Take a Women's Studies class and open up your mind..

Take a Women’s Studies class to help you be more aware.

Gender, sex, oppression in American society can be and is sometimes a delicate issue, especially when we sometimes try to prove to ourselves that we can be gender neutral with most aspects of the changing face of acceptance and tolerance when it comes to issues of inequality and equality for each and every individual picture we may see. My recent college class on Women’s Studies has and is stretching my mind I believe, in a positive way to see many things about sex and biology that I had not considered in the pass. Even though I have always considered myself open and progressive, I can now see I have a lot more to learn and I am open for it. While I know bigotry exists in all forms, I am disturbed by the many organizations of hate that exist to deny freedom to live a happy life of our choosing. Further, some social organizations related to sexual differences can/will help us relate to individual sexual identity. This may help individuals have a more clearer biological sex distinction in contemporary mainstream society. Especially as it relates to masculinity and femininity as learned by what was the previous dominated and influential male environment. The same environment that has controlled and taught most of us what we have been totally brainwashed to think and feel about identity. This environment still exists in most parts of the world, sometimes undercover in the name of religion and law to restrict happiness and individual rights as guaranteed under law and in the U.S. Gender expressions, performance, biology/culture, socialization and intersectionality roads that cross with all these subjects can and has made America, the world, a changed society that has and is constantly striving to move forward by most progressive fair minded and younger thinkers that have come to a conclusion that sex and gender is not as important as the abilities and characters of individuals within the society. I believe the blind are more and more starting to remove their blinders to look all around and not in one direction, or even two directions.
