As my section and I considered the definition of Feminism we found out that it meant different things to different people. To some people it meant equality, to others it meant community. We decided that the best way to create a definition that each individual liked was to combine all our ideas about feminism together. Our group’s definition became: feminism is a set of practices of cultural and social equality between genders in society. Next on our to-do list was the flyer.
We had several great ideas about what should go on the flyer. We decided to do an imaginary event because we would be able to adjust it to whatever we wanted. I helped in coming up with the definition of feminism. Andria came up with the idea that we should have an outdoor movie. Daniel had the perfect movie in mind: Title nine. I had not heard of title nine prior to our discussion of it so I definitely enjoyed the brief history lesson. Krysten added the idea of having a co-ed baseball game before the movie since the sport played in the movie was baseball. We decided to make the teams co-ed because we wanted our event to include men. We did not want the event to be a feminist event with no men. Rhea had the perfect field for our baseball game; Shipley Field. This field was perfect because it was available for the date we had created. Alicia knew that college students are always hungry so she decided free food at the event would also attract more people. Delilah was an amazing secretary. She created the flyer as we threw our ideas out there. Anne did an outstanding job on the event description. It was detailed, precise and very well written. Lauren was our editor. She made the flyer look presentable. I thought she would e-mail us the final copy before class since we all have to present the flyer and our event on Tuesday. I think she did a good job on it. Brenda had an idea about making the event a fundraiser to raise money for some feminist issues in the developing world. We took Ana’s advise about making the event restricted to the US because there were a lot of issues about feminism going on in the developing world. We all participated actively in the discussion on what our flyer should look like and what the definition of feminism should mean for the group.
While participating in the group’s discussion about feminism and the development of the event flyer I learnt about what other people thought feminism really was. I realized that your background and previous experiences with feminism either consciously or unconsciously changed your views about feminism. I also learned that by doing something in a group, more opinions are added to the final product which makes it better and more effective in delivering the message than if one person did it.
