suggested research method

my suggested research method that i chose is a survey.  i plan to survey how young women my age feel about feminism and how much they really are in touch with feminism in their society.  i will give this survey out to my friends and see the results from them.

misogyny

this article from the Courtauldian outraged me. the entire article was written about how being misogynistic is a good thing and how that it is one of the unknown virtues.  if you do not know misogyny is the hatred, dislike or mistrust of women.  i find that this article was not only poorly written but also had no basis in today's society and while i support the right to freedom of speech i do not think that this article should have been allowed to published in a school newspaper where more than half the population is female. what actually shocked me more than the article was the comments. more then ninety percent of them were also outraged about how this man has no respect for women and thinks that out rights do not matter because of our gender.

Taylor Swift

While i do enjoy the occasional Taylor Swift song and i commend her on her musical success i also believe that she is a feminist nightmare which is what this article from autostraddle is all about.  Taylor's music is mostly about heartbreak and falling in love, and there is no problem with that, the problem is that in a lot of her music she blames the "slutty" girl for her problems. The entire idea of feminism is not only about equal rights but also about how it should be okay for females to expression their sexuality and not have repercussions from it.  Taylor's music though, dictates that if you are "slutty" then you will ultimately lose to the girl who is "secretly perfect", or in a sense is just your typical girl next door, a character that Taylor portrays in a lot of her music.
