The poet is being oppressed by society, but she doesn't care. Throughout the poem she compares herself to the 'real ones', being women who are seen as perfect in society's eye. She sets herself apart from the generic woman in the first two lines, as she has a tattoo. "They generally shave their armpits/***/and they don't sport bruises like these ones,/ in these places", these descriptions of the real women seem much more appealing than her at the start. Further on in the poem Crayola's constant use of adjectives shapes a very powerful image, creating a stronger barrier between the two.
Arts 3TC Instructor Mjelde April 15, 2013 Knidian Aphrodite response Knidian Aphrodite is known to be the first nude goddess sculpture ever created. A Greek sculptor named Praxiteles sculpted this work of art during 4th century BC, and it was made in marbles.

The statue is in the process of bathing that restored her purity.
The narrator also claims that Jordan’s “complete self sufficiency draws a stunned tribute from him”. In this statement, he is not only addressing the pride and self-esteem the character exudes while keeping her chin raised and refusing to acknowledge his presence, but also describing a haughtiness that was unremarkable for a young lady of the Roaring Twenties to possess. Even Jordan Baker’s flapper physique reminds readers of the ideal woman of the era when Nick describes her as a “slender, small breasted girl”. In addition, he notices vivacity in her movements and how she self-assuredly wears her evening dresses like sportswear.
Gender is put into “masculine” and “feminine” categories while sex is put into “male” and “female”categories. How do gender and sex contribute to the concepts and constructions of masculinity and femininity? Gender and sex have so much to do with masculinity and femininity. Like I said above [Gender is put into “masculine” and “feminine” categories while sex is put into “male” and “female”categories.] Males are considered masculine because they are “rough and tough” and females are considered feminine because of history and women having to act like a “proper lady”.
Johnson manages very well to avoid the mainstream debate about whether or not Thelma and Louise’s roles in the movie are appropriate or realistic. He described them as “two beautiful, easygoing women who recognize that they can no longer tolerate a ‘deepshit’ status in a man-made American universe.” Thelma starts as a forgiving housewife and enhances the character with her easy going and nonchalant attitude. Louise is also waiting on men at her workplace. But they don’t recognize her effort and she doesn’t care about what they think about her. This is also an early clue that her previous adventures with men did not go well.
After an extensive analyzation of both characters it is evident that Wonder Woman uses her femininity and sexuality to her advantage and this can be seen through Marston's DISC theory, which states her to be a liberating character. Thus, wonder woman can be understood as using her gender as a power tool, seen through her costume and nurturing attitude, differentiating her from Betty Boop. When reading Wonder woman one can see how even though being dominant, she still carries and conforms to the ideal feminine attributes. Marston’s DISC theory showcases Wonder Woman as a liberating character. Marston in the 1920’s developed his DISC theory while he taught at American University and Tufts University.
In the playwright, “Taming of the Shrew”, Shakespeare uses irony and satire to delight the audience into addressing on how a woman is to behave. Katherine Minola, in the beginning of the play, was a perfect example of what a “shrew” is. In the end of the play she was completely turned around, or “tamed” as they say it, into a humble, docile person or is she? Katherine isn’t the type to back down. She is a fierce, independent woman who does not need any man.
Nancy Mairs is a “cripple”. It is not me being rude by calling her that, but rather me calling her what she prefers to call herself for personal reasons. Using a specific tone Mairs presents herself as a confident woman that has faced her challenges with an optimistic reality. Mairs is a woman who knows what she wants and her unwavering view on her condition is evident in the passage. She is aware of the fact that many people are uncomfortable with the word “cripple”, but “wants them to wince”.
She tries to get this point across by stating that "Aging beautifully used to mean wearing one's years with style, confidence, and vitality. Today, it means not appearing to age at all.” In addition to being accepted by the media, feminists perceive cosmetic surgery in a constructive manner as well. Bordo reluctantly admits that the feministic approach to cosmetic procedures is that it allows women to changes themselves for the better, in a way to make them feel more secure and
Gilgamesh was aware of the power of women over men and knowing that he sends Shamhat to change Enkidu's nature. Women were not less than men as it could be easily mistaken by the word prostitute in Shamhat's title, in any case she is respected by the
