Once again it is video time! (To be fair the last minute or so of the video is unrelated to this.) This one here discusses a few of the things we have discussed in class. Ursa discusses women objectification in the media, how the media wants women to objectify THEMSELVES, a TINY bit of gender identity, and Third Wave Feminism and Legally Blonde! Yay!
It feels like a lot of people have said this but, yes, Elle Woods is a fairly good role model for girls. She likes fashion!, and pink!, and is Girlie! But is also driven, smart, and capable. Of course the movie has its not so perfect moments. But over all is pretty great, for women. As Ursa points out there are lots of women, doing lots of things. Third Wave Feminism, "Girlie" Feminism, means we (for this sentence women) can wear heels or Chuck Taylors and still stand up for the same things. Those things being equality of the genders in areas such as pay and media representation. Yay.
