What do you think of ecofemisnism before you read, and
after? Did you have any strong reactions? What do forms of dominance do you see
in the world around you?
What I first thought about ecofemisnism was that it was just
a bunch of older women who were very uptight and thought everything that
happened was in some way being offensive to women. It’s sad that I thought that,
but it’s what I have developed throughout the years as the ecofeminism way.
Now, after reading and seeing the video, I think that it is a wonderful,
helpful, and inspiring thing. People everywhere are suffering and a lot of
women have no rights at all. Being in America is one thing, but looking at
other third world countries and seeing some things the women and even young
girls have to deal with is very sad. I really want to watch the documentary ‘Half
the Sky’ now because I think its very inspiring and has a lot of good points a
lot of people don’t know about. Watching a commercial of it really opened up my
eyes and made me want to do something. Forms of dominance I see in the world
today would be with certain races and women in the world. A lot of women are
still paid less than men and that’s looked at as a normal thing. Women are more
likely to go to college than men and this shows the dramatic turn women are
taking and how powerful they really are.
