Just because feminists stand up for equal rights for women, doesn't mean other people should shame them. Connecting this to class, women have had to work for where they are today and now just because the term "feminists" labels them, it shouldn't make them feel ashamed. People should be able to embrace what they stand up for and believe and be able to call themselves a feminist without people only seeing the negative connotation. ]]> 2017-01-27 03:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/149798242 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/149798732 This article has some of the best signs from the women's march this past weekend.

You cannot step out of these boundaries and norms without being judged. In class we read and looked at the "Act  Like a Man Box" article. It talked about how boys and men are judged and even abused because they are stepping out of the "box". For example, a man has to stay strong and show no emotion. If he shows emotions, he gets made fun of and gets called fag or weak. Unfortunately it is not just a male thing.

Women in a way have their own box. In class we had to make our own examples of boxes. My example was the Russian dolls and how every layer gets smaller and smaller but there is always a layer of what you can say or do. There are different layers of what you can say or do to have an acceptable behavior in society]]> 2017-02-06 00:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/151703014 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/151708957 Men and women are both limited to actions outside of the box because they are ridiculed for not being in the norms. ]]> 2017-02-06 02:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/151708957 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/151724142 This diagram shows the way men and women should think when really it isn't the case for everyone.]]> 2017-02-06 06:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/151724142 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/151724553 Just lately, gender reveal parties have become very popular.

This was a more difficult topic to grasp. There are many things that people don't think about on a daily basis that are considered as privileges. For example, in class we made lists to show what kind of privileges each individual has. On my list I had that I was white, I have access to medical care, I am enrolled in a University, and that I have parents with resources that I can use if necessary. These privileges are a big part of my everyday life and it isn't something that I think about everyday. 

A lot of people don't think about the privileges in their life. They range from race, sex, marriage, and even family. Another thing in class this week that really stood out to me was the white privilege video we watched that talked about this black woman's sister in law that is half white and that she stood up to a cashier when the black woman and her daughter were clearly being discriminated against and then her sister in law came up and used her wite privilege to stand up for her in the store.

To me, the concept connects somewhat to privilege. It has to do with race, gender, ethnicity, and class. Intersectionality also has to do with hegemonic feminism. This means that you should be thinking like a white middle class women. In class we looked at the yoga class articles to show us what intersectionality really is. 

At first when reading the white woman's article I didn't really think of it in an intersectional way. I just thought of it as the white woman describing her yoga class and the only black woman. Then I read the article from a black woman's perspective and it really opened my eyes. It showed how the white woman was basically attacking the black women in her head. These articles really put intersectionality into perspective for me.  ]]> 2017-03-01 02:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156912947 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156914123 This picture shows what different categories intersectionality breaks down into. ]]> 2017-03-01 02:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156914123 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156914264 If women would all be non-judgmental, we could do a lot more as a group of women. ]]> 2017-03-01 02:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156914264 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156914780 This article talks about how women and girls of color need to stop being left in the shadows of others. ]]> 2017-03-01 02:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156914780 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156915871 2017-03-01 03:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/156915871 brittany_miraldi https://padlet.com/brittany_miraldi/ucej8vdtvqvc/wish/161008628 Feminist praxis is about being part of a movement and showing people that there is something wrong and that something can be done to stop the problem.
