    This poem was written by a woman. From carefully reading it, I realized that the tone was different. It was more melancholic, and had every feeling detailed piece by piece, making it sound more feminine. The poet also represented herself in this poem, as if it were real. Also, right at the end, it mentioned that the person survived, and that they were the one writing this poem.…

    The terms gender and sex are socially constructed terms. The term sex defines persons by what reproductive organs they have whereas gender is a term that describes how the person thinks and behaves. These terms are socially constructed because neither of them are able to be umbrella definitions of what makes a man or a woman. In terms of sex the reproductive organ that a person has is not an apt identifier of whether that person is male or female because there are some men and women who do not have the organs that are typically identifiable in their sex. An example of this can be seen in the article entitled “What Makes A Woman…

    Oppression, according to Marilyn Frye (2000), may differ drastically from the way others perceive the word and its meaning. In order to determine whether or not women are oppressed in Marilyn Frye’s eyes we must first examine her interpretation of oppression to see whether women are truly oppressed. In Frye’s theory of oppression for a societal group to be oppressed there must be five levels or conditions to their oppression. The first being the presence of restrictions or rules, for a group to be oppressed there must be clear restrictions in place. These restrictions may not be necessarily straight forward, as we can see when Frye describes the ‘double bind’ situations.…

    In Rita M. Gross’s paper, “Is The Goddess a Feminist?” she wonders if goddesses (particularly the Hindu goddesses) can be interpreted as feminists. She argues that the answer to this depends on how we define feminism and who are the goddess’s followers are (pg.104). If the goddess’s followers are feminists than either the goddess will be seen as a feminist or will be tossed aside because she doesn’t live up to modern feminist ideals. And if the goddess’s followers are not feminists then the goddess wont be either.…

    The story appears to be simple. The major impact of the story, however, is generated by the interaction of the attitudes held by Julian and his mother. Their conflicting viewpoints are designed to highlight a conflict between generations, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, they provide a situation which O'Connor can use to make a comment on what she considers to be the proper basis for all human relationships, not just black and white relationships. In my opinion Elements of racism imposed in America and abroad create ongoing conflict due to discounting the contributions, worth and value of diverse humanity across the globe. It is a backwards approach to suggest that race is more important than character, talents, moral values, work ethic,…

    When Men Call Femi-Nazis

    Throughout history, women have fought for basic human rights for everyone and equality for all, but somehow, the name of feminism has been made into a more derogatory term that most other modern offensive words. Instead of being labeled a feminist being seen as a good thing in the eyes of women, some have sided with some men on the issue and determined that being labeled a feminist is an insult. While there are many more men and women that now are self-identified feminists, there seems to be more backlash and hatred for what some young men will call “femi-Nazis” because of their “hatred of men” and their intention to “switch the roles and make men the subservient ones” which is clearly not the intentions of the feminists. While the word feminism…
