I agree with mostly all of the things said in your article. Basically all of the things you put in your post I had similar ideas in mine. These two stories differ in time period and how women were treated. The only thing I don't think is true is that women are treated the same just yet. It is getting their but still very unfair when it comes to job opportunities I feel

This article and the Japanese court journals are very similar but also very different.They are similar because they were both told from a women's point of view. The difference is in the court journals they are treated as unequal and the men are superior and the women basically have to do whatever they say. In the article F'D Up it is empowering women and giving them strength and the the power to stick up for themselves and embrace feminism. Today their are still controversies if men and women are treated equally even though we are suppose to be.

This relates to the Japanese courts because they are both women who seek to talk about feminist things. The Japanese courtship is more like oh poor me I'm lonely especially when she goes on to say that she is over emotional and also she says she has not made an impression on anyone including men so she talks about how lonely she is. But the article online says the opposite sort of. She states that if someone doesn't like her then oh well. She is more involved with what is important to her with what she is good at and loves saying that she is a woman and good at something.

I agree to Robin's response to the article. I think now a days the role really has swithched with the roles of men and women. The fact that men can stay at home and women can go to work is a great change to our thoughts on a regular society. I believe no man is greater then any women. A person is a person and they sould be treated equal no mater their sex. I also think that its true most teens don't know what feminism is and expecially girls they need to start learning about it because it has made big changes in the world we live in today.

This article was about teens expressing their femininity and how they think that if you express your femininity, it takes over and defines your life. Women should be free to express themselves and thier beilefs. But in the Japanese Court Journals, it tells a story that women live a domesticated life and are overpowered by men. They have no say in politics and decsions made in their own house. Men call the shots and it seems that women are only there just to care for childeren and cook. I think that this is not fair and that woment should have more rights and th F'D Up article encourages that.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because women should all have the same rights as a man. Gender shouldn't prevent a woman from doing something or make it seem like she is expected to do something. Even today in modern society you hear a man being paid more than a woman, even if they hold the same position in a company. And more and more you hear about stay at home DADS, instead of stay at home moms. Women can bring home the bacon too.

This article really relates to my life. I remember learning about feminists in history class and agreeing with everything they were standing up for. I believe women should have equal rights and should be treated equal to men. Though in that very same history class my male class mates made fun of the feminist leaders we were learning about based on their appearances and beliefs. I had the same experience just like the girls in the article. It doesn't make sense for our society to look down soon feminists when it's just believing in equal constitutional rights. Many girls may not say they are feminists because its socially frowned upon. This relates to the Japanese court journals because the women didn't stand up for what they believed in they just followed the men to avoid confrontation. I think male or female everyone should have the right to

I completely agree with you Ethan but you also have to look at it through the girl's shoes.  There could of been multiple reasons for the girl to say no.  Maybe he is always mean to her or maybe he is involved with drugs and she doesn't want to be around someone like that.  She has every right to say no if she wants to.  However, she should privately approach him and give him a kind reason why.  There definitely was a better way she could have approached it and all girls need to remember how the guy is feeling.

I agree with your relation between the prom blog and the court journals. In the prom blog the girl's decision affected the way her classmates thought of her and in the court journals, Sei Shonagon loved nature and was happy she was not confined to a domestic life, which got her labeled as overly enthusiastic and arrogant by others. So in both situations a decision changed the way their peers thought about them.

In both the Japanese Court Journals and the article the women writing the story or article all dont agree with living according to how society wants to them and speak up about living a domestic life. They are all feminists but not the stereotypical, dominate their entire lives kind. They all live normal lives but strongly believe in the equality of male and female.

You made a great analysis and comparsion to the women of the Japanese Court Journals and the women of today's society. Japanese women were a bit like slaves, they were solely there to serve the males in the household. Today, that puts pressure on women because of the stereotying that goes on today. They are supposed to look how society portrays women, not how they actually are.

This was an interesting reading about prom and women's choices. In this situation, two guys asked a girl to prom and she said no to both of them,which gave her the label  as a mean person at her school. This is wrong because in today's world women have freedom of speech and they are not obligated to agree or say yes to a guy that asks her to prom. The obligations that some thought the girl owed the guys who asked her  relates to the Japanese court journals because in the journals men believed that women owed them certain service like serving their husbands and thought that all women who worked in the palace are bound to mean and wicked. In both situations the women got a bad reputation for just being human.

E-daddy i must say that you point out an interesting point about this blog entry and i like how you are giving the guys point of view. For the most part i aggree with what you are saying but women also do have the choice to say yes or no. Lets think about it this way if you were asked to a dance by a girl that you had no interest what so ever to saying yes to or going with, would you have a problem telling them no? I believe this girl should atleast give a reason why she doesnt want to go with them but i think its fine if she says no. E-DADDDDDDY!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that it is rude for any girl to just say "no" after being asked to a dance.  It takes a lot of courgae for a guy to ask a girl to a dance and girls should respect that.  Girls don't realize how hard this is to do. Things such as the way they look and their popularity shouldn't play a role in their final answer.  The girl should value the reason for asking and the amount of effort that was put into asking because that is what truely matters.  The only time it's acceptable to say no is when they have a reason.  The guy should be able to understand if she were to decline because she simply doesn't like dancing or might have a thing with another guy.  These excuses better be true and better be said to every other guy that asks her as well.  It means a lot when a girl is completely honest with you rather than lying or not giving a reason.  This article was very similar to the Japenese Court Journals because it's about a women making her own decision that will affect the way others look at her.  People need to think twice before acting and make sure they are doing the right thing.

# data[].attributes.body
The blog post about two guys asking a girl to prom was definitely interesting. She had said no to both guys publicly and in doing that everyone thought she was being rude. In my opinion, this doesn't make her rude at all, being asked to prom in a grand gesture is flattering, but if you don't want to go with that person you shouldn't have to. Society places so much pressure on girls to do what everyone wants them to do and what is expected. Yes, you may feel bad about publicly turning someone down, but you have the right to exercise you own opinion and to do what you want to do. Just because someone does something to "put themselves out there" it does not mean you have to do or say what is expected. That girl did not owe him a response nor did she have to say yes. She has a voice, and her own opinion. You should do what you want to do and what you think it right, not what society deems is right. This relates to the Japanese court journals because the women of the court were expected to be a certain way and act a specfic way. For example, reading Sutras or Chinese was basically forbidden to women. Domestic life was male dominated and the women were expected to serve their husbands in the home. They were not encouraged to speak out about their opiinions, but to keep them themselves.

I agree with you for the most part, but eventhough it is her prom and her lfe, i believe she should of given the boy a reason. Im sure the boy gave effort in asking her.With effort put in to asking her, the deserve a why for her saying no. saying this, the girl still shouldn't of gotten called names,becuase that's never right in any situtation.

# data[].attributes.body
The blog that i read is about a girl who was asked to prom by two guys and said no to both of them. They then responed that she is a bad name because she said no, even though they both asked in a cute way. Although the boys asked this girl in a nice way this doesn't make it necessary for her to say yes to ethier of them. The boys should know that there is a possibilty that she could deny them and possible didn't want to goto the dance at all. This is related to the Japenese Court Journals because they both have to do with the decisions that women make and how they are judged for them. This girl is judged and called names for how she reacted to being asked to prom and in the Court Journals the girl is judged for he decisions she makes as well. I believe that it is the girls right to decide if she wants to go with ethier guy and she shouldnt be judged by this decision.

The story about the girl rejecting the guy to Prom is extremely relatable to a lot of things in highschool. No matter what you do no matter what choices you make your going to be judged. People can judge you as something postive or you can be labled and outcast based on one or two peoples opinoin's. The girl had the right to pick whomever she wanted to attend prom with, she didn't have to say yes because the boy was extravagent. The boy probably shoud have scouted better and made sure she would have said yes if he was going to ask her like that. But the boy took a major risk in going out like that so i respect him in that sight. To the people calling the girl names; yea it looks bad from the outside her rejecting him but it's her life and it's her prom. She should be able to go with whomever she wants. That's the realtion between this story and the court journals the women took their destiny into their own hands. They chose who they wanted to be with were outspoken and refused to back down to any man. To sum it all up, it's life people are going to judge you for what they see fit, the sooner you stop caring the happier you will be. In the words of a great philospher "Do You, Boo Boo. Do You" - Kevin Heart.

This article relates to the Japanese Court Journals because both articles are expressing their opinion on feminism. In the Japanese Court Journals two women write about their personal life and opinions that are directed toward their lifestyle at that time. In the article of F’D UP the writer writes about women’s power in our words and our right to stand up for ourselves. This article has a stronger tone and thought on women and their power in society. Women do have a right to say yes or no to anyone because no one is forced to do anything they do not want to do. If the roles in the article of F’D UP would have been reversed guys would not be considered the bad guy in the story.

The article I read was about a proud lesbian feminist, it was very interesting... This feminist explains the differences of feminism to lesbianism one of them being that feminists support women not being objectified. This article can be compared to the Japanese court journals because both support the feminist power. Another comparison I made was that the Court Journals were written by strong influential women with a great skill in literature as well.

I agree on some level with what Faith said in her response about the article F'D UP. The Japanese courtship articles have their writings based on what should happen and their opinions on that topic. For example, when the article talks about a women's role in the household. A women's role in the household is not just about serving their husband but becoming apart of society. I connected this part of the article to the article of F'D UP which talks about empowering a women's role. I dont think the Japanese journals are women who are trying to create pitty for themselves but women are who voicing their opinions to try to change other women's actions. They may have done nothing in their lives but they made the reallization and through their journals want to change women's opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it isnt fair that she is being judged for turning him down.   She has the right to say no. When he was thinkning of how he was going to ask her he should have kept in mind there was going to be a chance she said no. What if she had someone else in mind? What if she doesn't even want to go to prom? That is no one elses business regardless. It is her right to do what she wants. She is allowed to say no. Just because he asked her publicly doesnt mean she was going to say yes. Its not right that people are judging her because its her choice whether she wants to go with him. Women often just say yes because they feel they have to say yes. This relates  to Japense Court Journals because the Journals say  women act based on what society thinks is best for them instead of doing what they want because they do not want to be judged.

Jessie, I totally agree with you! Everyone should just be equal, but I still wouldn't go as far as calling myself a feminist. I also agree that the Japanese Court Journals give off the vibe that women are weak, while the article seems to show women are powerful and proud in a way.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that the story is about asking someone to prom and when they dont get asked, the perswon that is asking them woners why they didn't say yes. Each person has a reason why the say no to someone when they ask them a question, and if your in a situation that you get asked by someone and other people around you say you shouldnt go with them, so you answer to the person that asked you to prom no. That is wrong because you answered the question based on what othter people think and not what you think.

I think that the article and the Court Journals compare because they both deal with feminism. However, they are different as well. The person in the article is saying things about how it is important to talk about your beliefs and live them. Sei Shonogan is a feminist, and we know this through the way that she talks about the men objectifying women. But she does not show her feminist ideas through the way she lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't particularly know what a Feminist was before reading this article. I wouldn't classify myself as one, mainly because I don't like categorizing people including myself, but I do believe in everyone being equal. I also do not like stereotypes given to any "group" of people. I suppose there is a stereotype for everyone, though. The author in this article is a feminist who hates the typical outlook on girls. I guess I would agree with her, but I don't know that I really care enough to classify myself as a feminist, or anything for that matter. I believe in what I believe in, but since I don't mind that people believe in different things than I do, I suppose I couldn't be tagged as a feminist. This article relates to The Japanese Court Journals because they discuss the general view on women and how they are supposed to act. I don't agree with this simply because I don't think there is a way anyone is supposed to act. There isnt really a "normal", persay. This world is so diverse that everyone should just act themselves and not really dwell on what others say is acceptable, abnormal, weird, whatever. That's why I wouldn't be a feminist, I'm just me. There's no better way to describe myself than just the word "myself". In conclusion, these writings are alike because they both deal with women's rights and how they are viewed.

I have to agree with you. Dances mean different things to different people. If a girl were to say "no," it should be perfectly acceptable, without all of the drama about why she did what she did. Guys should be able to respect a girl's opinion and answer. Unfortunately, I find that girls do have a tendency to say "yes," only because it's what people expect of us, just as you said. Society should be able to accept what we say and do, especially when it comes to making our own decisions (even with something as little as being asked to a dance).

I viewed the Japanese Court articles as a sorrowful approach to feminism, which viewed serious issues, such as the LACKING of women’s rights. This may have been so because it was an early stage of feminism, whereas it has drastically changed since then. On the other hand, the “F’d Up” article describes a slightly mediocre scenario, and viewed it with a strong modern feministic approach. Setting aside the childish story which the “F’d Up” article discusses; the whole article is based on people treating women specifically as objects. It also refers to how “society” has some basic expectations and rules specifically laid out for women, and women only. I have 2 main arguments for this article. First off, society expects women to do certain things, not because it is an obligation, but because it is what women have mostly done in the past. Believe it or not, there are just as many “expectations” for men as well from the rest of “society”, yet you don’t see many men protesting for “masculinism”. Secondly, it is claimed that society views such women with disappointment and utter disgust. I don’t agree with this statement, for I don’t think it is true, but assuming that it is true, so what if society sees you as a horrible person? As long as you have your morals and friends by your side, there shouldn’t be a slightest problem with what society thinks of you. Also, referring the story on the article, those which call girls a bitch for answering a question in a way which the asker unintentionally expected are fools which don’t deserve a second thought.

After reading the Prom Blog and based on my personal experiences, I do not think it is fair for a girl to be labeled negatively for turning down someone who asked her to a dance. If a girl is not comfortable with the idea of attending a dance with someone, she should not feel obligated to say yes. It is because of today’s standards for women that most girls feel this pressure. I fully understand how nerve-racking and the amount of courage needed for guys to ask a girl to a dance, especially if it is in a very public way. There is no easy way to deny someone but I think that it is possible to do so without receiving a bad name. When doing so, a girl should be very respectful and polite as possible. “Thank you” is also a necessity. Getting asked to a dance is a compliment, and should be treated that way. I do believe that if one decides to reject someone, they owe the person some sort of an explanation. If a girl is very rude, unappreciative and cold in her rejection, then she fully deserves to have a bad label. The main connection between The Japanese Court Journals and the Prom Blog is the theme of the expected role that women have. It is made clear in both passages that women have a specific role to fulfill in order to be accepted among society. In the Prom Blog, the writer clearly points out all of the faults with societies expectations of today’s girls when it comes to high school dances. The writer goes against these norms and stands up for the right to her own decision. She clearly does not feel pressured by the societal norms. On the other hand, in The Japanese Court Journals, the women felt trapped in a world that revolved around men. She was very depressed and had no confidence in her decisions or sense of independence. Nonetheless, women and men are equal. Both genders should give each other the respect they deserve and treat others as they would want to be treated.

Hi Kyle Krem, I completely agree with you that people should not be characterized by their sexuality, or their interests. However, that seems to be one of the main deal breakers with some people. It is unfortunate that they can't accept others for who they are as a whole, but they grasp that tiny concept and turn it into something bigger than it should be. Hopefully one day people will open their eyes to things more important and this controversy will be put in the past.

The title says it all - the article was simply about how someone listened to a guy complain that a girl - Alex - promptly turned two guys down as Prom dates, and how it automatically makes her a "gigantic bitch." Lo and behold, it does not, despite common belief. Being a senior in high school, this kind of thing is - unfortunately - something I've heard before. A girl is a human being, and can decide, and decline, to go with whoever she wants when it comes to dances. Just because a guy asks her, does not mean she is obligated to say yes, no matter the circumstance (such as they went all out and put a ton of effort into it). Dances could mean many different things to different people. Before this year, truthfully, I hadn't enjoyed dances. I'd only been to Homecoming and Turnabout once each, and neither experience was outright special to me. This could be anyone though. A girl can have her own reasons for saying "yes" and "no" to being asked to a dance, especially Prom. It appears that society expects girls to say yes and be all happy-go-lucky when it comes to dances all the time, which isn't the case. Because of this, this particular article definitely relates to the Japanese Court Journals, especially when it describes how women usually play the roles that are handed to them in society. Well, hello world, this isn't true at all. Girls are fully capable of making decisions for themselves, without being "gigantic bitches" about it either, since it connects with the article about Prom.

# data[].attributes.body
I somewhat agree with what the publisher has said about the girl being able to deny the two guys. If she doesn't want to go to prom with them, she shouldn't have to give an expected "yes" answer just so she doesn't look like an unfriendly person. I believe that if the guy is to ask a girl in a public way, he should 100% know that she is going to say yes. This way, no one is humiliated if the girl says no, and it saves the awkward moment in the crowd. On the other hand, if the girl is to deny the guy, she should give an acceptable reason as to why she doesn't choose to go with them. It's horrible to leave the guy hanging, so she should at least tell him why she doesn't go. The "I planned on going with someone else" explanation is always the safest route. Yes I agree that guys are put under a lot of pressure for having to always make the first step, but girls are pressured to give an appropriate answer just so she won't look like a b **ch. This article relates to the Japanese Court Journals because Murasaki Shikibu was being criticized for her own opinions and decisions. The people are judging her and trying to force her into doing something she doesn't want to do. The two articles tie together by both discussing what is expected in all women and the judgement they will receive if they don't behave the way they technically supposed to.

# data[].attributes.body
Molly, I agree with you in the sense that there are still obvious prejudices towards women, however, I do believe that women are more powerful than they ever have been and they have the same rights as men do. Women continue to grow stronger and stronger because they are all realizing that when they voice their opinion, people listen. There will always be prejudices against women, but there are also prejudices against men that have never really been mentioned and/or thought about in the past. A "man's stupidity" seems to be a growing prejudice, and there are many men that looked at as being "stupid" because their wives basically do everything for them, and they just go to work and make money. That is definitely a growing prejudice, and there are definitely a fair amount of prejudices for men and women, but I think that we have been more equal now than we ever have been.

I think there are a lot of girls out there that don't have the guts to say no. It is sad that they feel like they have to please others before themselves. The amount of pressure that is put on them while they are being asked is crazy. Whenever I see ways people ask others to dances I always think "aww look how cute that is" but now I wonder... is that person being asked thinking that same thing or are they thinking "well now I HAVE to say yes or I will look bad". It would be interesting to know if guys would rather a girl say yes (if she really didn't want to go) and end up having an okay time, or moving on to the next girl after being rejected and having her genuinely want to go with you and have a great time? I would think the second choice so guys, if someone does say no, respect her decision and move on!

The Japanese Court journals and the article, F'D UP are similar in the fact that they were both written by women with a strong opinion on why they should be treated equal. Each of the authors wrote about how they were looked at and the stereotypes that come along with being a female. For example, being a feminist doesn't necessarily make you different from everyone else or set you aside from others because you are a part of a group. It simply means that you believe in women's rights and that women should be treated as everyone else is treated. The article F'D UP was obviously written more recently than the Japanese Court journals were. This is why in the Japanese Court journals, the women speak of being afraid of voicing their opinions. They are controlled by men and they can't really stick up for themselves because they are scared. Nowadays, like in the article F'D UP, women have more of a voice when it comes to any issue brought to attention. Women are no longer controlled by men, they are no longer afraid to speak their minds, and they have more rights than they ever have before.

The main connection between The Japanese Court Journals and the Prom Blog is the theme of the expected role that women have. It is made clear in both passages that women have a specific role to fulfill in order to be accepted among society. In the Prom Blog, the writer clearly points out all of the faults with societies expectations of today’s girls when it comes to high school dances. The writer goes against these norms and stands up for the right to her own decision. She clearly does not feel pressured by the societal norms. On the other hand, in The Japanese Court Journals, the women felt trapped in a world that revolved around men. She was very depressed and had no confidence in her decisions or sense of independence. Nonetheless, women and men are equal. Both genders should give each other the respect they deserve and treat others as they would want to be treated.

I agree with you, Julius, that women should take into fact how much time or how effort was put into them asking. Although, it does not change my opinion that they should say yes just because the guy spent so much time boosting his confidence or made this huge hoopla about how he asked her. If they really did want an explanation they can always ask. Girls aren't just going to leave them with no answer. I don't think that it matters that two guys asked her to prom, and she turned them both down. It's the same for both. She has her reasons, even if her reason is simply just that she doesn't want to go with him, it's still her reason. I agree with your opinion on the Japanese court journal analysis because the things they write could potentially hurt someone, same as turning down someone who asked you to prom.

# data[].attributes.body
Prom is just one of the many choices we have to make as a teenager, or even as adults we have to face hard choices all the time. Sometimes the choices are really not all that hard. If you simply do not feel the need to go to prom, for instance, with the guy who asks you, you should not have to go. A girl should have her own choice and opinion. Depending on who the man is, or how he asked her i feel that he should be obligated to ask for an explanation. If the guy is just simply creepy, or asked many other girls, then obviously he doesn't need one. If, say, your best friend asked you to prom and you turned him down, he deserves to know why. Women should be free to express the fact that they have an opinion, too. The women in the Japanese court were able to do so, freely, by writing. They may not have had a say so in how they lived, which i think is wrong and that they should have a say in that as well. Just like how we should have a say in wether to say yes to a guy or no.

# data[].attributes.body
From a guys perspective I think that the girl saying no to the two guys that asked her to prom was rude. Asking a girl to a dance is hard to do. It takes a lot of courage for a guy to come up with the idea and then pursue it, especially in public. And sometimes I don't think the girls understand or appreciate the effort we put in to it. I understand girls have their own opinions and make their own decisions, and in certain situations it's respectable for a girl to say no. For example if she has no idea who he is, or if he's a creep. But most people don't just ask random people and make them feel uncomfortable for no reason. I also think that the two guys do deserve and explanation for why she said no because they put so much planning in to it and they were just shut down, and not even knowing why would make the situation harder. This blog relates to The Japanese Court Journals, because it is about women making their own choices without caring what others think. But at the same time they should because they could hurt the people around them weather they think they are or not.

Dakota, I really liked how you compared women of the court in Japan to women today. Women today are indeed given many more opportunties than they were in the past. As you mentioned, women of Japan were basically condemned to a life of faithfully serving their husbands, thus they were little more than slaves. Women today are still slaves of their role that society places on them and are often looked negatively upon when they do not fulfill that role. I agree with you and your analysis of the situation. Women should be able to make decisions for themselves in the 21st without society questioning their motives for doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the Japanese courts were similar to the story about the girl speaking her mind on being asked to prom and saying no. In the Japanese courts, the girl was free to speak her mind and even shared the writings in her journal. She was not afraid to be herself when in the same room as a man which is how it should be. The girl that was asked to prom and said no was free to speak her mind and was honest in her response. But would anyone else have the guts to say no?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you that no one should be judged based on who they are, and what the believe no matter how different from your own opinon. Many people say, "Don't judge a book by it's cover", sadly that is what most people do when they first see someone, they tend to focus more on the differences they see rather than getting to know them and what kind of person they are.

I believe women have gained rights and women are treated more equal to men than in the past. But sometimes I believe women do not receive the respect they deserve for the work they have done. For example, the prom article was quite mean in a way because people were calling the girl unneccessary names because of her answer to the question. This can be discrimination. I hope that women continue to gain more respect in the future!

I agree 100% with your views on this topic. People should not be judged for who they choose to be. The problems in our society are not with the people who appear different, the problem lies with the people against them. They are trying to oppress the bold things that happen around them, maybe only because they cannot accept change. Really it is none of our business what someone feels towards another person, it's their life and they should not feel like they have to go against who they are.

This article deals with the idea that when asked to prom it is the obligation of the female figure to say yes to the male figure. This stems off into the idea that when asked twice a girl should atleast say yes to one guy or that when asked publically a girl should say yes even if she does not wish to go with any of them. Why should women be put under such pressures? If they do not want to go with a guy to prom, get married to him, or simply talk to a guy, ultimately it is their life and they should make their own life decisions. This idea that men have the right to pressure and control women stems back to the Japanese Courts. Sei Shonagon openly critized men for treating women so unequally and giving them no opportunties. Her basic message is that women should be able to do anything that they feel is right for themselves, which is a similar viewpoint of the outlook on the post. Though opportunities for women are much better than they were in Japan at that time, obviously women are still unable to fully be equal in the eyes of men in regards to making decisions for themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
The Japanese court journals and the Prom Blog are alike in the sense that they both talk about a woman’s choice and how she is viewed by others because of the choice. In the blog a guy asks a girl to prom, but she turns him down, and now because she turned him down she is viewed as, in other words, a jerk. I don’t understand why the girl was called those names in the blog. I mean she had a right to say no, why couldn’t people just respect that? In the boy’s defense it was a nice gesture, but that doesn’t mean it guarantees an automatic yes from the girl. She didn’t say no to purposely hurt his feelings, she probably just didn’t want to go to the dance at all, or didn’t feel the same way for him. In comparison, in the Japanese court journals, Murasaki Shikibu talks about how she reads Chinese, and how people think of her as somewhat of a rebel, and criticize her because she is doing something that was not encouraged for women at that time. In both the journals and the blog the women are getting unfairly judged by others on the choices they make.

I think the article was right when it said "most teens don't know what a feminist really is." I am one of those people, I share some of the same beliefs and morals as feminists, but I wouldn't identify myself as one. In the Japanese Court Journals, Murasaki Shikibu, feels that women who live the "stay at home mom" role do not have any exciting prospect in their life. I for one disagree, the mom at home is helping just as much as the father is to keep the family running, that's not to say that I don't think women should have jobs outside of the home, because I do. Now days, the roles have become switched and you see women out working, while men stay at home with the kids. It's good for women to be apart of the work force and show what they are capable of is just as good, if not better than what a man can accomplish. All in all, I feel men and women should be treated equal because we all rely on each other find comfort with one another and this helps us survive as civilized humans.

High school dances are supposed to be a great time. They don't always turn out to be that way due to all the drama of who is asking who. Some people get way to tied up in who your going with. You are going to a dance with them, no one said you had to marry them. With that being said, dances are a much bigger deal for girls than the guys. The girls spend hours on perfecting their hair and makeup and who could forget that perfect dress they spent hundreds of dollars on. The girls spend way to much time and money on the night to have a "bad date". For this reason, I believe the girl has every right to reject a date to the dance. The problem with rejecting a date to a dance is friends. Friends will be all over you asking you why you said no. If you don't give a reason you will be tagged as a bad word through out the school, but if you given a reason other people will understand and stop questioning you about it. It will also make the guy understand instead of him feeling that you think your to good for him. Instead of taking these steps women often just say yes because they feel they have to say yes, which relates directly to Japense Court Journals. The Journal basically states women act based on what society thinks is best for them instead of doing whats best for them.

I agree with the fact that women always think they need to have a man in their life in order to "survive" but evidence from the Japanese Court Journals and from the article shows women can survive and be successful! I also agree that women are looked down upon in todays society.  But a the same time i believe some women put themselves in a lower class then men due to fear or lonliness, no financial stability or an unexpected child.  Women need to start standing up for their gender and stop putting themselves under men when they should be treating themselves as equals.

# data[].attributes.body
The comparison between this article and the Japanese Court Journals is about the main point of the writing itself.  The main idea of both pieces is about women and their place in society.  In the Japanese Court Journals the women are viewed as being less then men.  They are taken as not truly having the same intellectual capability as men.  They were not allowed to read and truly speak their minds.  But in the article it talks about how more should be feminists and stand up for their gender.  Both writings are similar because they both express how women were too afraid to express their true feelings about the way they were being treated.  The article shows that women now are starting to use their voice and conquer their fear of being different.  Society today I feel has changed and become more accustomed to people standing up for what they believe in.  But some today downgrade themselves to be lower then men in general, or submitting themselves just because they think in order to fit into society’s measures they need to have a man or have a man be in charge of their life.

Ethan i agree with your post 100%. It takes a lot of courage to ask a girl to a dance. It could be a tragedy if the girl says no, but if she says no with out a reason the results are devastating. The least the girl can do is give a explanation on why she said no. The Explanation will also give the guy a chance to fix the reason why she said no. Unfortunately girls will not always give us an answer, so we just need to go out on a limb and ask even if we don't know what the problem is. I do believe a woman has every right to reject the man though if she has a reason

I completely agree with what Jessica is saying. There are a lot of things that go along with being a feminist and I don't totally understand what being a feminist is. Women are defiantly not ranked as high as men are and although women want to be equal, they are not. In the Japanese Court Journal, the women is lonely and wants to feel loved by a man. In reality she doesn't need anyone to make her happy and to be special. The women writing the blog really knows what she believes in and is very self confident, while the women in the journals knows what she wants yet she wont do anything to get it.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a feminist means you are confident in being a women, confident in who you are. I personally would not call myself a feminist due to the fact that i don't understand the exact meaning of it. Women tend to be looked down upon by men and looked at as being weak. It takes a special person to stand up and declare themselves as a feminist. In the Japanese Court Journals, the women is lonely and has no one around her, therefore she is depressed. She wants a man to be by her side all the time. I feel like she is unsure of what she wants and isn't confident in the life she has created for herself, where the women in the blog knows what she wants and will do whatever it takes to get it. Women defiantly need to to know what being a feminist is and knowing that will make them stronger and more confident in the way they are living their lives.

I agree with your opinions, Jessica. I feel that the term "feminist" is not used loosely, and people believe it could be perceived as a bad thing. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are extremists. The woman who wrote the online article definitely has a direct opinion on feminism and is not afraid to state her beliefs. I also thought that the Japanese Court Journals did not have as much of an impact as this article. Yes, all the women had good reasons and facts to back up their opinion, but these journals were written in a time when women's needs were not important, so this may be a reason why it was not effective.

# data[].attributes.body
This article is related to the Japanese Court Journals we read in class because both deal with feminism and it's role in society. In the Japanese journals, it was most likely that those opinions were thought by many women, but not actually spoken. These women, such as Sei Shonagon, were empowering in their culture and influenced other women to voice their opinion. The Japanese Court Journals presented women as living "domestic lives", meaning they were in the house most of the time. The online article talks about men judging women who identify themselves as feminists. Even today, there is still some prejudice towards women.

I agree with what you said. Even if the texts of the Japanese Court Journals are old, women today in our society are still looked down upon. There's still a difference between men's salary and women's salary. There's no reason why, but that exactly show the inequality.

But there's a huge difference right now than before, and hopefully it will get better and better, because to my mind, there's no reason to make a difference between men and women besides physically differences. I'm pretty sure that most of the time women are more intelligent than men in certain domain.

Ethan i agree with you in the fact that if a girl rejects a guy then there is a reason. If a guy goes through the trouble to plan all of that and get the nerve to ask a girl to prom, then there is obviously a reason why she said no. The reason may not be a good reason, may just be because she wants to go with someone else, or maybe your just not a very good person. I still think that if the guy goes through all that trouble that if he wants he deserves at least the reason why.

This article is about how female gamers are growing and make up almost % of gamers today. It also talks about how the two biggest producers of Halo 4 are both female. Then it goes on to talk about how the producers want to make a lifetime ban on Xbox live gamers who make sexist statements or actions. It also says that Xbox is not revising the rules to make this lifetime ban on sexist gamers. This relates to the Japanese Court because it talks about how people bringing down female gamers, yet the two biggest producers of Halo 4 are female. The court packet talks about how females should go and become their own people and how they can do great things without a man. I beleive that Xbox should not have special regulations for sexist statements, because in the rules the say any offensive content can result in banning, but why should they have a special lifetime ban just on people who make sexist statements? Racist statements, or over the mic bullying would still only have a temporary ban.

I agree in the sense that a person should be evaluated on what they can do and how efficiently they can complete the task. One's own sexual orientation or gender should not be a basis for any type of discrimination. However, the reversed golden rule was brought up, "treat others as you would like to be." The original surpasses it. "What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others." - Confucius

School dances are something every teenager can experience while in high school. In my opinion, I love being able to get dressed up, take pictures, go out to dinner and dancing! For me, dances are a great event and a way to have fun with your friends. Not all people are the same though. Some girls and even guys may feel uncomfortable at school dances. This is okay too! Dances aren’t for everyone. If a girl turns a guy down to a dance they shouldn’t be labeled as this mean, horrible person. There is no rule that says the girl has to say “yes” if a guy asks her. She also doesn’t have to explain why her answer is no. A simple “no thank you” is kind enough and guys should respect her answer rather than needing an explanation. It all comes down to roles in society. Many teenage girls will not say “no” to a boy even if they truly would not like to go to the dance. As females, we may just answer “yes” because it’s what everyone around us wants us to do and because we don’t want to look like a mean person. The female in the blog relates to the Japanese Court Journals (especially in When I Make Myself Imagine). In the journals it talks about how Shikibu feels thinking about the women who naturally just play the roles society wants them to play. “Yet they have had no opportunity to find out what the world is like”. This quote goes with the prom blog because if we don’t do what we believe in, than you will never know what the world has for you. All in all, females can make their own decisions and worry about themselves first instead of going with what is expected of them.

Dakota I agree with you. In the Japanese Court Journals the women are treated like slaves. They are forced to listen and to obey their husbands without any say. But in today's society women are slaves of their beauty and how society expects women to look. which is the unfortunate truth. I truly beileve that people should not be judged on their appearance but looked at by the difference they make in the world.

This article and the Japanese Court Journals can be compared by their main topic, which is the role and the view of women in society. Those women in the Japanese Court Journals and Julie Zeilinger are talking about their own feelings, and their experiences in the daily life. It's interesting in the way that Julie Zeilinger relate her experience with the men, when Sei Shonagon compare herself to other women, but they're both talking about the pressure of women in society. Also, those women have different culture, and we can notice that their context are different. Indeed, in the contemporary culture, Julie Zeilinger can put a name on her opinionm which is called feminism, when Sei Shonagon was probably one of the rare women to express that feeling in the early Japan.  Nevertheless, they're not both only talking about their own life but we can relate their thoughts to the women in our actual society.

I do not fully understand what it means to devote yourself to being a feminist. In the blog online it talks about how a feminist is a strong woman who sees themselves equal to men. I agree with that statement but I do not know if I would go as far as to calling myself a feminist. In the Japanese Court Journals she talks about how she does not have a man in her future. Although she feels sorrow and loneliness this shows that she does not need a man to survive. Women are still looked down upon today as being weak, when really some of the brightest and most successful people today are women. The blog online is more straight forward and shows that the writer has very strong beliefs and opinions and is a strong person, whereas in the Japanese Court Journals I get the sense that the lady is not very confident in her way of life. It is nice to see that this topic has come to society’s attention and is opening more people’s eyes about how they should be viewing women in today’s world.

Ethan i completely agree with your response to the article that you read. It takes alot of guts for a guy to ask a girl to go somewhere, in this case prom, and then have that girl tell you she doesn't want to go and doesn't have a reason why. This makes you feel bad about yourself and start to question yourself which lowers your self esteem in which i believe everyone needs. Everyone that lives in this society that we live in deserves the love, and respect that they deserve and in this case, the boy who had asked the girl to homecoming isn't getting any respect. Unfortunatly i believe this happens consistently in the schools we go to today, but hopefully this won't continue and will be stopped!

Alissia I agree with you that in the article F'D UP the author was trying to show how the word "feminism" is not so dirty. Women should not be afraid to express what they believe in because we all have an opinion that matters. Who knows one day a female could make a difference and shock a lot of men or they could simply run for president and change our world. It disappoints me that in the Japanese Courts women were controlled by men and they express their feeling and if they did it was through nature in their poetry. But today I truly believe that equality between men and women is getting better but still needs to improve. Everyone deserves to speak and maybe make a difference!

I agree with you and believe that everyone deserves their own form of personal decision making and that everyone is equal. Those two ideas are some of the basics that our country were originally based off of and to this day believe in. If you look at our society in this present day, you see men and women co-existing with equality and the power to make their own decisions as our forfathers intended.

# data[].attributes.body
The article F'D Up and the Japanese Court Journals we read in class are connected in a way where it represents the side of a female. What I mean by this is that in the journal and the article a woman wrote what they felt about how they are looked upon or what their life is like being a female. But these two pieces of writing differ as well. In today's society, in the article, Julie Zeilinger, speaks about how "feminism" should not be known as a dirty word. She speaks about how women should not be afraid to call themselves a "feminist." She states, "I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women." In this case she believes that females should not be scared to express how they feel about certain issues. On the other hand, in the Japanese Court Journals it is the opposite. It mentions how woman feels living a domestic life. These feelings include being controlled by men and having to hide how they feel about situations in their society. As a result they have no equal rights in their society at this time. But it has changed in today's society. Women now are treated more equally towards men and have many higher positioned jobs then they did in the Courts. Now do you think that these rights of women will continue to get better or remain the same?

This story about asking someone to prom and rejecting them is a relatable topic to any high school or even college student. In this case, a guy askes a girl to prom and she says no. This girl then goes on to explain why she doesn't need a reason why. Now if your in that situation and your that guy that wants to ask a girl that to prom, then you know your nervous no matter the answer. You have your plan, you ask her out, then she drops the ball and says no. Shes probably got her reasons but in this case, the girl doesn't think she needs a reason to tell this guy why she doesn't want to go with him. This relates to the Japanese Court Journals because it deals with your own decisions and how they can affect others around you.

# data[].attributes.body
F'D Up and the Japanese Court Journals are connected in which each the journal and the article are told by women. In F'D Up "feminism" is highly encouraged and looked at in a very positive way. Saying that women should be very free to express what they believe and not to be afraid of being sterotyped into being called a "feminist". However, in the Japanese Court Journals it talks about how women live a domestic life therefore being mostly controlled by men and living in a society where they don't have the right to be equal. In today's society women have the right to be looked at as being equal next to men and to have the independence women deserve.

I agree with what you are saying. A person can have an opinion about others and their choices or way of life but at the end of the day we are all humans and we were not able to choose which sex we wanted to be born, or what religion we wanted to be born into, so everyone should be looked at as equal humans.

fem·i·nism – the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

1. Nowhere in this blog does Ms. Caputo compare how we treat women and how we treat men in our society. This causes some confusion about where exactly her title as a, “feminist,” stems from.

2. I agree with her however, that women should not be objectified. In the reading of the Japanese Court Journals, it was shown that women who lived the domestic life were in fact, basically slaves. They were given a position in the household and were expected to carry out that duty, as well as obeying their husband. This practice puts a stigma on women of that time period, one where men have total control over women. This can be related to what Caputo was saying, in that today’s women aren’t, “slaves,” of their position, but slaves of their beauty and the way society portrays how a woman, “should,” look.

I believe it does not matter what you believe in or who you are as a person. What should matter is if you can do what your told and if you can do it right and efficiently. No matter if your straight, gay a woman or a man you are who you are and you should not be looked down on if others have different views on those things. People need to treat others the way they want to be treated because nobody wants to be put down or be neglected about things.

This reading/interview really made me think about how serious this topic and issue is throughout our society. Especially in sports, many people believe it’s wrong to not be straight, but in my opinion Hudson did a bold thing. He stood out for what he believed in, and is trying to make a difference. This relates to Japanese Court Journals, and the online text because it shows that everyone is equal and should be able to make their own decisions on their own life without anybody questioning them. Everyone should have the ability to do what they would like to do, and not what other people are telling them to do.

This relates to the Japanese courts because they are both women and seem to talk about feminist things. But the Japanese courtship is more like oh poor me I'm lonely and I don't make an impression on people and she says she doesn't make an impression on men, but the article online sort of contradicts that by saying oh you don't like me well oh well. I'm good at soccer that's cool. The paper given to us about the courtship is a woman complaining and talking about her feelings, while the online article is more like eh feminist live and breath feminism.

This piece and the Japanese court trials connect by they are both written by women first off. not only that, but they are both talking about how women act. like in F'D UP, she talks about being a feminist and such. In the Japanse Journals, the writter is talking about how she is lonely and pathetic more a less. The online version however is more like "Yeah feminism" and such and the other is  like "yep Im a woman."
