Female Chauvinist Pigs.
I would recommend Female Chauvinist Pigs for a future calss because it brings up so many topics that aren't really talked about in the midwest. It has so much information it is hard to keep up with which is why I am happy that it's the last book we read. Before reading ht ebook, I didn't know much about feminism, or that there are many types. I think that feminism is a subject that people should talk about. Female Chauvinisn Pigs is the perfect book for it.

In paper 4, Rhiannon and I are addressing the issue of anorexia. Our audience will be young women. We will create an inspirational poster/display board with quotes and things to let the young women know that they are fine the way they are. We will also have a brochure with the health risks to let them know exactly what they are doing to their bodies. We hope to change the minds of young women that are currently anorexic, and to prevent ones that have allowed to thought of anorexia to cross their minds. Hopefully we will be able to find true stories of women that have suffered anorexia to tell about how they overcame it.

Feminism
1) What is feminism?
2) Do they consider themselves feminists? Why or why not?
3) What are women's issues and interests that feminists would be considered with?
4) What stereotypes do others categorize feminists?
5) Is there a need for feminism today? Why or why not?
1. What is feminism: equal opportunity to all women AND men, knowing that you can choose to be a mom, wife, full time worker and/or all of the above. It's about not being labeled a woman as a negative, you can't do something, mentality
2. Do you consider yourself feminists? why? Yes, I do. I believe in the freedom of choice no matter what gender, and I believe in fair treatment of each person no matter their gender.
3.What are womens issues and interests that feminists would be considered with? Equal pay, women in the military (in combat situations), working mom issues like daycare.
4. What sterotypes do others categorize feminists? They are bitches, "feminazis" man haters.
5. Is there a need for feminism today? why or Why not? things are so different for your generation vs Grandma Evans' generation. Consider the fact that at 20 she already had three kids and your grandma was on the way. She didn't have the same choices for school, working, marriage, etc. I think because of the feminist movement of the 60's and 70's you have choices that are even different from mine. The question whether there is a "need" for it now is hard because YES there is, but that's just because I don't want things to revert. It's like saying should we still have Civil Rights issues. Really, all of that should still be fixed, but that's nearly impossible to do, but if we can't fix the problems, let's not forget that they are there, and if we didn't have feminists, then I think we would forget there are a lot of problems, still, with equal rights
1) women have equal rights 2) I dont think femenists consider themselves feminists, because its been taken out of context 3) Im not sure i quite understand the question? but women think they deserve equal rights and are indivduals and do not have to answer to any man, which would the same as a femenist. 4) Femenist are stereotyped to hate men and to be overly opinionated. 5) I believe that women have equal rights today, but I still dont consider having femenists a bad thing, because we are still obligated by society
1. A feminism is the movement for women's rights, wether it be economic, political or social, attaining equlity to men.
2. No I do not consider my self a feminist. There are some things in this world that I think are better left to men. (Opening doors, doing the laundry... if all women were fiminists, there would be no romance in the world....)
3. Issues usually are job equality, pay scale, opportunities. Housing seems to be a big issue these days. It is tough for a single mother to get a loan to buy a house for example.
4. Stereotypes would include such things as agry men haters, and in the past it was even said that most feminists were lesbians. Today it's more like stong willed women that do not depend on a man to get ahead in the world. Taking care of ones self should not stereotype a woman as a feminist.
5. I do think there is a need for feminism today, to a point. Socioty will not allow women to get too far, but yet with most marriages failing these days, it is up to the women to take care of the family core. Values of struggle seem to carry on from one generation to the next. Keeping a family unit together is what a woman puts first. But in the end, it's her and the kids against the world. Women have to stand up and be noticed in order to get anywhere., all is not equal, now or ever.
