“A Day without Feminism” Response

After rendering A daytime without Feminism, I literally said aloud, Wow, Ive taken so many things for granted. Im pretty sure my roommate thinks Im irrelevant for this sudden outburst, but it really shocked me to see how far the wo handss movement has taken our society in such a bypass amount term. In the last paragraph, the move is asked Has feminism changed our lives? The answer to that question is yes. I grew up attending a child-care center, playing in low League, and taking the classes that every champion in my class took whether male or female.Nancy Drew and the braw Boys were what we standardisedd to call grandma books. I won two softball game State Championships on the varsity level. I took pre-calculus and calculus, while planning promenade and decorating the gym. Girls and young women DO create sex while theyre unmarried (on a pretty frequent basis too). When I make a trip the gynecologist, she al way of lifes tells me the side effects of my birth control choi ces. seldom a day goes by without hearing of another girl whos decided to explore the lesbian lifestyle. With this being said its go by the world I inhabit barely resembles the world these women were born into. few of these situations that took place scarcely down the stairs forty years ago look comp allowely outrageous. Its really grave to believe women actually let things like this happen. Examples that stick out in my mind the most implicate women being strapped down and lying down, made to strike the child against staidness for the doctors convenience and a charr going under the knife to see if she has breast cancer and waking up to let on that the choice (Halsted mastectomy) has been made for her. The conditions of my childhood compared to things like this happening add an boilersuit shock effect in this reading.Although there is such a ample shock effect present, I do not feel as if Baumgardner and Richards wanted the shock to overwhelm the reader in a way that seem ed outrageous, but they wanted make the reader realize that it would be below the belt to consider these advancements as privileges. Privileges are advantages gained usually as a resoluteness of wealth or well-disposed status, not something fought hard to earn. Its unjust that we (women) are constantly made to feel that we should be thankful for the social changes that have taken place over the last century. These rights should have never been an issue.They shouldve just been a pull up stakes of our daily lives, as they were for males. Baumgardner and Richards ask the questions in the second paragraph Is feminism defunct? and Do we need brand-new strategies? I feel like the spirit of feminism isnt dead at all. One milestone, which sticks out clearly in my mind as part of the feminist movement, took place just a short time ago. This milestone occurred around the time that Hilary Clinton entered herself into the race for presidency. It was one of those mountains a woman neede d to climb and Hilary Clinton was the first do so. Im unimpeachably not trying to put Hilary Clinton on a high pedestal.I realize there are many other women who have through phenomenal things over the past thirty years, but its just one major example in the progress of feminism I have noticed in my short eighteen years on earth. To answer the second question, I dont feel like the strategies need to be changed. With writings such as A Day without Feminism floating around and women running for presidency and vice-presidency, I have no doubt that feminism will remain alive until the final goal has been reached. In conclusion, it is essential for us to see change is part of every history and culture.The feministic changes that have been made in the United States were required and there is still a lot left to do. After reading A Day without Feminism its clear to see our mothers and grandmothers worked hard to make sure we would we would someday reach an even plateau with men and its o ur job to make sure the same is true for coming(prenominal) women raised in this country. We should celebrate our female foremothers who had the vision that we should have more. Women have fought for everything we have and we need to continue to the good fight so that one day women will no longer need to fight this fight.
