We talk about how we U.S. women overall still earn only 80 cents on the dollar compared to men, and black women make only 63 cents, while Latinas make 54 cents.” Wambach states this to inspire the women of the graduating class to stick together as women, no matter what race, and fight. She proves effectively that each individual has worth and they deserve the same amount of pay.

This theme is interesting because it highlights pass contestants and Miss Rodeo Americas whom were once asked not to be married nor pregnant when they were competing, for doing exactly this. Being married, pregnant, and having children. When the women held titles they were asked and expected to be virginal rodeo queens, who did not have time for boys.

With the images MRAI is reinforcing gender norms and expectations found in rural/rodeo

The authors in this week 's reading displayed an interestingly skillful use of logos, pathos, and ethos to help persuade the reader to share the writer 's viewpoint on gender equality. In certain works, a specific type of rhetorical appeal prevails over the others. A great example of this is Judith Sargent Murray 's "On the Equality of the Sexes." In this work, she primarily utilizes logos to support her main point that males are not mentally superior to women. Once again, logos is an appeal to logic, in which the author attempts to persuade the audience with evidence and valid reasoning.

Tina Fey uses generalizations about race, gender, race, and sexuality to satirize the double standards women and minorities face in daily life. Fey’s awareness of gender inequality is evident in her use of satire when discussing what she imagines to be her readers reasons for buying the book. The second paragraph of the “Introduction” is Tina Fey addressing those who bought her book “for practical tips on how to make it in a male-dominated workplace.” She gives her readers the following list of instructions:“No pigtails, no tube tops.

However, the heavy criticism in her rhetoric is laid out in a more witty, almost sarcastic tone to lighten the message and express it in such a way that builds her credibility from the very introduction of the speech, allowing her argument to become all the more successful. Luce humorously puts the blame of this attack on the audience for inviting her to speak, immediately lightening the tone. The way she directly addresses the audience and their characteristics forces the audience’s

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Wicked: The Life and Time of the Wicked Witch of the West possesses feminist ideals represented through the characterization of female characters.

In the article, “Title IX defeats male athletes” by Ann Coulter, she says that male’s teams are being decimated in pursuit of an insane feminist dream that has morphed into feral policy: to make women’s sports equal to men’s, but really this shouldn’t have happened. Women play different sports than men do, sports are all different, and they shouldn’t have to be equal. Some sports are for men, some sports are for women, and some sports are for both. Some of the sports that are for men, could be too competitive or too complicated, but the sports that are for women exist so that women don’t have to play a sport that might be too hard for them. So in a way, men’s and women’s sports are already equal if you think about it because there is something for men to play and something for women

My first main point of the story that touched on feminism was when Mr. Austen feeling unconfident.

when he addresses ideology and explains that, “we all are subjected to dominant perspectives in the most mundane and ordinary activities of our lives” (Ideological Criticism 211). For instance, an activity such as reading the Twilight saga, which contains messages about gender roles, is an example of dominant perspectives that adolescent girls are subjected to. Since young girls are already easily influenced, it doesn’t help to have something that they love and are very interested in, as this causes them to become more influenced. These stories have developed quite the audience when it comes to young girls and they have also played a role in influencing said young girls about gender roles. These gender roles portrayed in the saga explain to readers that women are a weaker sex.

Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun presents the rise of feminism in America in the 1960s. Beneatha Younger, Lena Younger (Mama) and Ruth Younger are the three primary characters displaying evidences of feminism in the play.
