Genesis 1-2 begins with nothing and a male God speaks the land, ocean, and heaven into existence. “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear” (Genesis 164). In Christian culture, a man is of higher power than a woman. “And the Lord…

She was a woman that fought for her slave family and friends to no longer suffer from the life they had. A woman, who in that time period, it was historical to see a woman have this much courage. Sojourner Truth, the black woman who did it all, she escaped from slavery, fought for those who were not free, and fought for women who…

hear of a man being berated for his sexual escapades. What you do hear however, is thousands of people chastising the women said men slept with. When a man gets divorced, it is not seen as a big deal and he is not treated any differently because of it, contrary to how the woman is regarded afterwards. To many, she is now dirtied, and some are even denounced from their families. If a woman is raped, the first question many ask is “What was she wearing,” or “Was she drinking?” Somehow, the woman…

Today, the word “lesbian” is commonly used to describe women who are sexually, emotionally, and/or romantically involved with other women.

The add features a handsome barely clothed man lying across a dining table while seductively pouring Kraft Zesty dressing on a bowl of salad. I feel that there is a lot going on in this advertisement; obviously the man is being sexually objectified and his airbrushed abs are certainly sending a message about what an ideal man should look like. However, I feel that this add is mainly targeted towards women which is problematic in a few ways. First of all this ad is using rather hackneyed imagery…
