Welcome to My So Called Feminist Life, a blog delving into an exploration of feminism and its connections to my life. This blog will be developing over the next few weeks as a final project for my fourth year women’s studies seminar Finding Your Feminist Voice. The purpose of this blog is to explore my feminist voice and express it to the world.
As a women’s studies major I have been introduced to many feminist concepts and have been challenged to see how feminism fits into my life. For the last four years I have wondered to myself, am I a feminist? Why should I consider myself a feminist? With this blog I am looking to answer these questions for myself in a free and creative environment. These questions will be what guides my blog in attempt to connect my life to my feminism.
So what can you expect? You can expect a wide variety of posts which deal with: violence against women, sex/gender system, gender performativity, media portrayals of women, my music and my feminism,
pictures, poetry, and anything else I find is relevant to the blog.
This is my blog and I would appreciate any feedback from visitors, but I must stress that the views and opinions expressed in this blog are my own and any negative commentary will be removed. However, I will accept positive feedback as it is greatly appreciated and will encourage conversation.

Zain,
ReplyDeleteI am really excited to see how your blog progesses for the rest of the semester. The introduction is very interesting. It's great that you openly admit that you've questioned whether you are a feminist and where feminism fits in your life. It might be interesting and helpful to others if you discuss some of the doubts that you've had (have) and how you've moved forward in creating a "so-called feminist life."
Great work.

Professor Hartley,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment! I am really excited to see how this blog progresses as well. I am really enjoying working on it, it is a peaceful, free and creative environment for me to express myself. As the blog continues I will definitely be further discussing my feminism and the doubts I have had and so on in a creative (and possibly surprising) way!
Thanks again!
Zain
