Recommended: Addressing sexism and gender roles in the mass media
I was very surprised in the podcast when Dr. Grossman states that it is okay for people in the science world to cry- not just women, but also men. I actually do not hear a lot of stories about this topic in the news. I really thought that the part where Dr. Grossman talks about women like her being feminists and that they hate men was very amusing. Personally, I think women care about their rights as much as men do and do not hate them. I believe hate is a strong word in this context. Female scientists just do not like how people don’t give any thought to their ideas or have the men take credit for their ideas. I think that I really liked her message at the end also- people should all be excited about the scientific world. I actually agree
Terrance Hayes’ poem, Mr. T is about a 1980’s pop icon and it describes his place in African American history. The poem starts out describing Mr. T but it soon becomes stern when it asks serious questions and then answers mockingly about this pop icons absurdity.
Imagine if you had to pack up only a couple of your prized possessions and carry them around with you for months on end. This is the poem “Dead Swagman”.
Maurice Wilkins: This scientist is seen as somewhat sexist, because he does not believe in the potential of Rosalind’s scientific abilities. At the same time, he seemed to be dedicated to work, but Rosalind seems to do a majority of the work.
A writer’s choice of nouns and verbs alters the feel and meaning of a poem. A prime expel of this fact is in the Crowder Collage literature book, on page even hundred seventy-three, more topics for writing, number two. I chose the poem “When the Time’s Toxins,” by Christian Wiman, for the exercise.
In his novel, Cantor's Dilemma, Dr. Djerassi uses female characters to address sexist issues arising from women integrating into the predominantly male science world. The characters, Celestine Price and Professor Arderly, are used to show examples of how women have little voice in the field of science. The female characters suggest how women are often looked upon as sex objects rather than co-workers and they are given little opportunity to balance a scientific career with raising a family. By weaving these issues into his novel, Dr. Djerassi illustrates the following theme: Discrimination against women in the field of science is harmful to the progression of scientific exploration. If women are excluded from science, then an artificial limit is put on human resources. (The field of science will not utilize the potential female minds available.)
There was a lot of facts that supported the authors’ thesis which was that there has been changes for women over time but there is still room for progress and I completely agree. I believe that the authors were also feminist because in parts of the article were they explained inequality there were sarcastic tones towards the opposing arguments. Overall this paper has made me reevaluate my life and my thoughts on feminism honestly. Honestly, I was ignorant and did not have a well understanding of how hard life was for women and I am thankful that I am informed now. I have different view on feminism
If women lack intelligence and cannot be a scientist, then what should they be? If they can’t act intelligent, then how should they act? Woman should stick to their society roles and stay away from thinking the way a male is expected to think. A woman thinking scientifically is considered to be thinking like a man (Keller 77). Keller’s statement explains that science is considered to be a male subject. It is not appropriate for females to think scientifically. Women then begin to get treated differently because they are not meeting society’s
“A Story about the Body”, a prose poem by Robert Hass, is literally about a man who supposedly loves a woman but then finds out about her health conditions and then changes his mind. This poem, when I read it, was more like a short story than a poem. The poem uses imagery and a variety of adjectives which allow the reader to put themselves in the story as if they were watching it happen.
Thank you very much for the hospitality during Nick’s graduation week. We all had such a great time and are glad that the Goldman family could celebrate with us! It was great to see you again; may I remind you the Brave Old Army Team began a historic winning streak over Navy last time I was able to visit. We are all so excited to welcome Loren into our (sometimes crazy) family next year; it is easy to see where her personality and witty sense of humor originates. You all know how to have a great time!
Discuss how intertextuality allows Dobson’s poetry to resonate across time and place. In a society determined to identify and correct every one of the never ending inequalities and injustices of life, Rosemary Dobson provides an alternate perspective. Dobson’s poetry creates the concept of equal opportunity. This is the idea that in fact, everyone on Earth that has ever existed has been born into their lives with an equal and proportionate chance at achieving success and happiness, within their given circumstances.

Gerard Nanley Hopkins’ poem “God’s Grandeur”, illustrates the relationship connecting man and God. Hopkins uses alliteration and stern tone to compliment the religious content of this morally ambitious poem. The poem’s rhythm and flow seem to capture the same sensation of a church sermon. The diction used by Hopkins seems to indicate a condescending attitude towards society.
After years of being alone, the baby monkey became neurotic and definitely anti-friendly. Harry Harlow stated that every living creature needs mother’s unconditional love and utmost care; making a point that women’s great power is to love and feel things. His findings also state that men are just logical and they think to fix things. The YouTube video titled “Masculinity vs Femininity - Psychology Of The Male & Female Mind” by Leo puts forth a point about, men learn to deal with their pain logically and by ‘logically’ Leo means ‘shutting people out, being alone for hours’; women deal with their problems emotionally. Feminists need to accept this because that is how both the gender works like this from the moment they begin to form the brain in the womb. Surprisingly, the default brain of the child is feminine but the masculine brain is created due the sudden release of testosterone. This proves that, men can have a thought process similar to female and be feminine inside like Halle. Paul D tries to deal with it logically but feminists do not see him as a victim because he somehow handled with his trauma; well the sad truth is that the womenists want to believe that he handled it all. My survey named “Feminist Psychology” in Google Forms when shared and asked the people to answer 10 questions, one of the main questions was to
"God's Grandeur" is one of the few poems written by Hopkins during his service as a Roman Catholic priest. The poem shows Hopkins' love towards God and his love of sound.
Michael Levin, a professor of philosophy and author of the book Feminism and Freedom, faults feminism for trying to impose an inappropriate equality on men and women that conflicts basic biological differences between the sexes (Levin, Taking Sides, 42). Women are not the same as men, neither physically nor psychologically. In the past, men tended to be the stronger more powerful gender, while women have traditionally been viewed as the weaker, more feeble one. The untrue assumption that men and women are the same in their ways of thinking and physical capabilities leads to the failure of the feminist message. Their agenda of eliminating all observable differences between men and women is doomed to fail and will inflict more pain than gain in the process. Recognizing the differences between the sexes and allowing each to do what they are strongest at will in the long run make society stronger, more efficient, and more effective.
