This week’s reading, the third chapter from Ariel Levy’s piece “Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture” was a truly striking chapter. In it, Levy explores a wide-spread yet widely unexamined subset of females of today: the female chauvinist pigs. In order to explore the phenomena that is the female chauvinist pig Levy takes a look at several women of today and how these women live their lives and in particular, looking at how these women have succeeded or aim to succeed in…

Equality for All Ariel Levy analyzes a broad set of unexamined trends and ideas of the females of todays society, specifically the female chauvinist pigs. For Levy to analyze the female chauvinist pig she studied several women of todays society and how the women in her study went about their lives and in detail, looking at how the female chauvinist’s pigs have prevailed to the top of their lives and careers by adjusting their looks to essentially come off to todays society as a man captured…

The article “trial by twitter” written by Ariel Levy really interested me because of the topic it was on. Almost everybody in the twenty-second century is using social media and it plays a big part in most people's everyday life. People use it to share what they are doing or even just to communicate. It is a way for people to connect without there having to be in person interaction. This can sometimes be a good and even sometimes a bad thing. Social media can tribute both positive and negative…

(Stiglitz), “Hunger and Homelessness in America” (National Student…), “Inequality is real, it’s personal, it’s expensive, and it was created”, “Just Do What?,” (Victoria) and an audio clip “This is What Barely Making Ends Meet Sounds Like” (Edwards-Levy) all challenges wealthy politicians and CEO’s and their exploitation over the poor. One should question capitalism,…

“Preface”, an article that was written by Kenji Yoshino -which talks about the true self and false self- has brought to me a much better understanding of the effects stereotypes have on people and how they cope with them. As evidenced in Poisson, Levy, and Yoshino’s articles, working against gender norms can result in life changing costs, including criticism and rejection while at the same time causing for some people to cover and reject…

Our ‘striptease culture” is preoccupied with ‘self-revelation and exposure’ (mcNair 2002:81 in Attwood, 2010: xv); how does this impact on the way female bodies are represented in the public sphere? Discuss this question with reference to specific examples of 20 and 21st century women’s art. “Look at what a hot girl I am: in spite of my independence, my culture, my intelligence, all i care about is pleasing you.” Autor Virginie Despentes We live in a society where western women are expected…

overstated and conspicuous. Many women seem to assume that by getting implants and donning shirts embellished with the Playboy bunny or Porn Star, they are more empowered and thus walking symbols of women’s liberation. This message, as pointed out by Ariel Levy in her article “Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture”, gives the impression among women that this new raunch culture doesn’t mean that the advocacy of women’s rights has disappeared.

1. Naturalization can be defined as the process of making something seem natural. In the book “Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies”, Holmes states many examples of the naturalization of social inequality. One example is the language used to describe migrant workers. In the book, the Triqui were described as dirty and wild. They were described as dangerous people that didn’t belong here in the United States. The Triqui people were being disrespected but they didn’t do anything about it because they think…
