Sexism & Patriarchy

Present in class:
My Process of information presented on June 18 th class

I totally enjoyed the actions of just waking up and envisioning the day as is and then imagining we were of the opposite gender and re visioning the runnings of the day! It definitely is a good ice breaker to get conversation started. It made me rethink how engraved sexism is in our society even in American society. Of course the classic very public example is our presidential race this year. I to some extent had the real people's views when I was working.
The sociological definitions opened my eyes to view what I read with caution, and to rethink anything before I speak, and wow I realized how much more we people need to progress.

My thoughts is in order for society to change the sexism and Patriarchy we as women [or the primary care giver of a new born child very consciously need to raise boy babies differently] We have been doing an OK job of empowering the "girl babies" but unless we enlighten the boys right from infancy we cannot balance and change [from a dualistic thinking to a plural optional out of the box thinking] the playing field to "level it" !

Both the presenters were great the exercise about vicariously noticing the white privilege seems not true, but really it is happening even now. On the other hand I must say that major positive changes in dealing with tough issues are being also being initiated by the progressive "white powerful people". So even if we all want to change what we feel is wrong one needs not only the heart and energy but one needs to have or know people in power!

So my motto is
"never give up for a cause you believe in" just go for it selflessly and you will progress"
Have a great day! Smile :-)
