Why is it that all the things on the right cannot be attributed to women as well? We aim to meet deadlines and attain our goals as well. It is mind blowing that this is still what employers think.

Saw this video through twitter and it was just perfect.

Our Voices

I regret not standing up to say something at the Plenary today. I a lot of great points were brought up about the course as a whole. But, I wanted to say how this course gave me more than just confidence or knowledge. It gave me my voice back. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been told that I was to be “seen and not heard”, which continued all the way up until now. For the longest time, men and women alike, would tell me that my voice was not as important as the voices of the men around me. This course has taught me to care about what I have to say again. From the media to friends and family to the people we meet on the street, we are bombarded with this idea that our voice is not as important. This course taught me better. To love and respect my voice. And, more importantly, to use it.

Unequal pay

Its horrible how women are still paid less than men, and this asserts hegemony in men and allows men to feel powerful, making women feel inferior and lack empowerment

What It Means To Be Pretty     

After watching this video I started to tear up because I remember having those thoughts as I was growing up, and I still have them sometimes. But after being able to experience the ups and downs of Crushes  not liking me back and thinking that it was because I wasn’t pretty enough, and in high school not having a boyfriend even though all of my friends did, after going through all that I realized after some self-reflections, with the help of my strong friend group as well as some family members, I came to realize that while I may not be considered pretty by the standard that society puts forth, that I am a beautiful person inside and out, and that at the end of the day the only person who really needs to appreciate my beauty is me. If I don’t think that I am a beautiful person I will constantly be able to have other people mold me into something false and I will lose my sense of self. But I love videos like this where t reminds me of how far I've managed to come with my self-growth, and self-love. Because it has taken a lot to make me love myself but after 19 soon to be 20 years of life I can say that I honestly LOVE myself

Birth Rates + Control + Abortion

In our recent class, We have discussed the controversy around birth rates and women. We cannot discuss the issue of birth without adding in birth control. you can also not discuss birth control without adding in abortion. All three issues have to be discussed together in order to fully understand the issues with birth rates in the world. In third world under developed countries, birthrates are higher because there is a lack of birth control and abortions. In more developed countries where birth control is available both birth rates and abortion rates are higher. Why is that? Why is there both high birth and abortion rates in places that offer these services? Why is that birthrate almost equal to those in third world countries where there is little to no birth control? I cannot answer this question, but I can offer a reasonable explanation based on my research and knowledge. All female organisms are created to reproduce.  Women are the carriers of life. Biologically, our bodies were built for child birth whether you live in Brazil, or Asia. Generally speaking in America, women have the right to choose to either carry or abort the fetus. There are some women in america who have 19 children and don't believe in abortion, where as there are some women who have 3 or 4 abortions in their lifetime. So the rates of both births and abortions are high because 1 woman will have multiple births (4+) compared to 4 women having 1 abortion each. The numbers relatively balance out, yet they are climbing because of the availability of abortion and birth control. In american society, where there are multiple forms of birth control, (pill, shot, IUD, patch, implant, sponge, condom, ect..) there are still women who simply choose not to use it. They want multiple children and it is their right to, just as it is a woman’s right to get an abortion.

I was a little disappointed that we did not have the time to talk about the second reading in today’s class (Don’t get me wrong, the discussion we DID have was great too.) and wanted to speak my mind on it a little bit here. The “Why So Many Women Are Dying From Ebola?” article really upset me. The fact that these women suffer because their health is not seen as a priority makes me sick. I hear lots of people ask why we still need feminism. Well, this is a primary example of why the world needs it.
