For WS 450, I visited 3 blogs on WebCT, they were Feministe, Feminism/Pop Culture, and Fetch Me My Axe. I tried using the blog roll on some of these blogs, but I was going into advertisements like how to creat a blog or know how to write a term paper.
One of blogs that I visited was on Fetch Me My Axe, it had videos from YouTube and there was a video on a 15-year old girl getting beated up by the police. The police asked her to remove her shoe and she kicked off her shoe, which was thrown at the police. The officer was so upset that he grabbed the girl throw her against the wall and to the floor. She mention that her and the officer were arguing earlier.
It's an interesting video on who said who first.
One blog that I looked at was Feministe and it also had a video, but it was on President Obama talking and signing the Exective Order creating White House Council on Women and Girls. I enjoyed that, it was interesting to listen and watch this video about how the President wants to help women in low pay jobs, violence against women, and recoginzing women for their roles.
The topics were interesting, there is so much to read on these blogs about women. I am more interested in women being activits towards what they believe in.

hi melanie...
ReplyDeletei'm in the cyberfeminism class and getting around to everyone's blogs.......
i saw this video you mentioned a few weeks ago when it came out.......to say the least, it startled me....i think it's important that the video is silent- we are faced with the brutal imagery...and just looking at the video, we (the viewers) know something is wrong....i think this cop took power into his own hands, and maybe he has his own issues with women....i don't understand what his thought process was thought, because he had to have known he was getting recorded on video......
in any case, a 15 year-olds bad mouth doesn't warrent a beating from an adult male cop......
