Gender bender

From the very beginning of The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison two points of view are established. The first is Claudia Macteer a strong willed girl with a mature world view. She tells of life as a young strong black girl while the other narrator tells of many. The seconds narrator is an omniscient third person who tells of the racism in the South. It tells of the racism through the thoughts of all different types of people. From the racism of Cholly Breedlove to the troubled soul of Pecola. The…

industry are not willing to accept female director and with fear that they lose their power and discriminate women from many things to make them unqualified to be in the industry or categories them in such that make them feel ashamed for their own gender and ability. The problem that causes women to drop out of the industry is pregnancy or family, which many female directors would hide their pregnancies to continue their work with the fear that the news could be the end of their career. This…

The sixth thought is called “Kim Kardashian,” in which Dunham states, “I have no feminist issue with the Kardashians,” as well as “there’s no woman who I would denounce as unfeminist,” because she explains this would also be “unfeminist.” However, this is a utopic idea of what feminism is and what it should be, because it adheres to the gendered idea that women should be loving and welcoming, no matter the situation, which is ultimately counterproductive and not, feminist. Holding women…

The masculine technology was much more visible than the feminine technology and in its own ways trying to reach out to consumer especially boys. The consumer world has become diver in that the masculine technology are no longer have male consumer and increase in female consumer. For instance, the Fisher Body Craftsman, they intending to advertise to high school teenager and college undergraduate around age 12-20 featuring that usage will become a promised and mature man, who take on responsible…

Curley’s wife is characterized in a very interesting way. Someone is characterized by their actions, words and how the author shapes them as a person. No one knows her real name, nor is she designed to be a likeable character. She is the only woman living on the ranch and the men often called her names like “tart” or “tramp.” This is mostly due to the fact that she is pretty and knows it, wearing lots of makeup and over the top heels with ostrich feathers. She takes great pride in her…

This passage provides a pessimistic tone, as Mariam's mother tells her all women can do in their world is “endure” when at the hands of men. Nana, Mariam’s mother, sets the tone for all the book, as she claims that their is no good from being a girl, all it brings is hardship. Khaled Hosseini epitomizes his tone through the character Nana, as she herself has faced nothing but despair and disappointment throughout her life. She then has an epiphany, believing that her fate will be the same for…

enact these behavioral qualities according to how they identify. The term“doing gender” is defined as an individual adjusting their behavior in order to fulfill society’s expectations (Lorber). In order to fully understand this concept further, I looked at the specific behavioral gender differences that take place in a gym. The gym shows the societal beliefs of what male and female should be and encourages false gender differences which promote a limited workout experience for women.…

Dido’s complete “breakdown” when Aeneas leaves Carthage is perhaps the most memorable aspect of her character, which is fairly disturbing from a feminist perspective (and in general). Aeneas is scolded by the gods for wasting time in the city, and covertly prepares to leave; Dido somehow senses this, and begins to “[rave] and run wild,” to the point where Vergil describes her, in one translation, as “devoid of soul.” (4.300-4.301) This section of the text can be viewed as an extended comparison…

Climatic scenes throughout the film also assist in emphasizing the way Spirited Away challenged traditional gender roles. Towards the end of the film Chihiro is no longer frightened by Yubaba’s outbursts or her obligation to rid the bath house of No Face without losing more workers. A juxtaposition is noted from her first meeting with No Face to her interactions with him towards the end of the film. Chihiro’s eyes are downcast because she embraces her meek and vulnerable personality because of…

Showing the hardworking women of WW2, painted in 1943, Evelyn Dunbar’s Baling Hay, an oil on canvas, shows grey and pale pink sky filling the top of the painting. On the left, two women wearing green shirts and brown pants stand atop piles of hay. In front of and in the middle, a woman wearing the same attire as the other two women holds a pitchfork holding a large bundle of hay. The woman with the pitchfork is shoveling hay into a large red machine which takes up the middle of the painting. On…
