I’m really happy these are the articles this week. I always appreciate a discussion on gender, and I’ve always been curious about the history of feminism. It’s really a shame that people choose to hold onto their perception of feminism, as it is almost always way off base. I found it really interesting how the different forms of feminism weren’t accepted by all feminists and that a lack of common understanding is one of the big reasons that people have a hard time getting behind it. It’s definitely true that institutionalized women’s studies are a big help in being able to truly talk about this without so much obstruction. It’s sad that when black women and other women of color would bring up the topic of race, it would get backlash. Unfortunately, that’s not too surprising, but I feel that we should go back and reflect on a lot of these things, to appropriately show our respect for the women who did just as much if not more than white women in contributing to feminism. It was also nice to learn that feminism would even tackle sexist characters and ideas in books. I feel like we still see things like this today in shows, podcasts, and many other forms of media. These are definitely things that we should critique as it’s still so present. Overall I really like the articles this week, I plan on saving them and revisiting them in the future!
