot get tired, that after a long day at work she still needs to take care of the house but not only that it is a demand to please your partner (men). No assumptions should be made about a women’s body or how they’re supposed to be in bed because then its terrible myths that make a small percent of women feel less, feel like robots.
