Election 2016: Power, Privilege and Voting

I took upon reading both of these factual pieces of texts that talk about the Election of 2016.

In the First article I read, it begins discussing how men and women talk like locker room talk. This is being referred to as when men are with men they talk about women, and when women are with other women they talk about men.  But of course in all mens eyes they have more power over women when it comes to having a voice. But like most males they talk and talk and then try to let it go that they weren't part of anything and had nothing to do with anything. But as referred, they are "toxic". All men think just because they are a man they have the voice and power over a women for example like  locker room talk. When they do not just because they are just "Masculine" vs a women being "Feminism".

In the Second article I read, Hilary Clinton is sharing her voice displaying how a women's voice matters. She believes that speaking to a audience and crowd of people and listening to a women voice shows how much power and privilege matters for each individual. What makes Clinton who she is especially on how she feels about how everyone should have a voice and express it. Having women take control, shows great power and privilege for younger women to see and not to be afraid of using there voice. 
    “In today’s America, when a woman is loud it’s ‘shouting,’ when a man yells = enthusiasm.           Where am I? Sudan?” Joyce Karam, the Washington bureau chief at the Arab newspaper Al-Hayat.(2)
                                           

In this Video, Hilary Clinton expresses her true thoughts on opinion of "Women rights are Human Rights."

  1. I also used the same quote that you did from Joyce Karam. I think it really explains the gender issue of women and their voices. Sad to think that if we raise our voice, we are considered to be shouting.

  2. A lot of people used that quote I think because it was one of the best that stood out. Great job and as always I love the addition of the pictures.
