Welcome

Welcome to the BLOG for my sections of WS 190, Introduction to Women's Studies.

The purpose of this BLOG is to give you an opportunity to comment on the news that is of interest to young feminists today.

Each Monday, you will receive an assignment to guide your comment. Some weeks you will comment on a link I have posted, and other weeks you will paste and comment on a link you post from Feministing.com. Your posts will be due by the following Monday.

Comments must be at least 5 full lines long.

I create several posts that you can respond to optionally. These might take the form of an extension of class discussion or the opportunity to comment on other news events.

Follow the requirements for posting as outlined below.

Requirements for Comments

Comments must be at least 5 lines long.

WS190.blogspot.com is a platform for not only discussion among feminist students and allies, but for reaching (open, not hateful) students who may not agree with many feminist points of view. Comment threads are a big part of what facilitates this dialogue between feminists and skeptics.

All comments must include a direct response to the original post and link. Do not simply repeat what previous commenters have said, but you can say you agree with other commenters if you discuss why.

YOU MUST RESPOND NOT JUST TO THE REPORTING OF NEWS, BUT TO THE BLOGGERS' ANALYSIS OF THE NEWS AS WELL. Do you agree with the Blogger? Why or why not?

Please comment in a way that trusts that everyone is doing her or his best. Treat other comments with respect.

When you disagree:
Please feel free to voice disagreements, but HOW you do so is important! Be polite and respectful. Before disagreeing, make sure your opinion is well-informed, meaning you have read the initial post and its link very carefully and have read the prior comments to that post as well.

What isn't allowed:
Comments that contain personal attacks, hate speech or offensive language will be deleted and their authors will not receive credit. Racist and sexist comments, as well as victim blaming are never allowed. Commenters who derail threads (i.e. choose not to discuss the subject of the original post or whose comments reveal a lack of familiarity with the thread of discussion) will not receive credit. NO SARCASM. As the editor, I use my discretion in determining which comments meet the criteria for extra credit.
