Pro-feminism

Pro-Choice Thoughts Bearing a child is a metamorphic decision that will affect you in every way and deciding on not continuing with the gravidity is life altering. This so called not continuing, or termination of, a pregnancy is called an abortion. Agreeing that women should have the right to choose to have an abortion is agreeing with pro-choice values. An abortion can be either intended or unintended; and, women who choose to have an intended abortion may have one for many reasons. These…

In the last years there have been several TV series that have succeeded in the media and that have produced a fan phenomenon and one of them is Game of Thrones. Since its launching in 2011, this drama has caught the attention of the public and has become part of the history of television, breaking records in audience, illegal downloads and sells all over the world. The question here is why this simple and vane fiction has attracted such an amount of audience that are willing to see what is going…

appears as a representation of a new female independance for women in the mid 1900’s, the films underlying message is actually no different from the messages of female oppression given since the previous decades. What appears on the surface to be a pro feminist movie actually hides traditional…

Rubbernecking: Skirts, Slacks, and Sneakers Taking a closer look into the discussion on gender inequality and dress codes I have come to find that there is not simply to use this debate does not have to be a black and white conversation and that I won 't let it be now I cannot prevent everyone 's views on this topic because there are so many shades of grey it would be near impossible to equally represent them all I 'll ever to make it feasible this paper will represent a couple of frequently…

Ideologies in the Mirror According to the political compass test we were assigned to take, I am a left libertarian; both my economic and social beliefs fell left of the scale. Given what I know about ideologies thus far, I 'm not surprised by these results. I 've often tended to side with more liberal sides of debates and have taken a few of these tests before in previous history classes. Whenever I do take tests like these, I often reflect back on why I hold the views that I do. Most of these…

Among the many accomplishments that were achieved during the three waves of feminism, many would argue that the most significant accomplishment was gaining reproductive rights, as it gave women the right to have full control over their bodies and, ultimately, their lives. Seeing how significant this right was and still is for women, it is a shame to see that in this day and age, low-income women have the very limited access to exercise this right that our previous feminists fought so tirelessly…

In my last paper I talked about the role of visual media, particularly photographs, in social movements. I wanted to stay along this theme of media, but a different subunit this time. Media as a whole interests me, from videos, to photographs, blogs etc. Books, though, are not often considered media. Upon inspection, however, in the past they have had as much effect, if not more, as other media forms. Mass marketed books have the ability to prompt critical thinking, by questioning norms and what…

The Exploration of Anti-Feminism in the Wife of Bath The Wife of Bath, one of the most distinguished works of Chaucer in the Canterbury Tales, has evoked discussions among the feminist critiques for centuries now. Some believe that the Wife of Bath was an anti-conformist who challenged the tradition and restored the old anti-feminist mind-set of the medieval times. Others question her contribution and modernization brought to women’s status. Undoubtedly, this tale has also impeached Chaucer’s…

wanting from the time the term first originated: equality. Feminism’s gotten a bad reputation lately. For many, even just the word itself conjures up images of radical ideology. Pop music star Taylor Swift has even recently asserted that while she is pro-equality, she won’t identify as a feminist. Others, such as Beyonce, are proud to…
