embracing queer and non-white women

intersectionality and inclusion of trans people, rejection of the term "woman" and binary systems, sex
work acceptance

little regard to long-term consequences

-Many say mutilation intended to dull women's sexual enjoyment; "purifies them," "more docile and
obedient" for marriage



female genital mutilation FGM - People opposed to this practice believe its important to not force
children unable to consent to do this practice but to wait until they are older and can choose whether
they would like to engage in the cultural practice

In what ways is sexualized violence in the media relevant? - Images in the mass media repeatedly
reinforce the idea that sexualized violence against women is both sexy and legitimate.



In what ways is the targeted focus on marriage equality both important and potentially problematic for
the LGB community? - Many activists believe the fight for marriage equality is a privileged one
and ignores more pressing issues:

-Poverty, healthcare, lack of employment, affordable housing, LGBTQ homeless youth (LGBTQ homeless
youth comprise 20-40% of homeless youth population)*
