Fruitloop Feminism<\/p>\n
I decided to create my first blog discussing, well, another blog, named Fruitloop Feminism. I chose this blog for a multitude of reasons. The very first reason is solely because my best friend\u2019s older sister, Claire McGovern, writes it. Like me, Claire majored in English. Unlike Claire, I am not an avid feminist. I have taken a couple classes at Santa Clara that have studied women\u2019s gender issues and women in literature (truthfully because they fulfilled my major requirements and\/or were double-dippers), but learned a whole lot from feminists such as Bell Hooks, Judith Butler, Naomi Wolf, Virginia Woolf, etc.<\/p>\n
Although I have never had the desire to be vocal about women\u2019s rights, I do fully support that women are becoming more and more independent and changing the traditional \u201cmen have to be the bread winners of the family\u201d notion of society. \u00a0After looking through Claire\u2019s blog, I have come to appreciate her viewpoints on the female politics and believe she touches on some very important topics of today\u2019s modern world. Her posts range from the heated debate over birth control to the unrealistic image of love in films that most women fantasize and desire. Regardless of the topic, Claire manages to avoid dullness and uses her wit to inform readers on the controversial, yet interesting feminist related topics of modern day.<\/p>\n
For anyone interested in reading Claire’s blog, here’s the link!<\/p>\n
