Hello Classmate’s and Professor, this week I read a section of Sex and Gender by Klye Meyers. This was informative. Really breaking down Sex and Gender. The point that sex and gender are two different things are explained. Starting off with sex. According to the author Sex refers to anatomy and physiology. This includes sex chromosomes, sex hormones, sex organs, and external genitalia. Male, Female, and Intersex is the way we distinguish biological sex. Male has penis Female has vagina. Women have XX sex chromosomes; Men have Similar characteristics and features all around the world just not exact same the same goes for Females. Further on while reading Gender is brought up and explained. Gender refers to the social and cultural roles that males and females are expected to live up to base on their biological sex. Gender identity refers to how a person thinks about themselves in regard to gender. Sexual orientation talks about what a person is attracted too, explaining what it means to be straight, gay, bisexual & more. Some people confuse these things so it useful to write about this and inform readers about the difference of gender, sex & sexual orientation. 

         Chapter one of Feminism Politics: Where we stand by bell books basically explained What Feminism is what a feminist is, what they believe in and how it started. Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. No matter where you are from and no matter what color your skin is You can be a part of feminism. Sometimes when men hear about Feminism, they think that it is always and about women seeking to be equal to men. Sometimes it seems like Feminist hate men. The truth is there could be some that really hate men, but that’s not what their aim is. They really just want Gender Justice. I learned that there are many versions of feminism. Some push the wrong Agendas, some are involved in politics, some are in Groups doing a lot and some women support the idea of it in their everyday life individually. Feminist movement has lost its clear definitions in a way but if women / people just have a better understanding of why it started, oppression and injustice that women deal with will be slowly called out.  Solutions to certain problems will be thought off. I’ll admit it after reading this I learned what A feminist really is. Before reading this, I felt like it was a group of angry women who fight for certain things and hate men but after today I don’t look at them like angry women. I see them as Smart women who stand up for themselves and fight for justice.
