Kira: Since this will be our last post for the Gender, Sexuality: Politics blog, we thought it would nice to show how our subtopics affect politics and just give a ending final explanation of our topics.
Throughout the semester, my subtopic has been gender roles in politics. What I want to focus on as a final post was relating our subtopics back directly to politics and the effects it has on it. For my subtopic, which was gender roles in politics. It's related because it's an issue that's growing and pressing. inequalities and discrimination for both men and women but mostly women when it comes to politics. The sexist remarks, the views on how women will run things (if in charge) all cloud society's clear outlook on what a women could actually do. I wanted to get across that women shouldn't be judged solely on the fact that they are women but actually given the chance to show the knowledge they have and how they could actually make change.
Having gender roles in politics definitely made an impact since it's seen everyday in even the simplest situations. Gender roles impact politics because women are not given a fair chance to show full potential because there is already a view on women in a powerful position. It almost seemed like taboo to think such a thing could happen.
Overall, I wanted to convey that gender roles in politics and other groups should not be something to define a person and their ability to perform in a certain position. Individuals should not be generalized with specific groups and that every person should have the right to their individuality and their right to have the same opportunities whether male or female. Equality is the best policy. That's a motto someone could follow.
Cherokee: Over the course of this project, I have related politics to the LGBT community. The main objective of my posts was to shine light on both the good and bad aspects of politics in the LGBT community. For example, one of my posts discusses LGBT marriage laws in the United States which is a clear representation of the government interfering with the unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. On the contrary, one of my shorter posts included a link to a website that contained information about the LGBT advocates in politics and what is being done to help LGBT peoples.
Politicians play a vital role in the outcomes of our lives as they determine what we can and cannot do. That is why it is so important to understand the motives and recognize the actions of each politician in office. Our future depends on it.
