After careful analyzation of the both readings it’s evident that In some ways, it appears like we haven’t made much progress. Women continue to fight for sovereignty over their bodies and reproductive systems, and we continue to have to explain consent to a significant portion of the population. Even though I know it’s harmful for my mental health, I find it tough to disengage from this ‘battle.’ Because it feels like my lived experiences are under attack, and my acts and inactions are considered to be part of the discourse regardless, the struggle is such an integral part. The characters’ relationships with their identities, as well as their interactions with society, are intertwined with human emotions such as love, caring, abandonment, and loneliness. Conversations tend to get tense and defensive when it comes to tackling those personal politics and examining the power conflicts that they elicit.

In Summation, there is gender imbalance in the amount of housework done by men and women. Even when they work outside the home, women do far more housework than men. Although some studies demonstrate that men now do more housework than they used to, recent data suggests that men are just exaggerating the quantity of housework they now do by responding to questions about their housework in socially desirable ways. 

Although women have made significant progress in politics in the United States, they still trail men in terms of the number of legislative seats they hold. This percentage is larger in the US than in many other countries, but lower than in many European and other countries. After watching the films and reading the articles on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, my dissatisfaction with laws all across the world has grown. Many factors contribute to worker mistreatment around the world, and much of it is due to corporate avarice. Companies with billion-dollar profits are unwilling to give their employees a decent salary or offer safe working conditions. Misogyny, classism, and racism, in my opinion, all play a role in the treatment of these workers.

Women’s liberation is elusive because we frequently forget what it means. The Macho Paradox, written by pioneering anti-violence educator Jackson Katz, contains the opinions and experiences of women and men who have tackled the subject from all angles, as well as talks of contemporary events in politics and pop culture. Or, to put it another way, we can’t remember something we’ve never had. As a result, one’s vision is stymied from the start. This international celebration, on the other hand, is powerful as a reminder of women’s battles. It’s also useful for men who sincerely respect women (and have overcome the caveman effect) to provide their own support, questions, and opinions on the meaning of womanhood and gender equality.

Stereotypes are generalized pictures of individuals within a culture. Gender stereotypes are preconceived notions in which men and women are assigned qualities and roles that are determined and constrained by their gender.

Gender stereotypes frequently take one of two forms. One expects that all members of a category (such as a profession) share the same gender, such as all business directors are males and all secretaries are women. The other is presuming that all members of a gender share a trait, such as believing that all women enjoy shopping or that “boys don’t weep.” There is a clear message in Alok Vaid-book Menon’s “Beyond The Gender Binary” for all families, parents, and people in general to cease criticizing, bullying, demeaning, and discriminating against non-binary persons. Folks should think that these people exist in the real world. The distinction between them and other people is that they have different feelings. That does not make them nasty or insane; it is only their personal preference. Non-binary persons, according to Alok, have existed for many years, but many were too terrified to be authentic to themselves. It was difficult to comprehend that there are persons who are neither men nor women.

As each and every single one of us grow older, we encounter experiences that have the potential to influence our impact on life, in either good or positive ways because the initial point of view we have before others choose us coordinates how others judge and sum us up in any scenario. Society has “stereotypes or privileges” of people who, for them, belong to the social circle and are considered by whites, who are unaware of how society includes Latinos, given that many of them perceive them as foreigners. Because privilege is the inverse of oppression, it is difficult to recognize our own. Some people are opposed to discussing privilege because they do not want to be depicted as aggressors or participating in a system that benefits them at the expense of others. Other detractors of the term “privilege” misinterpret it as a catch-all phrase that implies that if you have a privilege, your entire life has been easy.

At a slight glance, if you have more privileges than others, you must know how to understand that we all have the same rights since we are human beings, and it does not depend on your identification, but on your personality. Furthermore, such privilege just imposes power and was constructed by society to divide people based on social rank. I believe that we have many various kinds of privileges, not just the privilege of gender, sex, or ability, which influences how people progress in the world or are discriminated against.

There has been many different times When some people wanted others to be obedient, they played the nature card throughout history. Life is difficult for poor people, and this is natural. They accept it as it is. This categorization and privilege enjoyed by the upper castes was also presented as something god-given and natural to the individuals at the bottom of the caste system. At one time, some people believed that people with blue eyes and blond hair were a superior race, destined to control the world. Gender disparity operates in a similar manner. For millennia, men in patriarchal communities and systems have claimed that women are inferior to them. By definition to be exact. As Audre Lorde’s experience with oppression described in “There Is No Hierarchy of Oppressions”. She faces oppression because she is Black, a woman, and lesbian. Rather than only being judged by her outyerself (skin color, hair), she began feeling as though who she was as a person may have been questionable due to societies interpretation.

The fact behind this is that some individuals simply want to maintain their power, so they create these convenient dichotomies. It has nothing to do with nature. All of this is made up, socially manufactured, easily practiced, and maintained. Every day, we are bombarded with these structures. When really its up to us to change these structures so that quality can me forefront.

Once completing this beautiful book written by Wendy Syfret, She dives straight into what looking like change and creating it, and how they are two very different things. Making sure to distinguish the two in case of a topic needing an actual call of justice/rights. With incredibly encouraging methods on how to make realistic and significant change, all put in an easy-to-understand and visually appealing form. I can say that before reading this book by Syfret I thought that what I was doing, for example in terms of standing up for black woman rights was being an activism progressing individual. But after reading her own thoughts on what she feels activism may really look like, there may be a lot more ways that I can put what I’m really fighting for to a greater change in what may be less time if I truly want that change to occur.

As a young adult in such an uncertain world as well as these uncertain times, it gave me hope while also emphasizing injustices both past and current. Hopes that one day the change that we all may be fighting for as indisuiuals or in groups would eventually come about, yet still understanding that this change may not be easy but worth the process. I also learned a lot about earlier groups that have made a significant contribution to the ongoing process of equality. Another significant act of activism surrounding ourselves with others who share the same insight on a change that needs to happen is all the encouragement we may need to be successful in those areas.
I would recommend it in ways if only to offer you a different perspective on your daily life and to promote inquiry into how you can recognize injustice in your personal community.
