Analysis Of Sorry It's A Boy By Sarah Silverman

Great Essays
“Sorry, It’s a boy.” Such a phrase would have caused uproar, turmoil, and boycotts, but in the 21st century, it merely elicits a tenuous reaction of uproar. This phrase was utter by one of America 's foremost feminist, and in America’s biggest event, yet millions stood around and pass it as meaningless banter. Sarah Silverman 's intentions might not be explicitly suggesting the murder of men, but it is hard to ignore this double standard. While feminist have long argued that their cause is based on civil liberties and equality, the reality reflects that this is merely a facade to cover up their inner hatred. The myths spouted by them, their blatant hatred for men, and their deliberate disregard for scientific facts, as just some of the few reasons why feminist activist are not seen as a beacon of hope and change, but as a cult that uses deceptive tactics to lure in members, and destroy all those who can not be convinced.

This being is so mysterious that feminist have yet to find any evidence of its existence. Both men and women are given the same chances in society, and according to research, women are preferred above men when applying for a job purely based on their gender. If the patriarchy existed why are men the ones who are killed the most, who commit suicide the most, who lose their kids the most, and the ones that go to war the most. If men were the ones that created a system, why would men have to go through such hardships. Why are teenage boys the ones dying in war or being hit by their parents, this system many claim exist, if created by men, should make it so that men have all the advantages, but this is not true. Men perform higher risk jobs or suffer from more violence. Feminist claim that men have an advantage, but facts far oppose this

    The term “patriarchy” has been used to describe the social system of men holding the power and authority. Since the 1960s, feminist are working hard to spread the awareness of how patriarchy system related to the inequality treatment existing in both genders (Cranny, 2003). It is argued that different sectors in the world such as labour force, education, politics and more has been undergoing a domination of male, known as “hegemonic masculinity”.

    Andrea Cornwall’s article, “Boys and Men Must Be Included in the Conversation on Equality” discusses a serious social issue of males commonly being excluded from the quest for gender equality. Andrea Cornwall wades through the reasons behind why males may be vilified, drawing correlations where the male demographic has increasingly struggled, emphasizing that males don’t have it as good as one may think. Although her facts may be relatively true, there’s much more to the story, because unfortunately the dilemma has gotten far worse and males are met with hostility especially if they happen to have a certain skin tone. I’m not speaking of a resurfacing disdain for African-Americans, I’m referring to how “trendy” it is to hate “white people”.…

    Feminist theology views the Christian faith from a viewpoint of a commitment to justice for females. Two additional features are added onto Christian theology to make up feminist theology. One is the assumption that theology has not always been accurate due to ongoing sexism in the tradition. Social views such as patriarchy and androcentrism have put men before women and therefore failed to deliver justice to females. The second feature is a commitment to emphasize women’s experience while accomplishing tasks of theological reflection.…

    When someone says they are a feminist, people often think they hate men when in reality they do not. Many people who identify as a feminist do have anger and some hate towards men, however, that is not what true feminism stands for. Feminism is not about empowering women and putting men down, or turning a patriarchal society into a matriarchal one; it is about advocating for women’s rights to be equal to men. Even though it seems that a woman’s role in society has changed, it has not. In the 1960s when the women’s liberation movement began, the expectation was that a woman was a mother and took care of the home.…

    In any case, if a feminist believes that the true purpose of feminism is “to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression” (Davis, 225) then the path of feminism is clear and can gain momentum. But if a feminist is leaning towards the opposite end of the pendulum that believes in being anti-male and ‘power to women’, the movement will alienate both men and women…

By starting with what feminism is not, coming to an answer of what is feminism becomes much clearer.…

    Feminism is the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men (“Feminism”). Women have always struggled in the fight to gain equality with men, despite the many major advances; society still has a long way to go in addressing the issue of gender inequality. Women’s rights are somewhat a delicate and unsettled subject that society still continues to debate today. The belief that women simply because they are women are treated inequitably within a society as it is organized to prioritize the male viewpoints and concerns. Within a patriarchal society, women have always been placed on a lower status compared to men.…

    Patriarchy, like other social constructs, is an internal systematic oppression that has slowly evolved over the course of humanity and somehow managed to stick around. How the patriarchy came to be and why it is still in place are questions with indeterminate answers. However, many feminist works go on to challenge the patriarchy’s actuality by identifying certain characteristics of our society that may have contributed to the growth and dominance of the male gender. Although, so as to correct any personal convictions, it is important to recognize that a patriarchal culture can only exist given that the oppressed is accommodating.…

    There are several strands to feminism yet they all share a number of features. All feminists see society as being divided and based on exploitation – the exploitation of women by men. Haralambos and Halborn (2004) state that “…Feminists see the exploitation of women by men as the most important source of exploitation” in society. Many feminists characterize contemporary societies as patriarchal which means that all institutions in these societies are dominated by men and work to maintain the systematic and deliberate oppression of women. Feminists have argued that men have power in families, they tend to be employed in better and higher paid jobs than women, and they tend to monopolise positions of political power.…
