For this week’s discussion, find a current (meaning within this past year) image, article, or another form of media online that you can share with the class (actually post the image or a link to an article or if it’s a film or book, you can just reference the title) that exhibits sexism and/or the social construction of gender and then EXPLAIN why you view this as sexism based on what you have read this week. Discuss it in terms of intersectionality, in other words, not just how it is sexist, but how it also may reinforce racist, classist, ableist, and/or homophobic/transphobic inequities as well.
Then, you need to describe in your own words what intersectional feminism is and how it differs from what your view/understanding of feminism was prior to reading about intersectionality.
