First Day of Class Video
Before this class, I had never studied any sort of feminism. I have brushed upon it slightly in one or two of my other classes in high school, but I really didn't know exactly what it was. After being educated on the subject, the people in the video that we saw on the first day of class seem extremely silly. I think a lot of the reason why their answers were so pitiful is because they are uneducated on the topic. I think when the word feminism comes up, men don't care and aren't interested because they think it is only for women and it does not affect them, so they choose not to learn about it. What they don't know is that it affect both genders and it is positive. A lot of them are probably even intimidated by it. I think spreading the word of what feminism really is will make feminism a more positive word.
Comments
I think my favorite guy from that video was the one that said something about how "they got their amendment in 1920" or something.
I do not know if I would be able to contain my laughter if someone said that to my face.

I'm right up the same ally with ya on the amount of feminism I've dealt with and learned about in school- not much at all. I also agree with you on that men don't care and aren't interested in feminism. I just think they are clueless and have no idea that even today we, us women, still are treated differently. Maybe we should dress up all our guy friends as chics for a day and see what happens. haha
