GONE HOME

I decided to not play the game and just watch videos of other people playing it because I’m not much of a gamer. At first glance it seemed a little boring because it was so quiet and gloomy. What I learned from watching other play is that Katie had just arrived to her parents house and found out that no one was home. When she got there she found a letter from her sister and she had ran away from home and her parents were no where to be found. So Katie has to go all throughout the house to find clues about what happened. Her sister Sam expresses her personality changes through the 1990’s Riot Girl Movement.

A topic I would like to write about is gender stereotypes and how they affect us. Another topic that I am considering writing about is how gender roles affect children.

Something that calms me down and cheers me up is listening to music. Music is a very important part of my life. One of my favorite songs is called “Show Me Love” by Sam Feldt, if you would like to give it a listen.

Black Feminism

Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining difference

One quote that really caught my attention was at the very end of the passage which was, “Change means growth, and growth can be painful. But we sharpen self-definition by exposing the self in work and struggle together with those whom we define as different from ourselves, although sharing the same goals. For Black and white, old and young, lesbian and heterosexual women alike, this can mean new paths to our survival.” It is a very powerful quote. Although it doesn’t summarize the passage it was quite an interesting quote. What I believe the main purpose of the passage was to emphasize the harshness that black women go through.

The Combahee River Collective Statement

This passages main purpose was about a collective of black feminists since 1974. It was also about what they believed in, the problems they had, and projects they did.

So you want to talk about race

This video talks about the struggles and the good things she went through in her life.

Connection

The connection I saw was that they each had to deal with black women just in different ways.

Question

What is gender?

PINK AND BLUE

The article the “Prism Gender” it says that most people in the western world are grown up learning that there are only two genders, two sexes, and two sexualities. This type of thinking is known as the “blue and pink syndrome” It is how honestly I grew up relating blue to a boy and pink to a girl.

key words:sex, gender, sexuality

MULTIRACIAL FEMINISIM

The author explains how men and women have the same rights but multiracial women don’t have the same advantages as a middle class woman.It goes to speak on about Latinas, African Americans, Asian Americans , and Native Americans as known as being “outsiders within”.

I feel like these two readings are connected because they talk about how feminism has been around and it is still around in a huge way today.

Question: How do you feel feminism has changed over the years?
