Feminist stereotypes
http://www.rockridgenation.org/blog/archive/2007/06/06/ask-rockridge-framing-feminism
This is a blog dedicated to feminist stereotypes… different words, terms, and definitions associated with feminism. It seemed relevant to this weeks lesson because it discusses how certain words and terms are a lot less acceptable than others. For example, the blog states,
“There’s no doubt, people have very strong reactions to the “F” word. But the truth is, while the words “feminism” and “women’s rights” might turn some people off, the issues they stand for have a profound impact on women and on our society as a whole.”
It also offers definitions for the different types of feminism that exist and the major and important issues that feminism truly stands for such as: reproductive rights, sex trafficking, women in the workplace, poverty reduction and climate change. This blog has a number of viewer responses and also offers alternative links.

Even just one word, feminism, there are many kind of catogories in the word. The word choice is reallly important in the society , because most of the communications are consisted of text.
I have confused that there are sometimes situations that the word “Feminism” is considered as bad for the society. Of course we have to respect each other withought the idea of gender. but “Feminism” is sometimes regarded as valuing female more than male.=not equal (I think this is the wrong definition of this word)
