Article!

Hey everyone!

I found a very interesting article. A great source I use to find articles is reddit. You can search in things called "sub-reddits." I believe the politics tabs is on the homepage of this screen. Once I clicked on politics I searched sexuality within that sub-reddit. There were so many great sources and articles. You should check it out!

Anyway, here is an article I found about sex and wall street. Very interesting if you take the time to read it.

Wall Street Article!

Just click on that and there you have it. I am interested in your comments and feedback.

Also, a picture.

Comments?

Opinions?

This picture stuck out to me as a big political gender and sexuality issue. While I am not a Sarah Palin fan this picture stuck out to me. She is a political figure (hahaha) ok sorry, I shouldn't be putting my personal bias in but come on, it is Sarah Palin :P

Anyway as a political figure who is a woman she is in short shorts and obviously has emphasis on the fact  that she isn't hard on the eyes. Would they have made Obama or George Bush pose like this, wearing that, on the cover of newsweek? Think about that....

Introduction!

Hello and welcome to our blog!

Together, we (Alexa, Cherokee, Kira, and Trenee) will collectively discuss topics related to Gender and Sexuality that can be found in Politics. Our main goal of this blog is to provide you with information about the challenges faced, the goals accomplished, the fun facts, and the entertainment behind the relationships between Gender, Sexuality, and Politics. Furthermore, there will be four different subtopics presented in our blog that fit under the gender or sexuality categories.

One of our subtopics to be related to politics is gender rolls. This subtopic belongs to me, Kira, and I will discuss how women and men are treated differently in the world of politics and how gender rolls are viewed by society and the individuals themselves. Going into more depth, I will break down the relationship and give my opinion, ask questions and brainstorm on issues going on in the U.S. relating to politics. For example, what I mean by gender roles is how women and man are compared and treated within politics that involve legal issues, bills, and laws that affect both genders or shows the difference between the treatment.

Our second subtopic is the LGBTQ community and will be discussed by me, Cherokee. My posts will include discussions about laws and proposals that affect the LGBTQ community, and will also share a little bit about the history shared between LGBTQ members and politicians. Additionally, my posts will include updates involving LGBTQ proponents that are currently involved in our government and their plans to assist the LGBTQ community.

Furthermore, the members of the Gender, Sexuality: Politics blog will raise questions and give our opinions on the articles posted.

We hope you enjoy,

Thank you.
