I do agree that queer is more of the source than it is as the as the destination because that is where it all started. Queer was the "umbrella term" it is what made them safe before they decided to take a leap of faith and support themselves rather than waiting for anyone to do it for them.

Growing up I actually new queer as the analytic framework that the artist stated. I just know lesbian and gays which is considered as homosexual and I thought/looked at queers as people who dress like the opposite gender.

When the author uses the term "umbrella term", does that mean that queer was a safe word for those who were sensitive to the word "gay" "homosexual" ?

With women preserving existing state hours then extending them to men they’re basically just taking their power back. It wasn’t for in the first place that everyone has to work to survive, everyone deserves to have a life to live and that’s all.

In the playboy business it seems to be a lot of degrading women. first of all the fact that you would be judged based off of the length of your suit should say enough. But also the fact when Woman began to age .. Playboy will basically give them the boot so it goes to show that no one really appreciates or I should say no one at that time in that company really appreciated women.

Wolfgang know what she was doing when she brought Hugh Hefner with her to the bargaining table. unfortunately, she knew that with a man on her side she will be more respected than respected at all if she was to approach this all by herself

It is unfortunate that this is what happens to most of the oldest communities because of the fact that they want to use our resources for themselves but also take it away completely from them. All of the machines and new technology that are being used it requires less manual work physically from workers so now the other problem that is created from this, is everyone trying to find a way to make money.

This is showing the big dreams and hopes that everyone has when they come to the US. I'd like to fuck how the author uses figurative language to her appropriate culture by seeing their soccer balls because that is their number one sport in that culture.

From the stanza I am getting the visualization or figurative language that something is vanishing away. Cliffs crumbling into the sea, that goes to show that everything is going downhill and to me it's solely represents them losing a part of themselves because that is their homeland.

I agree with the point that the author is trying to make when it comes to The mention of the world trade center. how is it fair to those who have passed away from that horrible incident only thinking before that they were just having a regular day at work. is this it is this what we work eight hours a day, 40 hours a week for, just for us to accidentally die?

Everyone considers America to be the land of the free, but nothing is free at all. People come to this country hoping that they will get the biggest opportunity of their lives but unfortunately most of them just end up working for the rest of their lives some even under minimum wage. so going against the country to get what we deserve might be the only thing left to do.

The mother is doing what most women do that is considered in severe “gender roles”, which included them getting the house together before everyone wakes up to get ready for the day. she considers it the most peace she has ever known because that is the only time she probably gets to her self and even though it is her alone time she’s doing something to service other people.

I personally like how Kimberlè wanted to recollect with the audience after the TED talk to see if they remembered the black woman’s name. This can show how affected her speech was in terms of wanting to spread awareness of police brutality against colored black woman.

It is unfortunate that the ones who are supposed to be helping are now becoming corrupted such as the lawyer that dealt with Emma, how is it fair that her case got dismissed just because of the color of her skin and her gender? She wanted to take a stand for herself, she wanted to fight for what’s right and it’s so disappointing that someone of the law had to be so ignorant about this.

Gender does play a huge part into knowing about these victims that passed away from police brutality because majority of the people who even control everything basically or men. So if another male is being harmed, that is more important to them rather than another female being harmed. Also this is what disables awareness because we cannot fix everything that they are not informing all of us about.

The man who is cycling on the bike simply looks to the author as nothing but an object. And that ties back to feminism being such a tough pill for men to swallow because we are the same as them, we feel the same feelings that they feel, we are all humans. So for this man to have the audacity to sexually harass the author and just completely go on with the rest of his day with no resentment literally shows why we are advocating for feminism in the first place.

I agree that feminism does start from a sensation. it starts from the sensation of not wanting to be walked all over again and just simply feeling like your own person that no one can control you like a puppet and that you do not have to be submissive to anyone. so when speaking to a feminist you do have to come correct.

Feminism does bother a lot of people and it does cause a lot of disturbance because it is a conversation that a lot of people are not ready for. Feminism is all about conquering the egos of men and having everyone on the same level and that is why they are having a hard time accepting what is fair rather than how things normally are.

I agree that feminist change has already changed all of our lies in a positive way because without it happening who was going to pick up the slack when fathers leave a mother alone with her child? and that’s what people fail to notice feminism stemmed from all of our struggles that we had no choice to pick up ourselves not from us being power hungry.

I believe that they tell her that she is different because of the gentle approach that she takes. Women are so used to having to defending themselves when it comes to them fighting for themselves, so most feminist advocate do have the aggressive approach but that is only so that they can be heard because in reality that is what the same things that men do, be aggressive.

Many will say that feminist ““hate men because of the fact that we simply do not need dumb and society has made it norm for men eagles to be big enough to feel as if we are not anything without them. we are simply taking back what is also ours which is our power in our dignity. Men put them self on this pedestal where they automatically feel that they are the head of everything but it is us come on woman who am I opinion… Are the most powerful.

The person better to lead is a woman because we think with our minds rather than our physical power. That is why the mind is the strongest muscle and that is why a man cannot be more important than a woman. We are the brains behind the masterpiece.

It is perplexing that the clerk assumed that the man payed instead of her. Why can’t men accept the fact that women can be and will be independent ? Why is it “normal” for a man to take care of a woman while she lives under his rule and doesn’t make a penny for herself?

People always think of the word “feminist” as a negative word because of history’s going of women wanting power and equality. Only some people can understand how things can really be , everyone on the same level. So when a woman says she’s a feminist , that is why men get so defensive.

There is no thin line between gender and sex split in your lifetime, but there is a thin line as what separates them. Growing up in school, I was never even taught that there is a difference between the two. From my understanding, gender is adapted meanwhile sex is given.

I can see where the author is going with this the gist that us as kids, we absorb basically everything around us. I can connect this part to a video I watched that stated kids who are raised in LGBTQ household, have a high chance of being a part of the LGBTQ community once older.

"Just that the way things are" is sort of manipulating because if someone thinks outside the box, everyone looks at them as "weird". It is important to study deeper into gender because there are questions about a lot of things.

I agree that this is a big cultural shift because the "norm" is beginning to change into something different. Transgenders are now honestly (in my opinion) are fitting in just great because of the resources that are now available to them, allows them to perfectly look like their desired gender.

I am honestly surprised to hear about this, but when I sit and think about it .... why not? If using a female bathroom is allowed, then they should surely allow to participate in a beauty pageant.

Makes you go back to think about how times have really changed up to now. "Lock us onto a course" society made it normal for us to live our lives as we were "destined" when we come out the womb.
