As stated earlier in the choice survey, I simply said that the feminist/gender lens applied to everybody’s situation. But this project is to expand on that answer with a little more specification. We have all experienced some sort of sexist/gender discrimination; that so far is true. But what I think needs to be explored is the reasons behind that. Do parents implant the idea in their children’s minds at a young age that there is a structured order of everything; that this is what the men should be and what the women should be? When did these sexist views first begin to appear and develop? If so, I want to know these reasons because I’m sort of an advocate for societal equality. And if we could take it further, we would be able to take these sort of cases to public attention. I want to find the basis of these reasons and uproot some of them to even the playing field for the many stereotypes that are cliched or obsolete. My beliefs lie within my personal morality that the current gender discrimination should be diminished by half. I know it might be slightly addressed in this project but I will make the attempt to dig a little deeper. I did consider the marxist and society lens, but I found they weren’t too direct to my satisfaction. I chose this particular lens because I felt this reached everyone, and affected all groups.
