For our in class interview this week we talked about the double standard that society seems to have on race activists and gender activists and why that may be. My interviewee stated that she believes race activists are more positively supported because of religion. She mentioned how in religion women are typically seen as less than men therefore the need to fight against the inequality was less legitimate because it isn't religiously supported. We talked about how religion supports the idea that men are superior. For example, in some religion women came from the rib of the man. Giving the idea that women is but only a minor fraction of what a man is or how women do most of the wrong in bible stories and men have to clean up the mess. These examples she gave support her idea of why people may think gender activists aren't as legitimate as race activists.
