Alexandra Diodonet Reading reflection 1

I would like to share my thoughts about two readings, “Feminist Politics: Where we stand’ by Bell Hook & “Sex & Gender 101” by Kyl Meyers.’ From the essay from Bell Hooks what I didn’t know about was white women were the only group of ethnicities fighting for rights. After reading that I looked up women fighting for equality and although the picture was black and white, it seems that white women were the only protesting to stop sexism until black women decided to join to fight for not only African American rights, but women’s rights as well. As we fast forward through this decade I’ve seen all kinds of women fighting for equal rights not only white women. As of today, there are some people who still believe feminism is all about hating men but it’s all about fighting for rights and having the freedom everybody deserves. It is sad to know that to this day they’re still men out there that believe women shouldn’t work and they should be housewives, when I was on Youtube watching Daz games, he reacts to a guy who posts videos on Youtube targetting women and explaining why women should be banned from working. He involves adding stuff that the bible says and that men should only work. He begins to explain that they should grow up, get married, and be a housewife. I’m curious as to know why there are men that still think like this and is stuck in the time when men should be as powerful as a woman. Another article from “Sex & Gender” that I would like to share my thoughts about is that as I said earlier on my discussion board I have no idea what intersex means. What got me interested in reading Sex & Gender is The gender assignment where they’re labeled as masculine for males and feminine for females. I believe that there shouldn’t be labels assigned and people should feel how they feel whether they feel masculine or feminine.
