Suggestion/Thoughts
Ok, I know I'm going to get a lot of feedback for saying this but, I feel like this class is just a hate group sometimes. It really bothers me to hear everyone complain about how womens rights are so bad. I honestly don't feel like I'm less than men right now. It's like everyone is complaining about how things were so bad instead of looking at the positive side, and how we are treated now. In some ways right now we have more rights than men. I know this class is supposed to look at the past and discuss how women were treated, but maybe we could do it in a more upbeat kind of way so it doesn't sound like complaining. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but I think it would be easier to listen to discussion if it didn't sound so much like complaining.Thanks!

I totally agree with you!. I also feel like it is sort of an "honor" to actually have a guy in the class, and to sit there and basically gang up on his own opinion was just wrong. I enjoy the class a lot but I feel like a lot of people are also getting offended when we talk about the past, I agree that they should look at the future now since it isn't like that at all anymore. And everyone who does get mad should just be thankful that it isn't that way.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is of course entitled to their own opinion; just as you feel this way, others might feel that understanding the past is important or might have actually experienced discrimination in their own lives.
ReplyDeleteMy main question as a professor is: can you support your arguments with more specific points, or examples? It's very general. These blogs are yours and it's good that you're expressing your opinion; from an intellectual standpoint, I'm asking you to be specific, not general (I think this will help to ground all of us in class as well)
