Feminism???

Well I interviewed my mother for this assignment. I really wanted to interview my mother because I like hearing about how she grew up. My mother’s first experience to gender was when she experience small social events out of her elementary school because she went to all girl school her whole life. So to see boys dressed not in a uniform really caught her eye to her first experience for gender. Number 2 history with feminism? My mother mentioned she was sort of young but she does remember a lot of women standing up for their rights and women were seen shouting at many different places. Number 3 Definite feminism, my mother simply stated it’s about women being just as equal as men and nothing more. No matter the issues she believes women are just as equal as men in any aspect. After reading "Backlash" really opened my eyes to want most women went through then and now. I really didn’t open my eyes enough to see that these violent acts towards women were happing on a daily basis. I like reading "Backlash" because it gives me a greater aspect to women who are feminist and that really showed me now as today what feminist really stands for. YOU HAVE TO EARN!!!! And I like the women who will not step down until they reach their goals. After interviewing my mother is made me realize I haven't had a time where gender was an issue for me. With gender I think times have changed and gender is not a big issue in my everday life. Times when my mother raised gender was a big issue and now women stand for more than being domestic, they fight for what they believe and in my opinion I think women should be allowed any opportunity a man would.
