Reflection On Feminism

been a journey for me and what I find myself identifying feminism as. Looking back at our first writing assignment and discussing the magnitude of interpretations on what feminism is and what it stands for, my opinions and views have certainly evolved throughout the course of the semester. Feminism, in all of its forms and interpretations, is expressed differently to each person. As for myself, I have never explored the vast variety of feminism until this past fall semester. From expressing my views

I never really understood the term “feminism”. I will admit at first, I was very hesitant to identify as a feminist and that was due to the negative view the media put on it. I believed it to be an anti-men movement made by females. In all seriousness I would laugh at people who identified as one, I often thought how can you hate men? How can you think one gender is superior to another? and how can you think creating issues out of non-issues will solve all of your problems? As a society, we need

This class did not necessarily change my attitude towards feminism, rather it served as a reminder as to why I choose to be a feminist. I have always considered myself a feminist and I have worked to promote equal rights in my community. I was very excited to take this course because I knew that it would teach me about influential women in history and emphasize why women’s rights are so important. But, this class exceeded my expectations and taught me a lot more important information than I thought

Reflection Paper #2 When someone thinks of Feminism and Science, they might immediately think that the two fields are incompatible and do not go with each other, or they may think that the two fields mixing are problematic. Peter Godfrey-Smith only contends with what is called “spontaneous feminist empiricism” (Godfrey-Smith 141), and somewhat contend with “philosophical feminist empiricism” (Godfrey-Smith 141). Many scientists and people like Godfrey-Smith would immediately gravitate towards

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, feminism is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes. According to me, feminism is the reason why in my hometown I am considered to be an angry man-hater owing to the fact that I voiced my opinions when I hear something sexist or injustice occurring. According to a young female I spoke to on the topic, feminism is a movement of angry, man-hating extremist females who try to advocate for female rights. There are a vast number

theme. The readings about feminism stood out to me as I am interested on how women force impact the field of scientific research. The term “feminism” describes the fight for women’s right and equality based on equality of sexes. The women around the world are facing so many problems like inequality from political issues, work force, scientific research to even in their house. Feminism helps to amplify the women roles, power and their contribution to the community. Feminism also refers to the fairness

about feminism in each lesson. I began the course knowing that feminism can be for anyone and is about equality of the sexes. With the help of our many readings and discussions we have during class I have now learned that feminism is a struggle with not just white women, but with women of color, women of third world countries, and lesbians. I was unsure about what I would all learn while taking this course and now it’s safe to say that I am definitely gaining more knowledge about feminism, while

Looking at feminism it’s not something that women only have within themselves. Men can be a feminist and have the same believes as women have about their state in this world. What is exactly is feminism though? According to our lectures in class and in readings feminism is the same rights as everybody, the right to vote, and equality. These issues have been around for many years before today, I am a feminist because I support that women should have the right to vote and equality as men, the anti-gender-discrimination

Before this course, I believed I had a strong understanding of feminist issues - based on my self-identification as a feminist and recognition of the difference between the terms “feminism” and “womanism”. However, after participating in this course and learning from others in the classroom, I now recognize how feminist issues affecting women of color seep into every aspect of daily life. This course has helped me to filter out the dominant narratives in feminist history and theory, and to recognize

thoughts were about course material. The questions we started off with were about feminism. Before our first class we were assigned to watch “We Should All Be Feminists” TED Talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Also, for our first class activity we had to order images from least to most feminism. Before I began this activity I googled the definition of feminism because truthfully, I was not familiar with feminism or feminist besides my knowledge from the TED Talk. In addition, one of our first readings
