For me gender justice means that everyone gets the same respect and opportunities regardless of their gender. It isn't just about male/female equality, but ending gender as existing as a categorical reason to be discriminated against. I'd like to see the concept of gender to open up, from the simple binary of man or woman to include bending, overlapping, transformative queer identities. The idea of justice based on gender doesn't make as much sense when gender is seen as an essential inherent trait.
I don't really know what I'm going to do to use what I've learned in this class. I hope to somehow work got social justice, but am not presently involved in anything. I guess I'll just keep on living and writing and try to create discussion around me.
