This week we are exploring feminist theory. While feminism and it’s movement has been highly contentious and debated by both men and women alike, for this discussion board we will be doing both reflection and analysis. 1) Share your personal background with the feminist movement. What did you think feminism was before this class and how were you socialized to think/feel about it? 2) Offer a critique of feminist theory as presented by bell hooks in the reading. Present both areas of substantive strength and areas that could use substantive reconciliation. Remember, part 1 is subjective and part 2 of the prompt should be objective.
