In what is to follow, this reaction paper will deconstruct and discuss the reading Feminist Framework Plus: Knitting Feminist Theories of Rape Etiology Into a Comprehensive Model, written by Beverly A. McPhail (2015). The foremost intention of McPhail’s work was to present a holistic feminist centered framework, which she believed would more accurately capture the reality and experience of rape. In doing so, the proposed framework would provide further insights for survivors, researchers,…

Do you want to become a feminist? Before you answer that inquiry, it is imperative that you first understand what that really entails. Any mention of feminism may bring about a groan of annoyance from some. The movement provides a great amount of controversy in this day and age, largely because its message is often misconstrued or altogether wrongly portrayed. Media sources tend to focus on the negative aspects of feminism without taking into consideration what beliefs and ideals it actually…

differentiation of feminist theories. Feminism was divided into “liberal, socialist and radical varieties.”(Barrett & Phillips 3) Liberal feminists emphasized on prejudice, discrimination, irrationality, basically the stereotypical gender aspect of it. Women are different from men. Unlike the sexist prejudicial view, socialist feminists focused ideally on the idea of exploitation of women.

ask is that the people in society that question the existence of feminism do; watch the Carl’s Jr. Super Bowl ’15 Commercial. If there is still confusion, then there you have it. That is why feminism in today’s society of America exists. To be a feminist is simply the act of believing in the political, economic and social equality of the sexes (dictionary.com). The Carl’s Jr Super Bowl ’15 Ad is a fifty-two second commercial of the nearly-naked American model and actress, Charlotte Mckinney.…

After women received their right to vote, women’s liberation movement was born.

was to communicate how Jennifer Lawrence is helping to promote the feminist movement by fighting back against stereotypes and using her movies and influence to show young girls they too have the power to be treated equally. I chose to help to write this part of the script because I know about Jennifer Lawrence the most due to the fact I have seen a few of her movies and heard about some of the ways she is promoting the feminist movement. As for the rest of my contributions, I enjoy creating…

types of feminists, but broadly speaking, feminism can be defined simply as a movement towards equality of the sexes and the elimination of subordination and inequalities women face, as a result of their gender (Beasley, 1999, p.27). As a result, there is no universally accepted definition of feminism, however, feminists all agree that international relations is exclusionary. From this point of view, this essay will focus on how, according to feminists, the discipline of…

the 1970s a women’s movement was created to try and liberate American women. The liberation of women meant equal rights to men. The movement was not lead by any specific person, instead by multiple women 's liberation groups, protestors, advocates, feminist theory groups, and other individuals dedicated to women and their freedom. For example, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and the NOW organization (National Organization for Women). There are people that believe the movement…

When we 're born, we begin life as a blank slate, but as we grow older, we 're conditioned by media and society. Within this American culture, we 've so quietly become nescient to the effects of normalization in media, and advertisements. The government has found ways to poison our culture, by tainting our media with such lethal evil. Though media has provided us with many positive gains, with this great gift comes a price. Even though media can be quite educational, I argue that media can be…

not altered, the shape and direction of Feminism, much to the ongoing dismay of many of its advocates. While the often-contentious discourse around these “two leading currents of our time” (17) did not begin with the debate that ultimately became Feminist Contentions, this work highlights many of the issues critics and proponents have between them. What is Postmodernism to begin with? What can Feminism hope to glean from it? Does Postmodernism really advocate for an erasure of women’s identity…
