The Long Fight for a female president was disheartening and inspiring. I still cannot fathom how we haven't gotten there yet, but I am proud of women for continuing to fight. Especially when there was little possibility of them winning.

Black women have been at the forefront of social change, but their contributions are often overlooked. They have relentlessly fought for voting rights. We need to keep amplifying their voices and making sure their stories are recognized as a core part of history.

Felt validated by the death of the girlboss. I have felt for a while that 'girlbosses' were just embodying misogyny and uplifting capitalism. Playing by the same rules to get ahead, instead of opening doors and changing industries. Capitalism is enticing and many want money, status, and success.

Nothing like the audacity of men. Male US SENATORS needed to preserve their "right" to swim nude at the expense of female senators having their right to use the pool at all...up until 2008 no less. Sounds about right. "The Secret History of Women in the Senate" was interesting.

The New York Times article was a bit more inspiring. I enjoyed reading about the potential changes in the structure of work. I think employers need to see employees (all gender identities) as human beings outside of their work. Happy to see that men are prioritizing family and working less hours.

Just need to say, I found this quote annoying "women provided a flexible, cheap and adaptive workforce..." How inspiring.

Enraged by the Gothamist article. Perfect example of our government, healthcare industry/ corporations shifting all responsibility onto the people. A healthy society cares for their disabled and elderly, through policy that allows for family to have time off, financial relief and healthcare...

The feminization of poverty is just another example of why we should approach societal issues from a feminist perspective. Care workers are essential to a healthy society, what will it take for us to understand and value them (through fair treatment and wages) appropriately?

Applaud the idea of highlighting the value of unpaid domestic labor in the Business Insider article about the woman suing her husband for back pay. Capitalism prioritizes property ownership and capital instead of labor. Women typically suffer most, because they are doing the bulk of unpaid labor.

The declining demand for husbands' article was written in 2013, but I find myself so intrigued by the studies being done that indicate women married to men are the least happy. Men married to women are healthier and happier on average according to these studies. I think this says it all.

Observing gender dynamics in same sex relationships highlights the absurdity of assigning household tasks to certain gender identities. There are no male or female tasks when it comes to caring for our homes and running our lives. There are also no gendered hobbies or leisure activities.

I hate the premise of The Guardian article. It is however something that I have sadly considered. Men are not generally socialized to care for others; it is very evident. The reasonable deduction is that they will not be primed to care in times of significant distress, which is terrifying.

I liked the exploration of "involved fatherhood" in Gersons chapter. I honestly find that parenting (especially at the modern level of expectation) is not facilitated by work places for any gender. It is interesting to hear it discussed as a dilemma for fathers specifically instead of just mothers.

The influence of language and labelling is apparent in the PBS article. I was left feeling like I need more information on the terms "Hetero" vs "homo" sexual after reading. Interesting to learn that "hetero" was actually pathologized first. Terminology is always shifting.

I found the psychology today statistics on sex to be interesting. Teen sex being down, but casual adult sex being up. I don't think the article really came up with any meaningful reasons for these changes. I find that religion being less impactful is an interesting possibility.

The Conversation article on men feeling more objectified by zoom video, vs women made me so curious. I would love to do a research project to determine whether men really felt differently than women. I do feel that I generally assume I am being observed in all settings. Do men feel differently?

I agree that we should not have a double standard in regard to objectifying men. I personally have never subscribed to this mindset, and specifically wondered about media such as the "Magic Mike" franchise. I am opposed to objectifying any/all humans regardless of sex or gender.

Another example of the assertion of control over women and their bodies. I have tried to understand why anyone would agree with the complete ban of abortion and the absolute ONLY reason I can come up with is control, obviously. The Nat Geo article highlights the history of abortion laws well.

Found the cut article exhausting. Does anyone else find it all so confusing? How does a person protect their image, identity, intellectual property when everything is online and accessible. This conversation about ownership of images or work, seems to be happening very publicly mainly to women.

I believe the research from the Conversation article. I notice feeling negative emotions after reading objectifying comments on social media towards other women. This amplifies my concerns for the mental health of young teens using social media and being exposed to this daily.

The Psych Today article touched on changes in attitudes towards sex. The way people (particularly Americans) socialize has caused adjustments to how we view intimacy, as well as our ability to build close relationships in person. This would inevitably impact attitudes towards sexual relationships.

What a time to be taking a course on the sociology of gender. We are watching these arguments play out in the federal government and throughout the country now. The WSJ article on replacing the gender binary in sports had several interesting points on this topic.

"How to Build a City for Women" video was just another example of how accommodating women (real humans who constitute half of the population, sometimes this is overlooked), benefits everyone. Safer streets, more walkable cities, easier access to restrooms. No one suffers; everyone wins!

I found the end of "The Mrs. Degree" article to be very thought provoking. Investigating the link between the privatization of all higher education and the far-reaching consequences on gender and class equality is important.

I can see where Greek life and certain aspects of party culture may influence women towards embracing gender complementarity. When the goal is to be attractive for men when going out, it can be easy to fall prey to that cultural norm.
