Discussion 7

IMANE CHAABA

These past few last weeks have been so informal and very interesting in this class. Personally, I learned a lot about feminism, activism, oppression, and women’s history. The subjects that I used to find very sensitive to read or talk about, now I feel more educated and excited about knowing more and more. This week’s reading was very important as we get to see the behind scenes of the pornography industry and look at all the pain our young girls have been through. In such a male domination society where males are objectifying women’s bodies, these women have nothing but a body to play with. Women have been used as sex objects to build a billion-dollar industry. Not only that but men are also forced to act aggressively towards women which impacts their behavior towards women in public. We don’t see enough women in colleges, workplaces,s or even hospitals because how people think that women don’t belong to such industries and they are too weak and stupid to have nice jobs. I think after all these readings of this week and the past weeks, I am more concerned and worried about my image as a woman, and I will definitely speak up for myself or any other woman If I have to.

    Hello Imane. We are in the same place because after learn and have more clear the means of opression, White privilege and feminism, I have a lot of question because is feeling like everything that I thought was right now is no because the people change the meaning of the concept of them and we are loss but is good to know women have a place in the society even though some man have a contra opinions.

    Hello, I definitely agree with your statement. I would like to add that a lot of the time many women aren’t paid as well as their male counterparts in the porn industry. They’re also sexually abused at times. For instance, Mia Khalifa spoke out about this and was still made of and a lot of people didn’t take her seriously simply because she was in porn.

    Hi Imane!
    Something that I’m glad i learned from all the topics you listed are more simple definitions. Before this course I felt like I knew what these all meant and how to explain their purpose but I didn’t know how to form the right words. Now I feel confident in what I’ve learned alongside all of you. I also agree with your entire post!
