Post on Today's Class

I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed the videos we watched in class. Each speaker were feminists and strong women’s rights activists but they each touched up on different topics. They each touched upon different topics which were all very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed Isabel Allende’s speech. She brought to our attention of her successes, on how she had written and published many books but didn’t get ‘recognized’ or categorized as ‘cool’ until she was hand-picked to hold the flag in the Olympics. It is sad but true!  Most people are unrecognizable until they are seen by the public on the media. Which, after listening to the last speech, I realize that the media is mildy ‘twerking’ their news reports when there is a woman involved. It is absurd to say that a girl that was raped was at fault because she ‘wore makeup’ and was ‘asking for it’.

Closing this blog post I’d like to share my favorite quote from the clips:

“Men run the world and look at the mess we have”

            -Isabel Allende
