1. Compare and contrast two of the stream of feminist though presented in this unit. Which of the feminisms do you find most compelling? Why?
2. Are women really lower in status and power than men, or sis their status and power merely different? Support your answer with examples.
3. One of the criticisms of feminism is that it is insensitive to cultural differences, and seeks to impose upon non-Western cultures a Western concept of gender equality. Is this a valid criticism? Why, or why not?
I plan on doing number three. One is really easy so most people will being doing that one and Richelle will be tired of it by the time she reads mine and it may unintentionally effect my mark. Two is way too involved. I'll never finish it because I'll try to make it too elaborate. The thing with number three is simply that feminism is a Western concept so the very idea of bringing that kind of movement into a non-Western country is already imposing a Westernized concept of gender equality. There's no argument against it.
