I would like to talk to you about the two readings this week, the first being ‘Feminist Politics: Where We Stand’ by bell hooks and ‘Sex & Gender 101 by Kyl Meyers’. From the first reading, I was seriously surprised by the fact that when they fought for women’s rights, only white women did it and that after a long time black women have joined this movement. In addition, there is also the fact that at that time the man was only looking for a way to have more power than any woman for which they treated her as if she were not something of value. I remember, in my world studies class, we were talking about John Locke and how he talks about natural rights ‘For man’. This always made me curious, because in a certain way, why did he emphasize men? In his time I thought that it was just a way of saying and that rights were for anyone regardless of gender. Until my teacher explained everything completely and made us see how toxic the mentality of men was at that time, and how they only cared about themselves and not the women there. Meanwhile, in the second reading we have ‘Sex and Gender’, in which he explains what Biological sex is (which is the gender that is assigned to us as soon as we are born, in which it is divided into three, female, male and intersex, showing us the different numbers of chromosomes and the differences that exist between the X and Y chromosome), the gender (which is already a little more advanced, since this is where it is applied when the baby grows and begins to think what gender it really feels like) , and finally the sexual orientation (which focuses more on what attracts the person, and how this also develops as the baby grows). I can say, the importance that exists between ‘Sex and Gender’, since coming as I grew up I could see how around me I was not taught this topic in a good way. I remember, that just as it says in the text, they always said about how there are only two genders and how the male must like one thing, and the female must like the other. I remember I had a friend, he always played barbies with me and loved the color pink. This child suffered at school for that simple fact, and it is something that made me helpless since he could not make others see reason. What bothers me a lot is how people at that time could not understand, and how many people could go through the same thing without being understood until now. Tastes are tastes and in the end what you want and how you feel will always prevail.
