FInal Reflection

       Reflecting on the Social Location Project I have found many things in a small amount of time that have a profound connection to Feminism. I was able to just walk around during a surprise birthday party and there it was; definitions from my Women Studies Class being apart of everyday life. Like looking through new lenses from my lectures and reading, I had seen more than I had anytime before. I saw female peers waiting hand and foot for men. I saw how they waited on the men to even start the party. Patriarchy was definitely a  huge part of the night. The only sense of refreshment I can say that I got from that night was from a girl named Tay  who seemed to reject conforming to what society expected her to be and look like. She was very opinionated and even rejected the heteronormative gender roles that all her friends seemed to follow. Society has constructed the world in a way that there is little   to no wiggle room. At this surprise party the men were trying to flirt with the girls and vice versa. I would have liked to see more resistance from the women and taking the night into their own hands instead of making the men the center of conversation as well as the party. I believe that with more progression, will bring about better wisdom and pride. I know that with this knowledge I will even be different. While there is nothing wrong with being nice to male counterparts, gender expectation and obligation should definitely be examined.
