Reading Reflection 1 For Week 2 discussion

Reading gender sex 101 was very clarifying. It’s not that I didn’t understand gender and sex. It’s just that they gave the definition to the most common things we need to know. The idea that (gender is a construct, sexuality is fluid) slips through some people’s minds. I think growing up this is not something my health teachers Clarified. I’ve learned things like this on my own. In this article they made sure to clarify that for me. I think this article would be so useful to explain to kids in middle school, so they go into high school or become teens with a great understanding of Sex and Gender. Around the time of entering high school that’s where I recognized people’s differences and people coming out. It’s a good way to understand what’s going on once you read about sex and gender. 

Feminism Is for everybody by Bell Books taught me this most. Feminism Is a word I’ve heard so much over the years growing up. In high school the girls that hated boys, the group of women that wanted to make rule for women that didn’t benefit men were considered the feminist. After reading the article by Bell books. From the very beginning they explain that this is not the matter. They really just want Gender Justice. There are many versions of feminism and as time goes the idea of feminism is becoming unclear. In the reading they want this to be clarified. Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. I also understand the fact after reading this being a feminist doesn’t have to do with color, race, or age. Anyone can support the agenda, even a boy or man. The thing is to push the right message and not an agenda of hate.
