Mother's Day

On mother's day you basically appreciate one of the most important women in your life, your mom. My mom is one of the most important woman I will ever know or need in my lifetime. She continues to get on me about the sacrifices she made for me in order to be born in this world. She constantly reminds me of the struggle that her and I went through as she was young. Why? To make sure that I don't need to take things for what it is because it can get worse than it already is. She is really special, and different from most moms. She is that type of mom that fusses and cusses for no reason but you are too scared to say what you want to say because that would be consider to be talking back and my lips would fly around my head like Daffy Duck. She is proud of my accomplishments, especially when I was the first in our family to go to a official college(intermediate family. Sh

sexuality + comics +women= outlook of women

I typically read manga which is some sort of Japanese comic book. I love to draw and practically comics are nothing but a collage of drawn pictures put together. The comic typically is fun to read. But every since I started to learn in Women Gender Studies, I realize that the women are like sex figures. Most of the manga women have the biggest boobs ever. I am not a perve but I notice this and started to think. Why are their boobs so big? Is it because this is how women want to be perceived from the perspective of men who read the manga? I don't care for most of the pictures and etc but why most of the women are portrayed this way? I believe it's because that's what sells and therefore if it sells, we as the people will buy it. You can see this in videos and also movies and any other piece of entertainment that is shown on television or magazines and billboards. Not everything has to be about sex nowadays. I remember the days when women were no bigger than a twig, but now, you see nothing but double D’s, a small waist and a big butt to go along with it. This affects the thoughts of our younger youth to think that they need to have better b’s (booty, breast, beauty) instead of just being what they are and accepting the truth. But this cycle will not cease like the cycle of oppression, it will only worse before it gets better.
