Feminist film theory

The feminist theory that I’ll be discussing is the feminist institutional theory. According to Ritzer and Stepnisky, the theory states “that gender differences result from the different roles that women and men play within various institutional settings (Ritzer & Stepnisky, 2013). A major difference between men and women is the sexual division of labor in the family and how they are socialized as children and adults. This division of labor between the sexes links women to their roles as mothers,…

Although the internet has played a significant role in the feminist movement, personally I do not believe we are in a fourth wave of feminism. The utilization of the internet during the feminist movement is enough to emphasize the Third Wave of feminism but not enough to transition society from it into a new wave. During the Third Wave of Feminism, feminists have encouraged acceptance of people regardless of their gender and race as well as encouraged the participation to end the objectification…

The other day I had a conversation with my girlfriend in which it was brought to my attention something that I was ignorant about. She made me realize how dehumanizing and offensive the video to the song “Animals” by Maroon 5 was. “That video is really offensive; it dehumanizes women,” my girlfriend said. That conversation I had with her left me thinking about it, so I decided to watch the video. The video starts at a butcher shop with an attractive woman walking in to buy meat. The butcher is…

The main goal of Christina Hughes' Key Concepts in Feminist Theory and Research is to present a "conceptual literacy" for social science students. Hughes' differential studies of equality, choice, difference, time and experience, which are some of the most crucial concepts in feminist theory. However, the author not only supplies an overview of the enormous amount of literature on feminist ideology, but also presents complex theories and stresses the significance of deconstruction in social…

I. Introduction A. Now, feminism is a very important issue that commendably changes the lives of girls everywhere. However, I do not call myself a feminist because, in this technology driven age, Buzzfeed represents feminism. I can’t physically throw up in my mouth, but… B. I have a vested interest in making feminism work. I have impartially judged whether or not I would like to take part in the feminism movement and have done a lot of outside research on what feminism is. So I have…

Street artist Shepard Fairey designed the “We the People” artwork for the 2017 Women’s March. In addition, the artwork above symbolizes a Latina, a Muslim, and an African-American. Since Fairey felt as if these were the assemblage President Donald Trump has targeted the greatest and they were vulnerable considering Trump and his administration would neglect them. In fact, “We the People” comes from the US Constitution and is a reminder to the people that the phrase stands for every individual in…

The context of this passage was based on a definition the author had offered more than ten years prior to writing the passage. The author begins by clearly defining her thoughts on what the definition for feminism should be as well as how throughout history, especially in the early forms of feminism, her definition has not been fully met. She address the issue that while reformist, revolutionary and lifestyle feminism clearly have aspects that contribute to the movement, there must be a…

Pop artist Meghan Trainor recently released a song entitled “NO”, which can be interpreted as empowering women against sexual harassment. However, due to its unconventional mode of delivery, many do not understand the message of the song, and if they do, they do not take it seriously. No matter the medium, the way information is presented is vital to the way it is received by its audience. Had the message of Trainor’s song been presented in a different manner, such as in the form of an article,…

The feminist theory is always adapting to new cultures and always changing. What stems from the feminist theory is feminist literary criticism “feminist criticism examines the ways in which literature (and other cultural productions) reinforces or undermines the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women” (Critical Theory Today, 4 Feminist Criticism, pg. 79 Tyson, Louis). This theory shows us how patriarchal our society is and that’s how Susan Glaspell’s shows her work in…
