This episode is fiction, but it follows a reality TV show, Christian family The Bakers. They are a family of 12 and in this particular episode shows one of their 13 year-old daughter, Lane remaining pure in the Purity Ball. Unfortunately, this is where things turn dark. During the pledge, she faints and everyone was concerned, but when the ambulance checked her out and it was revealed that she was pregnant. It was later discovered that it was the priest's baby and he used his title/authority in the church and among the family to create a power dynamic to manipulate her and her family. If you watch the full episode (which you should cause it's so good), this is what the narrator in the documentary "The Purity Myth" where the idea of this ball is naturally doing the opposite of protecting their child's sexualization "by forcing girls to position themselves as sexual objects before they hit puberty". Now take this message of the purity ball under the arms of toxic masculinity. The priest in this sense really perpetuated rape culture to be the ideal man, or maybe in his eyes, the ideal man of God. ]]> 2023-07-13 01:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2643937871 jordanbailey10jb https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2643969629 This is another example from "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit". This example is from the episode called Babes where it follows some teenage girls that created a pregnancy pact. Well something that's is important when it comes to relevance of class material would be that these girls are Catholics. Why is this important? Well, that means we have an idea of what they learned about in school and at home. Although it's not mentioned of their sex education, when the one of the detectives, Olivia Benson lists multiple possibilities behind their pregnancy. One indicator that shows the girls little knowledge about pregnancy as well as their own bodies. For instance, Detective Benson asked one of the girl's "Josh had schizophrenia, you're not worried about your baby being predisposed to it?". She replied, "No way. What does predisposed mean?". That alone shocked me, but it gets a little bit worse. One of the girls in this pact, in fact she was the leader, was in a relationship with a very religious young man but was impregnanted by another, random guy. The boyfriend seemed okay with it at first, or I should say he forgave her because him and his relationship with this girl is beautiful in God's eyes. However, it was revealed that he murdered his girlfriend because she broke her purity and chastity which ruined their relationship and hid relationship with God. I say all of this because this episode sort of portrays intimate justice, as well as how women are seen as pure based on their virginity. ]]> 2023-07-13 02:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2643969629 jordanbailey10jb https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2643980143 This is the sex education scene from the film "Mean Girls". I'm sure we are all familiar with this but I want to point out the obvious fact that this sin't teach these teenagers anything about sex because it's about abstinence. This whole scene is ironic because even though he says "Don't do it because you'll die", he offers the teens condoms. Why? Well, think about the "Purity Myth". The idea behind abstinence is fine, but the way it is being taught as an educational program is not okay because it is clearly spreading false information that is not backed up with scientific evidence nor does it have concern for the people. On top of this, they don't work, hence the joke of handing out condoms to the teens. ]]> 2023-07-13 02:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2643980143 jordanbailey10jb https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644025100 This whole video and the lyrics just takes the idea behind what a woman's body is typically viewed and kind of debunks it. Billie Eilish has suffered until the stigma about the portrayal of women's body for the first few years of her career. Due to fear of this criticism, she only wore baggy, oversized clothes to avoid sexualization. Once she was an adult, she disregarded what everyone thought and wore a tank top in public. This shocked everyone and she faced hate saying that she a whore, slut, she gained weight, etc. I believe she made this song not only in spite of her own personal experience, but to allow most of her fans to not hide from societal believes about their own bodies. ]]> 2023-07-13 02:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644025100 jordanbailey10jb https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644032476 The show entitled "Degrassi" is known for demonstrating every aspect of being a teenager in this day and age. Some ideas are great, others are cringe, and very few are ones that most would think would never happen to them. In this cup from an episode, Clare is a cancer survivor who found out she was pregnant and decided not to terminate because of the possibility of her getting pregnant in the future as slim. So far in this pregnancy, physically she was doing well until this moment. The doctor could not find the heartbeat and she suffered a miscarriage. She also suffers an internal battle that her body failed on her again and questioned if there was anything she could've done to her body before cancer to possibility avoid this outcome. But thankfully, she had a wonderful support system who reassured her that this circumstance is not her fault. This is showing the many internal conflicts that comes from the bumpy roads of pregnancy, especially miscarriages. In one of the articles we had to read for Chapter 11, a woman questioned herself and her body about the miscarriage because her body didn't even know that the baby had passed in her and she thought that she's not capable of being a mother because her body told her so. ]]> 2023-07-13 03:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644032476 jordanbailey10jb https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644048042 This is Dr. Andrews from the show "The Good Doctor". In season 1, episode 14, it was revealed to the audience that he and his wife was trying to start their own family for years but could not conceive. They went to the doctor and before she came back with the results why they couldn't conceive, he was already blaming his wife for being too old, waiting too long, overall, blaming her for being selfish. However, once the doctor came back, he discovered that his sperm was the issue. I used this as an example because I feel like no one really takes into the account how men's sperm can also play a role. It seems like naturally we want to blame women for the issue and this is a good example of that. This example also just shows how society may have perpetuated that idea which further pushes the agenda of toxic masculinity as well. ]]> 2023-07-13 03:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644048042 jordanbailey10jb https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644054405 This is a scene in season 1 of the show called "Jane the Virgin" where we follow Jane and her mother in class. This class they're being taught about breastfeeding and the importance behind it. However, there are lots of opinions about its importance. So much so that others like to voice their options to others. This reminds me of the TedTalk "Lies We Tell Pregnant Women" because it's someone telling another what they should do with their bodies and how they need to take care of their child this way. It seems like first time parents are especially impressionable, so naturally they will take all opinions. However, some of their decision can conjure up some feelings of shame in fear that they may not make the best decision for their child because society told them it wasn't okay. ]]> 2023-07-13 03:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanbailey10jb/c4jzw3efyudeose2/wish/2644054405
