  2. 3 Adaptations of Critical Thinking 1. Analyze Traditions2. Probe Contradictions & Injustices3. Multiplicity of Perspectives

  3. What is Feminism? Webster: 1: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes 2: organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests (Merriam-Webster) Sam Killermann from Everyday Feminism defines feminism this way: Feminist means “person who believes people should have equitable places in society regardless of their gender.” (Killermann)

  4. What is Feminism? Everyday Feminism (from the article Why Everyday Feminism is for Everyone) Feminism strives to end the discrimination, exploitation, and oppression of people due to their gender, sexual orientation, race, class, and other differences and supports people in being free to determine their own lives for themselves. It supports us in questioning what we’ve been taught about forcing people into traditional roles and valuing some groups less than others. It helps us to understand why some people hate, abuse, exploit, discriminate, and silence certain individuals and communities. It helps us stand up against oppression and demand justice. By engaging in feminist thinking and action, we can free ourselves to make meaningful choices in how we live our lives and pursue what makes us happy and fulfilled as human beings. (Kim)

  5. “The goal of feminism is to create a society in which individuals’ genders don’t restrict them from an equitable shot at success and happiness.” (Killermann)

  6. Do we still need feminism?

  8. “Women who usually worked full time had median weekly earnings of $692, or 79.1 percent of the $875 median for men.” (Bureau of Labor Statistics) “Women with a Bachelor’s degree earn less over 15 years than men with a high school diploma or less.” (Fitzpatrick)

  9. Women can change the workplace for the better: Definition: Non-pecuniary: not consisting of money (Merriam-Webster) Google’s Zurich Office:

  10. Women can change the workplace for the better: “…Companies that have achieved rough gender parity in their leadership teams perform dramatically better—as much as 84 percent better—than those companies with no gender parity.” (Theus) “…Leaders need to tell the majority of men in corporate life that they also need to change, and allow new and different styles of leadership to move in — and up.” (Wittenberg-Cox)

  11. “According to a report by non-governmental organization Save The Children, in countries with longer periods of parental leave, children were found to be breastfed for longer and their life expectancy was higher.” (The Huffington Post Canada)

  12. I looked up the ideal woman on Google Images and this was the first image:

  13. “What is sexual in one context may not be so in another: an experience becomes sexual by application of socially learned meanings.” (Caplan 2)

  16. “They’re out there protesting what they actually wish would happen to them sometimes.”~Rush Limbaugh, on women who protest against sexual harassment, The Rush Limbaugh Show, April 26, 2004 “The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement” Pat Robertson “Feminism has wreaked havoc on marriage, women, children and men. It is time to redress the disorder it has wrought and that must start with getting the principles and ideals for a new "masculinism" right.” Seminar description, "the New Masculinity," on the Family Research Council website

  17. “This year, results indicate that stay-at-home moms would earn a base salary of $36,968 plus $78,464 in overtime, totaling $115,432. According to the survey, the typical stay-at-home mom works almost 97 hours a week, spending 13.2 hours as a day-care teacher; 3.9 hours as household CEO; 7.6 hours as a psychologist; 14.1 hours as a chef; 15.4 as a housekeeper; 6.6 hours doing laundry; 9.5 hours as a PC-or-Mac operator; 10.7 hours as a facilities manager; 7.8 hours as a janitor and 7.8 hours driving the family Chevy.” (Goudreau)
