Rachel's Feminist Speech

• Women do two thirds of the work
• Women own/earn 10% of the money
• Women own 1% of property 

It's totally equal!!!

Men and women have misogynistic views without knowing it because of the ideologies of society, we are taught from a young age to think certain things. 

Rape Culture is huge thing 

It's not seen as a big of a deal anymore; some tabloids or people sometimes say the girl was asking for it because of the way she was dressed

We are judged unfairly because of the media

Women are seen as objects to look at because of things like Page 3 Glamour models, it's not news... why is it in a newspaper??

Every 2 minutes sexual abuse occurs

Links To The Snow Child: 

• Snow child is born for sexual purposes to pleasure the man only 
• Countess can't control anything her husband does; patriarchal society 
• "I can replace the items" Count owns everything (including the Countess) and controls what the money is spent on. He can replace anything he wants to... Countess is next to go. 
• Countess needs to get rid of the Snow Child in order to be the Count's number one, self-reliance isn't a thing she is capable of, she must depend on a man to take care of her. 

Links to The Bloody Chamber:

• Everything is his, nothing is shared, the protagonist is only invited in and given his keys to look after, she has no possessions of her own. Him saying she cannot go into one room demonstrates how even though he's giving her the keys, he has the power, the money, the property and the control over her actions. 
• Cannot depend on herself, goes from marrying the Count to then being with the piano tuner, she is saved by a phallic symbol belonging to her father, needs a man to survive.
