Gamboa De Baxo Summary

The fight against sexism is not a new fight. Women have been fighting for equal rights, as well as fighting for their lives, culture, and values to be just as important as men's. On August 18, 1920, women were granted the right to vote; but this was only the beginning. From then to now, the role of women in society has significantly changed due to women standing up for their rights at protests and rallies, as well as on social media. While “The Good Wife’s Guide” focused on the promotion of the traditional gender role of women and defined appropriate emotions for women, “The Revolt of ‘Mother,’” by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, represents the start of the resistance of the traditional gender role of women that we see in society today.

Throughout this course, we learned that women’s studies originated as a concern at the time that “women and men noticed the absence, misrepresentation, and trivialization of women [in addition to] the ways women were systematically excluded from many positions of power and authority” (Shaw, Lee 1). In the past, men had more privileges than women. Women have battled for centuries against certain patterns of inadequacy that all women experience. Every culture and customs has divergent female

For many years women have been forced with unequal and oppressive “community” by men. This article highlights the reason as to why women were oppressed and why “gender Blindness” exists and how it only occurs due to manipulation of women’s daily lives (Hayden, P). In this text she references government documents such as the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. She highlights the fact that Gender Blindness has been occurring way before 1979 and still persists.

The poem’s tone in the first stanza is inquisitive, yet not in the way of curiosity, but the in the grieving sense of asking why, if the government is supposedly so omnipotent, do acts of violence still occur in author’s homestead. Surveillance seems like a useful tool and works to prevent domestic terrorism and violence from outside its network, but simply and routinely neglects the violence within its network caused by its own citizens (Nelson 165). It is in this vein that Giovanni later remarks, “Who saw what I heard/Who knows how to make sense of it (101)”, in order to highlight the discordant nature of her surveillance. While her family may be safe from the violence of radicalized ideologists, why doesn’t the same surveillance protect her mother from the hands of her father, a much simpler and directed

Locating a pattern of events that would validate the negative impacts the social world has on women is nearly impossible given the organization of gender roles and expectations of both women and men in 1973. Sociologist and author Dorothy Smith attempts to convey the conflicting roles of the women in relation to men. Writing Women's Perspective as a Radical Critique of Sociology to serve as a representation of the classic Marxist dilemma. A women, a single mother and a scholar Dorothy has first hand knowledge of the flaws in the gender hierarchy found in a male dominated society. Even so it can not be denied that this perspective casts a shadow over the way In which she chooses to define the social world,women and experiences in her writing. An achieved collective identity consciousness is at the core of Dorothy’s way of thinking. Calling into question the structure of the disciple of Sociology. Expanding she asks the read the central questions,“ What can we ask of this social reality that was previously unavailable was indeed repressed? What happens as we begin to relate it in terms of the disciple? At the crux of her argument of a collective experience she pulls a second objective that is geared toward the analysis of the lack of female representation in the field of sociology. Insinuating that the collective experience of women as a

Women feel like they are slaves and owned because they have no freedom. Women submit to laws in the formation of which she has no voice, they have no representation in the halls of legislation. Stanton elaborates further by providing that women have the same rights and privileges as men stating “we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States”(Stanton, 583) and that all people within a society should have the same status in respects of civil rights, freedom of speech, property rights and equal access to all social goods and services by stating, “it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” (Stanton, 582) When explaining each injustice and oppression against women, Stanton induces the reader to act “because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights.” (Stanton, 583) Stanton is portraying women as innocent, blameless victims, and men as the evil opposition.

With the advancement of suffrage to equal pay, over the last century, women’s rights have progressed immensely. Through historic marches and demonstrations across the United States, women protested for their equal place in politics and social progress. Despite the fear-mongering components used in achieving these rights, women’s rights are still thoroughly debated within society today. Over the last century, incredible and unreachable goals have been fulfilled for women, such as the right to vote and a sense of equal state in the “Free World,” and can only improve in the years to come.

In 1868, Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered the "The Destructive Male" during the Women's Suffrage Convention in Washington, D.C. The speech given in the height of the Women's' Suffrage movement gathered an abundance amount of women and a small percentage of the participants were men that as well supported the end to women's suffrage in America. The author's purpose of this speech is to show that if we fight for women's right, we could have a society that can be progressive and convince the people to let women gain their rights. Derived from Stanton's speech, If men and women were to share power, then the world will work in harmony and be safer. This speech was presented to an audience that supported to end the suffrage of women, either man or women, and it helped others to be a part of the movement as well. The people were willingly there to encourage the forward movement for women to gain rights. The main idea for this paper will be how the presences of logos, ethos, and pathos had an impact on the people.

Paragraph: On July 19, 1849, 300 people arrived for the Seneca Falls Convention. Similarly to the Declaration of Independence, they made the Declaration of Sentiments, which listed the acts of tyranny of men over women. Before this convention, women were not allowed to speak in most meetings. This angered many women, inspiring them to fight for women rights. One example of this was during the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. Men did not even want them to watch, so they tried to hide them behind curtains. Women couldn’t get jobs, even if they were the best in the class. Many people believed that they had to protest for reform about slaves and women rights.

Women have expectations. Society wants women to act appropriately. Women stereotypically do not speak their minds. Poet, Ana Castillo, uses her poem “Women Don’t Riot” to showcase her frustration towards women who continue to stay silent about harm brought onto them. For example, “raped, / beaten, / harassed, / … / won’t ever rise up in arms” (Castillo 26-32), displaying her frustration towards women who continuously listen to a society that says to stay quiet. Castillo develops anger towards the women who bow down to ridiculous expectations. She believes that if women stand united and fight together, society’s ignorance might fade, leading to a lower risk of sex crime. The world wants women to keep being afraid of

It must be said that men of power create the structure of life--which is not necessarily profitable or fitting to women, nor to the human race in its entirety. Women do not live in this structure:“They lead beautiful lives--women. Lives not only divorced from, but irrevocably excommunicated from, all reality” (156).

Police working the route to separate every one.(Tanvi misra) Activists get generally much less than they want and it takes a long time to get it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter.” (Lily rothman) Introduction: *Women have been treated like

Within the Western socio-cultural context, the wall is a thing to be exonerated; it separates one’s friends from one’s enemies, provides shelter for what one holds dear, and provides a point of reference that one can defend against outside forces. It should hardly come as a surprise, then, that a wall has deep symbolic meaning attached to it; in T.C Boyle ’s The Tortilla Curtain, the concept of the wall emerges as a symbol for the differences that keep the characters in their own little “worlds.” As a wall separates the “ins” from the “outs,” it becomes a metaphor for self-centeredness and ignorance as the residents of Arroyo Blanco Estates seek to wall themselves off from the rest of the world.

The piece compares patterns of traditional political activism as well as protest politics (such as demonstrations, petitions, strikes and boycotts). From all these aspects, it is implied that the rising tide in gender equality transforming aspects of both men and women’s lives in the public sphere women usually remain less politically active in most nations, contrary to expectations. The gender gap is still consistently evident across many facets of civic life, even in post-industrial societies.

For my paper I decided to further explore men’s rights movements. I chose this option because it seems to be less prevalent in our news today and men’s rights often overlooked as an issue overall. I for one, don’t know much about men’s movements in our history, let alone current movements. I thought this was an interesting topic and as a woman I am interested to explore the content and successes in men’s movements. We often see men as more privileges and favored throughout our history, and we often miss the injustices or discrimination against them. I think reading these chapters have definitely given me a better outlook on gender relations.
