Liberal feminism

Feminism, and the idea of gender equality, clashes harshly with the cultural sense of traditionalism in both Grandma the Progressive and The Dancing Girl through male and female perspectives. Within these stories, traditional stigmas and unequivocal prejudice is placed on Thai woman causing conflict and a reevaluation of gender equality. Although humorous, Grandma the Progressive focuses on an aristocratic and traditional idol for the granddaughters to become. Grandma dwells on the past and uses…

with tension. Radical feminists tend to take up an anti-pornography stance, citing concerns of the representation of women, violent and sexist practices of the pornography industry and violence that correlates with the consumption of pornography. Liberal, sex-positive feminists have sought to reform the industry and assert that representations of sexuality are not only morally neutral but also allow women to explore their sexualities. Those in opposition to the censorship of pornography claim…

“Give me liberty or give me death,” a phrase by Patrick Henry, Former Governor of Virginia, spoken during his speech at the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. This very same phrase without a doubt, describes the passion and dynamic of a group of women who stopped at nothing to fight for American women’s right to vote. This phrase also used in the movie Iron Jawed Angels truly emulates the milestones lead women, such as Alice Paul women would take to end women’s suffrage. In the movie…

today, and all the men of Huxley’s novel fail to understand, is that liberal movements like that of the Black Lives Matter rallies, and the feminist movement as a whole, is that they’re not to say that no other groups matter, its more that, people are literally being killed for being black and theyre trying to stop that by bringing immense attention to the cause, not that black lives are the only ones that matter. Or even, that feminism is a movement for equality among genders, not trying to…

powerful position. In my interpretation, taking in to account the context and culture of biblical principles, both men and woman are valued and important to God, both with important tasks and abilities. With the integration of Biblical principles and feminism therapy, woman can fight oppression they have in our society and learn to get their dignity and strength and worth from God, knowing that to God women are equal with men. Jesus was commonly found among the woman and children showing them…

The personal is political is a phrase commonly associated with feminism and the women’s movement, in particular, a paper written by Carol Hanisch in 1969. The personal is political is a way of reminding women they are likely not alone in struggles they are facing, and the reason for these struggles can lie in the oppressiveness of society. Hanisch was just one of many activists who have fought for women’s rights and equality. In her paper, Hanisch (1969) states that information gathering…

inequality do not still exist. They feel if the discrimination is not happening to them, then it none of their concern. It shows how stereotypes, ideologies, sexism harm our society and affects everything and everyone. In the book “Full Frontal Feminism”, (Valenti, 2014, Chapter 3), they discuss all the contradictions our society tells girls. I agree with the author on how society wants us to be two things at the same time. It gives women an unrealistic vision to live up to. I feel as if…

For the final response paper, I will share what I learned about four specific criminological theories. These theories include critical/conflict, feminist, Biological/Biosocial, and life course. For each theory I will share how they each explain why crime might occur, while also sharing their strengths and weaknesses. To conclude this paper, I will chose one theory that I think best describes why crime occurs. To begin, I will first talk about the critical/conflict theory. This theory argues that…

shrug.” Feminism has become part of the popular discourse in Canada, and yet despite this, there are still many ways in which Canada has not changed in terms of becoming more gender equal since the beginning of the third-wave of feminism. The main issues that need to be addressed before we can achieve the ideal world that Mr. Trudeau is dreaming of, are gender inequality politically, culturally and in the workplace, all of which will be discussed in the following essay. Third-wave feminism…

Imagine one day, you as a woman decide you no longer desire being taken for granted in the workforce and go do better things in your life. Well, would you believe me if I told you they were women just like you, and they decided to tell their story. I had the opportunity to attend a screening for a film titled Dream Girl. This film is directed at all women of different ages, ethnic groups, and desired careers. If you are a woman who seeks to be better than what society has said of you, then this…
