False Feminist Assumption Examples

Improved Essays
Every day I get guys that want to get my number wanting to chill and hang out because they either seen me in person or a picture of me. Out of the 7 guys that wanted to get my number 5 of them hit my phone up because they want more than a conversation. Being known as the girl from New York that is thick with no boyfriend guys have an assumption that I would like to mess with them. It’s sad that this society downgrades us females. The first false feminist assumption is in their crazy heads, they have concocted a fantasy land of oppression, where men are going out of their way to treat women like objects out of some sense of personal hatred or vendetta towards them or because they are scared of commitment. Women on twitter are belligerently chastised for appearance, weight and everything else that makes them into objects rather than intelligent human …show more content…
For example when I model at home my guy friends that never thought I was cute thinks that I am doing something now, just because of my appearance. A lot of females are not happy with their self because on T.V shows and videos they are showing these perfect looking girls the reason why girls get on social media and show off their ass. I feel that it needs to be a change we are being known as objects because we are turning our self’s into objects. Showing off our bodies on social media just to get likes and popularity is the reason why we are known as objects. Walking out the house with booty shorts crop tops is the reason why we are known as object. Maybe if we change the way our appearance is people wouldn’t think of us as objects. Ladies it’s all on you and what you have to step to the table. It’s your turn to show the real you and who you want to be because I’m not a sex toy, or a blow up doll, I am a young black smart educated women who don’t care about having the biggest butt and being out there with the crowd. Women it’s your time to not be an object and be

    “What if magazines showed pictures of real people? We would all of a sudden live in a world where girls would not have to starve themselves to see a certain number on the scale. We would live in a world where women wouldn't have to change themselves to meet society's expectations” (Khatri,“The Perception of Perfection”). People are so concentrated on being accepted by society, they do not realize the harm it is causing them. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look good, but wanting to look like everyone else takes away that person’s individuality.…

    I found Roxane Gay’s media criticism in Bad Feminist very compelling through her use of humor and pop culture to make powerful arguments about women’s representation in media. When contemplating my own research in feminist video game criticism, I found myself struggling with how I could emphasize the seriousness of harmful depictions of women in interactive media, when gaming is often viewed as a childish or “fluffy” topic. I found Gay’s breakdown of Fifty Shades of Grey in the chapter, “The Trouble with Prince Charming: or He Who Trespassed Against Us,” to balance the dichotomy of “serious” and “fluffy,” quite well. In this section, she analyzes the gendered narratives within the Fifty Shades series and constructs these narratives within fairy tale archetypes. This paragraph serves a close look at the trilogy’s Prince Charming, Christian Grey (page 199-200).…

    Society in America is being harmed rather than helped due to the extreme progression, advancements, and involvement in technology. Technology plays a large factor in the category of body image. One way that Americans are affected is when they see others on social media sites. They are dissatisfied with what they see because they reflect that upon themselves in a negative way.

    Consistently seeing memes or comments that criticize the way Black women look or act can produce depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Trying to fit into this mold of beauty is dangerous; young Black women begin to skin bleach to appear lighter, and begin to hate their natural hair in order to have straight “proper” hair. Some might even begin to eat less, start using “waist trainers” to minimize their waists, or in extreme cases undergo plastic surgery to model after the praised figures social media adores. The beauty standards that society has for Black women is irrational. Black women are told to be “Slim-Thick” which means “A girl with big/toned thighs, plump booty, normal sized hips and a flat/toned stomach” (Defining Anything).…

    The use of social media causes negative body image in women and can contribute to eating disorders. With 400 million users on Instagram, 316 million users on Twitter and 1.23 billion users on FaceBook, as of 2015, society has adapted to a world controlled and manipulated by social media (“Global Social Network by Users 2015”).

    However, a women’s view of body image could be changed. Adrienne Rich says in her book Of Women Born, Some contemporary theorists suggest that girls and women are increasingly able to ‘perform’ gender in a self-conscious manner. Accepting Judith Butler’s view that gender is to a great extent enacted or preformed, there is a possibility that, in the relative freedom of the postmodern world and armed with a postmodern consciousness, women will be able to variously accept, subvert or resist the normative enactment of the…

    Unlike number ten from All Diva Media’s ‘Top 10 Feminist Stereotypes’, I am not a man hater – in fact, I was the only girl allowed to play with the boys as I was related to their ‘leader’. When I was little, my cousin, who was a grade older than me, was sort of like the leader of the few boys we had our split class. I never realized that I was being treated differently from all the other girls in my class. My classmates seemed to simply accepted the fact that I was the only girl allowed to play with the boys – and it did not occur to me that I was the only one given that I played with the girls as well. However, one year (I think it was grade three) a new girl came to our class…
