Exam 3: Sociopolitical Issues in Womens, Gender and Sexuality Studies

"As members of a social justice movement committed to ending oppression, we must reconsider the complexity of rendering justice by paying attention to specific vulnerabilities of _______."

"_______ has been a place where women lead before they can do so in other domains, such as politics or the workplace."

"That's obvious when you remember that climate chaos is a direct consequence of industrial policy-but recognizing that truth brings you to a very different set of strategies than encouraging poor women to have fewer babies. The scapegoating of women ultimately draws attention away from the real culprits behind our climate catastrophe: _______ and their scandalous success in supplanting government regulation with subsidies and tax loopholes. It diverts attention from the need to change an economic system that demands limitless resource exploitation and profit-seeking."

"Friendship remains more important in contemporary lives than current gender theories attest. It continues to be little theorized even though friendships in fact provide significant emotional support, especially for young adults undergoing the stresses of insecure economies, more mobile relationships, and confusion around gender and sexuality. Although people of all ages enjoy and benefit from friendships, friendship is increasingly associated with youth, leisure, same-sex bonding, and experiences of consumption within shared markets of sports, travel, and shopping. While friendships bless people with the pleasures of similarity and comradeship, I argue that a major function of the institution of friendship is that it _______ individuals that they are performing gender appropriately and so _______ society's established gender norms and other social boundaries. On the other hand, contemporary friendships are indeed changing shape."

"Women don't want to be subjected to rape and perhaps qualifying as a real (white, cis, straight, middle-class) woman under the dominant rules requires being "rapeable." Perhaps being acknowledged as rapeable brings with it protection-the masculinist, paternalistic and controlling kind. Yet what do we do when white heteropatriarchy deems white women perfect victims, black and brown women never victims, black and brown men always perpetrators, and white men heroic saviors? What do we do when these systems deny lesbians sexual agency by portraying them either as non-sexual in the absence of straight men or hyper-sexual in the presence of straight men? What do we do when these systems need a clear distinction between men and women and so _______ trans, non-binary, and genderqueer folks?"
