Why I Chose This Lens?


I picked Feminist lens, because many people are treated differently because of their gender.  This particular lens interests me more than the other lens, because I knew what to talk about.  Many people are portrayed different because of their gender.  My personal beliefs about the topics covered by Feminist lens would be when I was in my fashion class and a teacher told us a topic to talk about, which was being shirtless in public.  My friend and I were discussing about how women can be shirtless in public, like men.  As my friend and I discussed this and the teacher got the class together to talk about this topic, a student said, that only guys can do it, and not girls.  I got offended, because even though he has his own point of view, it still offended me because the student had portrayed women and men differently.  Another lens that I was considering would be Psychoanalytical Lens.  I thought about picking this lens, because I was interested in the inner thoughts of the characters.  Even though they do not say anything out loud, I wanted to examine how they would act towards people.  What I am hoping to get out of this project would be knowing why Feminist Lens are used, and how people are portrayed because of the gender they are.

  1. Hi Sydney, this is a very interesting reason that you chose to do the feminist lens! It is strange how women are not allowed to be shirtless in public, because the breasts are not inherently sexual-- they are secondary sex characteristics.
    Anyways, I look forward to reading more from you!

  2. I think that the reason that you chose this lens is really interesting. I agree with both you and Emma that it is weird how somethings are okay for men to do, but not from men. I think that it would be interesting if you studied how people interact with Sethe, compared how women interact with me. I can't wait to see what you write about.
