Women’s Resource Center starts Feminist Book Club

May 8, 2018 by Crystal Harrell Leave a Comment

  As the spring quarter reaches its midway point, students can unwind from the stress of heavy coursework with a good book. The Women's Resource Center (WRC) at the Santos Manuel Student Union has been hosting its first book club since April 24 and invites readers of all majors and genders to attend. The book club, organized by English major Lizette Casillas Rodriguez, has been reading cultural critic Roxane Gay's 2014 collection "Bad Feminist: Essays." Rodriguez chose this title in particular for several reasons, including Gay's visit to the campus last fall quarter and the flexibility of the text to students. "I loved the short snippet that I got to hear from one of her … [Read more...] about Women’s Resource Center starts Feminist Book Club

Who should win the election? The battle between candidates

June 9, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Shirleena Baggett |Staff Writer| I can see it now. November 8, 2016, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton will be elected as the 45th president of the United States. We have to realize that we are not only voting for our next Commander in Chief, but also the direction of the future of America. Other than Hillary Clinton, there is no other candidate qualified for the job. To uphold the legacy of Obama, new ideas and trends, we need a person with pizzazz, strength, finesse and most importantly, experience that we can only get from someone like Mrs. Clinton. Her resume includes serving as former secretary of state, U.S. senator, first lady and knowing a thing or two about foreign policy since … [Read more...] about Who should win the election?

By Misty Williams |Staff Writer|   This week the Santos Manuel Student Union will be hosting a lot of events that tackle feminist, race and transgender issues head on.   On May 9 the SMSU women's resource center will host “Smashing the Patriarchy Feminist Bingo.”   Unlike ordinary bingo, the stereotypes of feminism will be discussed, specifically topics surrounding if women should shave their legs, if women need to cook, and why women get paid lower wages than men.   On May 10, there will be a screening of the film “Forgotten Heroes” by Delan Manongs.   The film will be surrounding the struggle that farmworkers had to go through to gain rights.   The film is based off of a … [Read more...] about Upcoming Events

What feminism really means

April 25, 2016 by Archived posts 1 Comment

By Shirleena Racine Baggett |Staff Writer| I am a feminist. By making this declaration, I am saying that I believe and stand for the equal rights and representation for all, especially women. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, feminism is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities; it is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes. "Everyone benefits from feminism. We all have an obligation as human beings on this planet to advocate for equality," said Coordinator of the Women’s Resource Center (WRC) Janet Honn-Alex. Feminism—its movement, its culture, and its definition has evolved over time. In our society, feminism … [Read more...] about What feminism really means

Feminism polls show mixed feelings

October 31, 2014 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Ivanna Carlos |Staff Writer| Not everyone knows what feminism is; each person may have a different definition of feminism. I introduced a survey of five questions to the campus, of which 38 females and 21 males participated. Do you think women should be paid the same amount as men for the same job? 38 females answered yes. 20 males answered yes, 1 male answered no. Do you think women should have the same rights as a man under the law? 38 females answered yes, 21 males answered yes. Do you know what feminism is? 36 females answered yes, 2 females answered no. 18 males answered yes, 3 males answered no. From the 59 students surveyed, we can determine that 97 … [Read more...] about Feminism polls show mixed feelings

Feminism : Trend or movement?

October 31, 2014 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Ariana Cano |Staff Writer| Organizations, individuals, and celebrities have recently claimed to support feminism, yet many are ignorant to what feminism implies and what changes it seeks to enact. The term feminism is used to emphasize the disenfranchisement of females in this patriarchal system. Feminism is defined as the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. I believe it is essential to understand and advocate feminism as a movement for change, and to strive to be a feminist regardless of gender. How is it then, that these same organizations, individuals, and celebrities, who believe that women should have equal … [Read more...] about Feminism : Trend or movement?

Gender as social construct

September 11, 2014 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Marlyn Rodriguez |Managing Editor| Patriarchy is defined as a system that grants power to men and oppresses women. Our society is male dominated, male identified and male centered. Although patriarchy exists in some societies more than others, is it men's fault that our society as a whole was raised with this mindset?  The men in our generation are also dealing with the consequences of a mentality that was created far back in history. The division between men and women was not an evident problem until the United States began its industrial revolution in 1760. In that time period, women decided to stay home with the children while their husbands set off to work. It was women … [Read more...] about Gender as social construct

May 23, 2012 by Archived posts

By Marlyn Rodriguez |Staff Writer| Rory Dicker, a professor at Vanderbilt University and author of "A History of U.S. Feminisms" made a visit to CSUSB on May 17 to speak to students about feminism. The lecture was held in the San Manuel Student Union Event Center. Professor Janet Kottke introduced the keynote speaker by asking the audience, “If we do not need a wave of feminism now, when?” It was then that CSUSB students and staff gave a warm Coyote welcome to Rory Dicker. Dicker, a highly proclaimed feminist, started her lecture by asking what were some stereotypes of a feminist. They included, “ugly, hairy, man-hating, butch, angry, hostile, militant.” She moved on from … [Read more...] about Feminist Rory Dicker visits CSUSB

Jane Says: Movie Poster Inherent Sexism

May 12, 2012 by Archived posts

By Rachel Cannon |Chronicle Blogger| For these past few weeks, all anyone seems to be talking about is "The Avengers," the new Marvel film that is breaking box office records left and right. Although I'm not a comic book aficionado myself, I've definitely been struck by the overwhelming positive response to this movie. It seems that most comic book films incite fan outrage by purists who find all sorts of gripes and details in which the movie failed to come through in a way that was true to their own visions or what they perceived to be the visions of the comic artists themselves. Not so for this film: I've heard scarcely a negative word about it at all. I admit I haven't seen it … [Read more...] about Jane Says: Movie Poster Inherent Sexism
