Love Zack Snyder but why

When I read this :

I remembered a tweet from Marc Guggenheim from the day before :

I don’t know that Emily is indeed talking about Marc but I made this connection.

I hated that tweet the moment I read it.

« Reverse Sexism »? Really?

Is it the same as « Reverse Racism »?

I hate it when men can’t even aknowledge what the world is like for women. Men don’t know what sexism is just like as a white person I don’t know what racism is. But I know it exists and I know it is a bad thing, it’s an easy thing to say. So why can’t men like Marc say the same thing about sexism? Are you just so ignorant you don’t even know what felinism is?

So you can’t even imagine a world ruled by women without feeling threaten and call us sexists? Are you serious?

This dying world has been ruled by men for thousands of years and women are just now realising how powerful and strong they are. So be frightened Marc, women are waking up and they are not shutting their mouths!

David Ramsey supporting Emily and Melissa. ❤️

In a Facebook Live video on Monday, Amell said, “I have no interest in speaking about an ongoing investigation — but if you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m sure that you can figure it out — other than to say WB is conducting an investigation into what is being alleged against one of the producers on our show, and if they need my help in any way, shape or form, they will get it.” “I thought it was appropriate before I spoke to you, or before I spoke publicly, to speak with our cast and our crew, which I got the chance to do this morning,” Amell continued before referring to the statements of his Arrow-verse co-stars. “I certainly can’t pontificate in an eloquent or such a succinct manner like [Arrow‘s] Emily [Bett Rickards] did, like [Supergirl‘s] Melissa [Benoist] did, like [Legends of Tomorrow‘s] Caity Lotz did. I stand behind and fully support everything that they said.” Amell went on to show his support for the show’s crew, whom he called “our biggest asset.” “Their biggest strength and our biggest strength is working on it as a team,” he added. “I think we can do this because we promote and champion a safe and progressive work environment. I told them this morning, and I tell you now — and I meant it — that if anyone ever feels anything less than 100 percent safe, or anyone feels as though they aren’t allowed to express themselves and be the person that they are, that they should come to whomever they’re supposed to go to, and I’ll stand right beside them, right behind them. I’ll speak on their behalf, if need be.” Amell concluded his video by declaring that “in situations like this, if you’re not active part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem. Period. That’s it. We do our best to have the best possible work environment. We will continue to do so. Again, I echo the statements made by my friend and coworker Emily Bett Rickards, Caity Lotz, Melissa Benoist and the chorus of others that have come forward and called for a safe, progressive, equal working environment.”

Response to Kivel, “The Act-like-a-man box” from Men’s lives, and Donaldson, “What is Hegemonic Masculinity?”

The dominance of the male sex can be seen in all corners of the word and in mostly every aspect of daily human life. The social construct of gender has an extensive impact on every person on this planet and though the male gender is undoubtedly the dominant some men are even affected as well. Society places everyone between limits that they must not exceed and expectations that they must meet, and these limits and expectations are given based on what categories you fit into. Women, people of color and other groups that are perceived as “others” are all to these limits and surprisingly men are as well. No one is born trying to inflict their dominance on others, nobody knows who is dominant when you are born, it is taught to you. Men are trapped in this box just as other groups are, men are told to be manly and embody other characteristics that describe what a true man should be and this begins to shape them into people who use these traits to inflict their will upon others. Men who do not act like expected are men who are called gay and pussy’s when in reality there is nothing wrong with defying the expectations of society. This box of stereotypes and expectations effects everyone differently but effects everyone none the less.

Kimberle Crenshaw,"Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Gender"

The issues of sexism, racism and class are all issues in which are connected and co-exist with each other. All are the basis for forms of discrimination and all have led to groups seeking change, but even with this opposition these problems have yet to be resolved because of the lack of support between the groups being oppressed. Groups cannot begin to improve their standards if they do not take into consideration other problems of other groups. An African American woman is a women that would face more challenges because she is black and also a women, and this shows that a person can be oppressed for multiple reasons and for characteristics that do not fit the societal norm. One cannot begin to look for change concerning one issue without incorporating another issue in their criteria. A way in which he Feminist movement can bring about more change, not only for white woman, is to acknowledge and also challenge the racial issues facing black women along with the sexist issues. This will improve the female perception as a whole and also help the people fighting against racial injustice as well. Because these issues are connected, one cannot be fully solved unless other similar issues are given the same attention.

Bambara, "The Bridge Called My Back"

Women have endured many things throughout the history of civilization, but the feminist movement is something that is very unique. It is the popular belief that the feminist movement is unified and that it works in a cohesive manner, but that is simply not true because as shown in modern history, racism played a major role in the lives of woman of color. Within the feminist movement, women fighting for the same goal, distanced themselves from other women just because of there skin color and this did not allow for full unity in the group. Although they are of different shades they are woman all the same and this unfortunate action by other women in the group had a very negative impact on the progression of civil rights and on the feminist movement as a whole. This introduces the question of how can women fully fight for equality if other characteristics of the group members aren't fully accepted either.

Response to "The Feminine Mystique: The Problem Has No Name"

Woman throughout history have been confined to the "responsibilities" and the norms of being a woman. They have been expected to marry, reproduce, and care for both her child and her husband. This has restricted an entire sex from expanding and becoming more relevant in society concerning things other than household activities. Although woman are able to do most to all of what men can do they are not supported when they seek to pursue other interests. What a woman is expected to do is so normal in society that when a woman speaks this problem it often becomes confusing to the male listener because she explains what she does on a daily routine along with mostly every other woman and this does not seem to be a problem to him because it is nothing new. This unspoken issue will remain normal unless people accept that a woman is so much more than a mother or a wife, they are human beings just like men and can do much more than what society thinks.

de Beauvoir, “Introduction: Woman as other” from The Second Sex

What is a woman? A woman, as from a perspective of an eighteen year old man, is a human being no less than I am. This has not always been the popular belief between men and a society that was built upon masculinity, some can ask the question whether or not it has even become the popular belief. Men, since civilization began taking form have distanced themselves from their female counterparts and have in many ways treated them as “others”, which creates unfamiliarity between the two and breeds inequality. Men have been known to perceive woman as a means for pleasure and reproduction and nothing more. A woman is not a womb, a womb is just an organ that is included in the female anatomy. As related to other groups of “others” such as people with skin colors other than white, people of different religions and those of low classes all face many of the same challanges but the ways in which they overcome them are very different and some may be not as efficient in overcoming these obstacles. In an event like the Civil Rights movement the people fighting for change had a shared belief that they were a single essense and this allowed for change to come about. In an event that is similar in some ways, the fight for Woman Suffrage, also showed how unity for a specific issue can bring about results, but in this case and at this time they are not fully equal not solely because of the hatred of men that causes racial issues but because of their connection to men as a whole. Woman have yet to break the bond that breeds inequality between them and men because this bond is necessary for both sexes. Though it may not matter who is on the right side of the scale or who is the “other”, it is and will always be hard to keep both in the middle.

Response to Kolmar and Bartkowski, “Lexicon of Debates”

This reading explores the various factors of feminism and how feminism has grown and tackled one issue after another concerning the mistreatment of women. Women, throughout history have constantly been oppressed for what they lack compared to their male counterparts. This led to the creation of the concept of feminism in which goal is to make men and woman equal. Issues such as whether a woman should have the right choose what happens or doesn't happen to their body. Women are objected to judgment once they are born and this has been happening for centuries, their bodies are perceived as objects and in many cases property. Women’s work is also another factor that is extremely overlooked throughout the work field and this causes for a rift between male workers and female workers in forms of pay gaps and a lack of promotions for them as well.
