Regarding the essay from Bell Hooks “Feminism Politics Where We Stand.” “a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression.”   Well, feminism to me means more than I have ever thought, thanks to this reading I can understand it a little more. It is to understand sexism and erase sexism from the world. before I read reading, I thought that feminism meant a movement for women who were superior to men and that women were against men for everything. I was wrong. The definition was nothing compared to what I thought. I let others dictate to me what feminism was and I did not take the time or energy to understand it for myself. But I realized that in this life there are going to be people who will always try to get one to believe what they want you to believe. I was always told the feminism women are all against men, because they want to be liberated against the men that hurt them or beat their wives, like in some countries where the men are superior.  

Sex and Gender 101. I never really put too much mind into the sex and gender topic. See I am a parent of three yes, they are older now. I have 2 males and 1 female, and I brought them up all the same. Tough but soft, caring, and gentlemen and my daughter the same way but with a little toughness so she would not be so sensitive. I even let them choose what toys they wanted to play with, that for me was just educating them never crossed my mind of oh my no girl toys for my boys or no car toys for my daughter. I agree with the parents who want to raise their kids as they please. When children are born, they are who they are. Why is society so into everyone else’s business? Before this article I did not understand all the breakdowns of the meanings regarding Gender assignment. Gender identity, how a person thinks about themselves regarding gender I knew this one already. Gender expressions, how a person shows their gender identity, which is clothing, make-up hairstyles walking or dancing etc.
