I have always thought of myself as a liberal minded feminist. Going into this class I thought I knew the basics of feminist thoughts and theories. Throughout the semester I have learned so much more about gender, women and sexuality studies, and the thoughts and theories involved. In the readings and lectures I have learned about dualisms and Johnson’s 5 part theory, along with many other ideas. Though some were not new to me I have never thought about in depth. This class made me look more in depth to what I see and hear in real life. I enjoyed having such a diverse class of thinkers; it gave different ways of looking at what we learned. It was interesting reading the articles, because they were so diverse. I have rarely read articles from 20th century authors of color and authors of diverse sexual orientation. It helped me understand many points of views and made me want to learn more. I feel that before this class I was not as educated about the ideas from people like Lorde or Anzaldua and how they view their oppression. After this class I want to read more articles from author like Lorde and Anzaldua, because it’s a great way to learn about feminist thoughts and ideas. Realizing how much has changed from the early 20’s for women is amazing, but what is also amazing is how much still needs to change. Just by looking at adds or listening to people speak I can still see that women are treated way differently than men. Though I would have no desire to live in the twenties there are aspects of 2008 that I can’t stand and I think must change soon. With this class I feel like I have the insight and tools to do something and in the future I am going to do my best to try to change something about society. I really enjoyed this class, so I have to give mad props to Rebecca and Katie for making this class exciting, fun and educational. Rebecca and Katie have also inspired me to choose GWSS as a minor.
