CRR ( Feminism )

                    When I was in 10th or 11th grade, Jaylene wanted to make a feminist club however I turned it down because my idea of feminists back then were that they were vain and unappealing. Most of the feminists I have heard of were so dramatic-- like during the suffrage movement some women were martyrs for the cause. Their methods to achieve equality for the sexes were extreme and ineffective in recruiting sympathizers.
 My perception of them changed after reading Shakespeare's " The Taming of the Shrew"  Baptista literally sold his daughters off to their husbands. Katharina was the character that gave me an insight of the unfairness happening during her time.  She rebelled against being sanctioned off for marriage, she was outspoken when she felt she was not being treated fairly and this cost her to be labeled as a shrew.  Many of Shakespeare's characters behaved like Bianca so I inferred that most women at that time were content with a male dominating society. Turns out feminism ran deep and dated back to Shakespeares time! The last factor that cleared the negative image of feminism was Petruchio's "taming" of Katharina. His behavior was worse than hers and he acted out every chance he got. However, society did not label him a shrew or make him notorious because of his behavior like they did to Katharine. This subtle gesture highlighted the unfairness between the sexes and kind of changed my mind perception of feminists.
