"Makers"

I unfortunately could not stay the whole time during the presentation but I wish I could have.  It was very inspiring to hear the stories to be shared across the wide range of different generations in the room.  In the hour that I was there I learned a ton about the feminist movement and it was even more inspiring because of the women it was being presented by.  It was interesting to hear about how many women did not agree with the feminist movement.  Then, as mentioned in class, the woman who advocated against the movement the most was very contradictory in her opinions compared to her actions of travelling and talking about her opinions against the movement.  She expressed how woman should be stay at home mothers and not pursue their career goals.  Then there was the mention of Hilary Clinton and how she spoke down to women who chose to be stay at home mothers.  Regardless of gender, a stay at home mother or father is nothing to be ashamed of.  On the other hand, the feminist movement was obviously important to open the eyes of society that just like men, women have that choice of staying home or not.

I also found it interesting that there were a few males in the room during the presentation!
