But seems to be enjoying
The fruits of my labor that came to me too young
When he stole my virtue
I'm glad it seems to serve you
That I was born a daughter and not a son🎶

A woman's worth is so often defined by how well she can serve a patriarchal system by making children and being a "Homemaker." This still applies to AFAB non-binary people, who are just as likely to be a victim of this type of objectification as a cisgender woman. When we are all reduced to nothing but a uterus by a sexist society, we are all fighting the same fight, whether we still identify as a woman or not.

Reference the 2/06 lecture slide regarding using brain-dead women as "incubators" for embryos (that could not even make it to term in a brain-dead body).    ]]> 2023-02-05 19:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2469148705 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2469157751 "More generally speaking, there is no reason to expect a perfect gender balance in college. Women and men face different incentives and should be expected to make different choices."

Obviously, women being in college and becoming self-sufficient and educated is a major threat to patriarchal structure. It's not lost on me that so many "pick up artists" that target their content towards young men constantly push the idea that college-educated women are "undesirable" and that "high-value men" don't date women who could threaten their misogynist worldviews.   

See page 120 for how women/men are ascribed different roles and how those may effect how and why someone will get an education. what workforce they enter, etc.

One of the main things I wanted to touch on here is how the brand is targeted towards mainly teen girls, yet has a "lingerie" section for them; one of the sets was themed after the novel/movie Lolita where a man in his 30's obsesses over and eventually kidnaps and rapes a 14-year-old girl. (If I ever see someone call Lolita a love story ever again, I'm going to lose my damn mind. I have read it twice and I can and will rip anyone who tries to romanticize it to shreds.)  

I personally find it strange to connect undergarments so heavily with femininity, but it is widely considered to be one of the most important things about growing up as a woman.

Reference heading #23 (pg. 176) about how pubescent girls have been commodified, and how undergarments have been stigmatized/sexualized, even on little girls.  ]]> 2023-02-05 19:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2469169551 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2470553825 “There’s no long-term benefit to killing members of your largest user base, because eating disorders are incredibly dangerous, there’s no way that’s what [Instagram] wants,” Keel said. “My one request would be just to be more transparent. You’re tracking this, you’re trying to do things to minimize the risk of your site, and just be more transparent about what you’re trying to do.”

It was found that Instagram was not only failing to crack down on pro-ED accounts, but they were actively pushing ED accounts onto the FYP's of accounts registered as 13-year-old girls.

The social expectation for women to be thin and "perfect" is a form of social control and toxic gender construction. I also can't help but notice the pedophilic undertones of wanting grown women to have a thin, dainty figure reminiscent of a preteen girl.     

See pages 171-174 in the textbook for reference about Eating Disorders, as well as the lecture about body image/shape. ]]> 2023-02-06 18:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2470553825 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2472078634 🎶One man can build a bomb, another run a race
To save somebody's life and have it blow up in his face
I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand
I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man🎶

🎶Another day, another tale of rape
Another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate
I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand
I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man🎶

🎶All the hate coming out from a generation
Who got everything and nothing guided by temptation
Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run
Or has something deep inside of us come undone?
Is it a human trait or is it learned behavior
Are you killing for yourself or killing for your savior?🎶
(This verse has a direct connection to heading #20/Pg. 136)

🎶Underneath it all we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all?
We're just animals still learning how to crawl🎶

I think this song is an effective commentary on gender construction; it illustrates not only the struggles that women face, but how patriarchy has deteriorated our society. In a verse at the beginning and another towards the end of the song, Marina questions if this is truly an animalistic urge in our DNA, or if something inside of us has been broken due to the extremism that has been born from overbearing social roles. 

I HIGHLY recommend listening to the whole song to analyze the full commentary. And also because I'm a MARINA Stan.  

Reference the textbook page 136 about gun violence, aggression, and masculinity as well as the lecture and page 120 about the social construction of gender, patriarchy, toxic masculinity, etc. ]]> 2023-02-07 16:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2472078634 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2502938703 This song subverts societal constructs and expectations by proudly proclaiming that:

🎶Bitches gettin' money all around the world
'Cause girls is players too🎶 

It's an anthem about being financially and emotionality independent from men. 

It is also an absolute BANGER.  ]]> 2023-03-03 17:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2502938703 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2502952605 This study reports that there is very blatant racism in the way news and the media cover crime. 

There are amazing infographics that display how POC defendants are represented negatively, were more likely to have their mugshot shown in the news, less likely to have picture with family/friends released, and more likely to have words like "murder" or "arrested" used to describe them.

White defendants were more likely to have pictures of them with family/friends, be shown wearing a suit from court, and be described as a "Father," "Son," and/or "Man."  ]]> 2023-03-03 18:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2502952605 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2502973698 There are many female content creators who actively choose to pass up on potentially millions of dollars by not creating pornographic content of themselves. They choose to cultivate a platform off of themselves as people, rather then allowing men to objectify them. 

However, in what I interpret as a disgusting blend of misogyny and infatuation, men have created fake nude images of popular female content creators for their own sick pleasure. Sex is a form of power, and there are men who simply cannot handle the fact that a women who they find attractive would refuse to make herself sexually available to him. Creating these fake images without a woman's consent is a twisted way of taking the power away from a successful woman and giving it back to themselves.

Not only is this type of content a violation of consent, it is also extremely damaging the victim's mental health. It can also jeopardize their careers, as many of these images look very real and could be mistaken for a legitimate image.

Despite the horrifying nature of the assault, Turner only spent 6 months in a county jail for his crimes. Turner's father told the judge during the trial that his son should not spend 20 years in jail for "20 minutes of fun." That fun, of course, being raping an unconscious Chanel Miller behind a dumpster, where upon being found he fled from the scene, leaving Chanel injured and traumatized and the 2 students who found her deeply shaken.

Miller's memoir discusses her healing, as well as how sexual assault survivors are treated by college campuses and the courts.  

Turner was a 19-year-old white man and a  swimmer at Stanford at the time from a well-off family. Miller is a Chinese woman with immigrant parents.     ]]> 2023-03-06 18:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2505634773 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2509087366 🎶 You're a sour little boy
With a fragile masculinity

The song LEMONS is about dealing with a toxic man in your life, and how men will often times steamroll a woman's feelings in favor of serving their own ego. It also alludes to how women are often physically and/or emotionally abused when they try to stand up to a man. Women are expected by society to put up with sensitive men, to manage his emotions for him, and to put her own feelings aside to take care of him. ]]> 2023-03-08 18:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2509087366 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2523974901 This TikTok is by a man (Thomas Bishop) complaining about what  he claims is the "Coddling of Men" in out culture. 

He discusses how conversations about reproductive rights and abortion are always focused on what women should be doing, and never men. How male dating coaches always focus on what women should be doing to attract and keep a man, and not what men should be doing to improve themselves to be in a long-term relationship. He talk about how women discuss owning a gun for safety and protection, while men seem to focus on it as a right they should have to own whatever they want. 

Thomas articulates that he, as a man himself, has benefitted from this mindset and coddling of men's feelings.

There are some inclines that are difficult to navigate, there is often ice or snow in walkways, and not all buildings have good access for wheelchair users, etc. 

Furthermore, not all classes offer Zoom/online options, which can be an issue for those with chronic illnesses, people who are homebound, and even people who simply sustained an injury and cannot navigate campus.    ]]> 2023-03-20 17:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2524041334 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2546447256 I believe this song is a form of feminist praxis because it is an expression of rage against traditional women's roles in society.

After women were pushed away from the workplace after the war, their constant fight to be appreciated and given fair positions in the workplace (many were relegated to "Pink Collar" jobs) still inspires so many women today to fight for what we want. We fight for a life outside the confines of a household in their honor. ]]> 2023-04-06 16:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2546454953 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2546458984 Back in 2018 when Victoria Secret executives explained why they would not allow trans-women or plus-size women to be Angels because they couldn't "sell the [male] fantasy," many women began boycotting the brand to protest their transphobia and fatphobia. ]]> 2023-04-06 16:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2546458984 camrynanderson3 https://padlet.com/camrynanderson3/nt0tob88pghx1i0x/wish/2546468858 At the beginning of the year, there was a man spewing religious hatred that was rooted in purity culture and Patriarchy, harassed two Muslim students for wearing hijabs, and was being generally racist, homophobic, etc. He had also been arrested for multiple times, one of which was for attempted murder of his ex-wife.
