Response To Dave's Argument Essay

Improved Essays
Dave I am not normally one to post a comment to someone in response to something they've shared that I don't agree with but I am going to now,.. This response bears nothing on our friendship or a stab at your opinions. But let me start off by saying that this is an unfair and opinionated article. It's basically a woman degrading other women and putting them into a one fits all category because we didn't march or support it. I am one of those women who posted the shared status, I am one of the women she belittled in her blog post. "And you sit on your pedestal, a pedestal you are fortunate enough to have, and type. A keyboard warrior. A fighter for complacency. An acceptor of what you were given. A denier of facts. Wrapped up in your delusion …show more content…
What brand bag you have still matters more than your college degree." If "FEMINIST" are tired of being looked at this way then maybe we should stop supporting the women in the public eye who use their sexuality to sell their brands, music, movies, etc. If women are sooooo upset with the treatment then maybe women should stop sexualizing their bodies to make money. People should be boycotting Victoria's Secret, Rihanna, 50 Shade's of Gray, Magic Mike, etc.... Thirdly, "You hate the word pussy. Unless of course you use it to call a man who isn’t up to your standard of manhood. You know the type of man that “allows” “his” woman to do whatever she damn well pleases." Pretty sure there were some pretty vulgar posters from the women who marched. So Yes; I don't support this march, I don't support women who will march and complain but still contribute to the funding of those who "oppress" us women. Why are we not boycotting companies, and artists who continuously use adds that sexualize women to sell their products, why do we allow our daughters to shop at Pink or Victoria's Secret? Why do fast food restaurants thinks its appropriate to use a half naked woman with big breasts to sell a

    I agree with Krakauer that Christopher McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with people easily, but he did seem some-what incompetent, even though he managed to survive for over one hundred days in the wild.

Several decisions, conversations, logical thinking, and thrill of excitement prove the sincere down to earth person people know as Christopher McCandless.…

    In Jon Krakauer’s Into The Wild, Christopher McCandless, prior to embarking in his Alaskan Odyssey, writes a letter to his aged friend, Ron Franz, stating his stance on human relationships: “You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships … you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this kind of light into your life.” (57) McCandless further explains that the dependence on others to be happy is unnecessary, as one can be perfectly content on his own, once he finds beauty in nature and life experiences. I partially agree with this argument, as I value the balance between self-reliance and human relationships; By spending time alone, I become more appreciative of time spent with others. Last summer,…

    With the recent #metoo movement empowering women from all over to come out and share their stories of how they have been disrespected and treated so horribly and the Women’s March this past weekend I began thinking about feminism again. To be specific, feminism and men. These past few of years have been awesome ones for women and awesome for feminism. It is unfortunate that it requires such negative situations to finally allow women to be heard, but at least they are finally being heard loud and clear. With all this women empowerment though I believe some forget that not all men are the same, that not all of us are disgraces like those who caused the #metoo movement.…

    Over the years women have been seen as a man’s property. A man has always known that his perceived natural rights entail a wife, her body, children, and a job. Essentially a twisted form of the American Dream right, but what if the clock is sped up to when women start gaining the confidence to fight for their rights? History has witnessed women gaining the right to vote, the ability to work alongside men, and to have their own house without a husband. For the next century women slowly gained recognition along with rights until the controversy over the funding of Planned Parenthood arose.…

    Since my junior year of high school I have gladly proclaimed myself as a feminist in the simplest of terms. When pressed on the issue I would stand my ground and proclaim that society was inherently misogynistic and women have to work twice as hard to get only a fraction of what a male earns. When the guys asked “why do feminists burn their bras?” I would scoff at them and explain how not all feminists believe in those ideals. Feminism, to me, was just the basic equality of gender.…

    Feminism can be a peculiar word, plenty of people tend to misinterpret the word when it is used and a lot of people, mostly men, tend to get defensive when the word is mentioned and they have their reasons. Unfortunately, we live in a world where women get treated very differently than men. Throughout the history women have struggled against gender discrimination in all aspects of life, whether it is economically, politically, or socially. Equality with men is what the women always want/wanted but, it was always extremely difficult to achieve for women, that’s why a lot of women dedicated their lives to help one day achieve equality for all the women in the world.…

    Anyone who is living in the 21st century has heard of the movements of gender equality and feminism. This topic of interest has been around for awhile, and is making a huge comeback. When thinking about gender discrimination, our minds naturally assume that women are the ones being discriminated against. That assumption is wrong, men and women are equally stereotyped into roles of masculinity vs. femininity. In order to fight for gender equality, we have to understand what gender equality is, and why feminism isn 't just for women.…
