However, she also mentions how this was primarily the “white women’s movement” for sexuality and how it convinced her that lesbian sexuality was naturally different than heterosexual sexuality (Moraga, 393). This white women’s movement was problematic in that it excluded non-white, non-middle class women.

The article that is being reviewed titled “Young White Children See Race” by Harry Morgan was published in 2010 by Jean Ait Belkhir, Race, Gender, and Class Journal. In my opinion, the main points of this article are racism still exists between Whites and Black people, but our society is continuing to deny and neglect this issue.

For example, in 2009, Whites and Blacks who attended a few southern high schools together were separated

During the past fifty years women have been participants in and beneficiaries of the civil rights movement. Women have been active protestors and fight for what they think is right and that no matter the culture or sex everyone as a citizen of the United States should have equal rights. Women during the past fifty years did not want to be seen as high or greater than men, but just equal, even though through all the conflict women have been subjected to cruel punishments and seen lesser than man. A man could use religion to the fact that in the book of Genesis, God said it himself that they will always be lower than man because they were the cause of sin into this earth; but how could someone use such nonsense in a country that is free of religious influences. That is why there has to be the change in the way that women should be viewed with equal rights, “comparable worth,” and the role of women in the military.

I have always wondered why women are less studied than men, it is because perhaps their problems and concerns have been considered less essential than men or it is because they are seen as having psychological problems or deficiencies.
