Journal Entry #21
This process was really hard for me as i took a while for me to be able to understand how to start writing it. But i did better at not procrastinating this essay i stayed on top of it pretty well and only struggled starting the essay.
Journal 20
” They are told that they’re needed because a child’s parents have severe and potentially dangerous problems, but also that they should support the ultimate goal of returning the child to those same parents” This quote resonated with me because the entire foster care system is just so corrupt and no one else ever prepared for what tragedy they might end up facing and there should be more awareness based on it
Journal Entry #19
” No one wants to be crazy, least of all truly crazy-as in psychotic” this line stuck out to me because mental health is a really big thing that’s under looked a lot of people will say offensive things without thinking about what people around them may be going through, such as stuff like saying ‘Texas weather is so bipolar” while someone next to them could be bipolar causing the person with bipolar disorder feel crazy and unheard.
Journal Entry #18
nice guys finish last
” What these anecdotes reveal is that the Predator/prey mindset essential ensures that men cannot be viewed as legitimate sexual objects, nor can woman be viewed as legitimate sexual aggressors.” this quote stuck out the most for me because it’s something not many people spread awareness about, a man would typically go his whole life without realizing he was sexually assaulted by a woman because it’s not a fairly common thing that happens and is not talked about enough.
Bad feminist
” I sometimes cringe when someone refers to me as a feminist, as if I should be ashamed of my feminism or as if the word feminist in an insult” This quote stuck out to me because I also tend to feel sort of like embarrassed when someone calls me a feminist and it’s not that it’s something I’m not proud of its more of society made the word define people as sensitive, my brother use to use the word feminist to insult me as a kid so it kind has just stuck with me, but it’s not that I’m embarrassed if any awareness i may have made.
