In “Feminist Manifesto”, Loy is encouraging women to take charge of their life by taking control and having their own identities that are different from men. This show us even back then in 1900’s women were fighting for their rights and individuality to have their own identity in society. When Loy said “The desire for comfortable protection instead of and intelligent curiosity and courage in meeting…” Loy tells women that they should strive for something other than comfortable protection by men. They should strive for intelligent curiosity and courage.
If I were to write a manifesto about women in our society, the issues I might write about would be the violence against women. By having an understanding of violence in relationships, families and communities is a root cause for violence in our society. We need to change how this problem manifests and magnifies itself in society at large to address the problem at its core. By changing an individual point of view towards domestic violence, we may achieve a transformation of society overtime.
I am not sure what you mean by writing this issue in a bold way, but since this manifesto will be about my view, motives and intentions I would try to write it in a way that promotes my idea for carrying out changes about domestic violence.
Loy makes several bold statements–it’s the nature of a manifesto to be bold, to make the claims that might not be possible in the everyday existence of the cause, company, or organization, but is in the ideal.
When you use a quotation, be sure not to cut it off in the middle of a thought. I know it’s hard with this text since it isn’t punctuated normally, but you stopped in the middle of Loy’s point about separating love from the desire to feel protected.
It sounds like your point is that in the man-woman relationship, the woman isn’t necessarily offered protection. One of the stories we’ll read later in the semester, Sandra Cisneros’s “Woman Hollering Creek,” addresses domestic violence specifically, and it will be an issue in other texts we read. This is such an important topic to raise–please feel free to read ahead if you want to see how Cisneros addresses it in her short story.
