kaitlyn Hernandez- reflection 1

Before even reading these two readings, I had a sort of an idea about sex, gender, and feminism. It wasn’t as deep as these readings. While thinking about what to write for the discussion question, I didn’t even know the minimum knowledge I now know from the reading. It made me think about many things that I let pass by me when I was younger. I never thought that it had a deeper meaning to it. I feel a little more education on this matter. I used to believe that all feminism where the same thing, but this reading taught me that there is more to feminism knowledge than everybody knows. For example, she stated, ” masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men.” this statement was the one that made me think about my knowledge and that I need to start thinking deeply about the meaning. Some women fight every day for what they believe in and want to make things right between women and what we deserve. When incidents like feminism and sexism happened to me, I used to think that it was okay for them to be joking or playing around. I come from a family that doesn’t let it bother them. As im getting older, im seeing how men treat the women in my family. This reading helped me figure out the meaning of feminism and know I will have the courage to start speaking to my family about this matter and what needs to be done.
