“My definition of feminism is simply that women are people, in the fullest sense of the world, who must be free to move in society with all the privileges and opportunities and responsibility that are their human and American right. “
I feel like this is the most true because as I was reading the packet, I read how unfairly women were treated like how they were “encouraged” to be nurturing and a family caretaker while the husbands were in jobs training to be aggressive, dominant, and more competitive which I thought was crap. I mean, what the quote says is true. Women need to be treated like normal people instead of doormats which another quote compared these two as if they were very similar objects. I thought it was interesting where this one woman left her duties as a hostess. Mother, homemaker and wife left her home, husband, and child to continue her painting dreams and that is where she gained her independence. That was just surprising to me because it didn’t seem like many women did that sort of thing. Something in the reading that also caught my attention was that the word feminism wasn’t used or discovered until the 1910’s. Even though I am rambling on about what I noticed, what I also noticed is that they mostly mentioned women in the second and first wave and only mentioned the third wave when a woman said she was the third wave.

so. i was told to test. i think maybe this'll work. _________________ "Both optimists and pessimists contribute to the society.

Fifty-year-old woman:
"Feminism is supporting women in any endeavor they choose, whether it's traditional or untraditional. Feminism recognizes that skills and strengths are not confined to a specific gender."
I also wanted to add; are we trying to define feminism, or are we trying to find similarities between definition, or differences? Because something that made a lot of sense to me was when Dicker said a definition depends on a feminists goal. (Page 19) So there shouldn't be one set definition for feminism.
I'm not sure what my definition is yet...
Probably because suppression hasn't been a huge role in my life, like women who grew up in the past, our mothers, and grandmothers.

Two people were killed and more than 80 others injured when a passenger plane rolled off the runway after making an emergency landing at a Moscow airport, Russian officials say.
All of the plane's three engines had failed by the time it landed at Domodedovo airport.
The Russian-built TU-154 was carrying about 170 passengers and crew en route for southern Russia.
The plane broke up after leaving the runway.
"As a result of the TU-154 making an emergency landing at Domodedovo airport, two people died," Tatyana Morozova, a spokeswoman for Moscow transport investigators, said.
Civil aviation official Sergey Izvolskiy told broadcaster NTV that the plane belonging to Dagestan Airlines had taken off from Vnukovo airport in Moscow, bound for Makhachkala in Dagestan.
Shortly after take-off, the crew reported engine problems and were forced carry out an emergency landing at Domodedovo, Mr Izvolskiy said.
"Following the landing, the plane slid off the runway and broke up", he said.

The cause of the engine failure is under investigation.
One passenger told AFP news agency the landing was very rough, then there was a "big shock" as the plane hit something.
"I was sitting in the middle. The plane broke in two about four or five seats in front of me as if it had been cut, completely," Gamzat Guitinomagomedov said.
"We saw the people who were there, they had broken legs, blood everywhere."
Russia's national carrier airline Aeroflot took all its remaining 23 TU-154 aircraft out of service in January, after a series of crashes led to safety fears.
The Tupolev mid-range jets are banned from landing in Europe because of excessive engine noise.
But the aircraft are still used by smaller airlines across Russia and the former Soviet Union.
Polish President Lech Kaczynski was killed earlier this year when a Polish Airforce TU-154 crashed in western Russia.
