Mapping Everyday

My very first thoughts when reading the opening paragraph of this article, "Wow, I don't understand a word of this." After slowly reading through the following paragraphs I found that it became easier to read. Was this because the vocabulary became easier? No, it was easier to read because I could relate to the article. I obviously cant say that I understood everything the article was talking about, however I can say that I understand the claims made about sexism. Today the media overwhelmingly portrays women as submissive and less powerful than men. I find this degrading, and offensive. The rest of the issues outlined in this article are just as powerful as issue as sexism and I find it hard to believe that human beings are still as racist and sexist as they were hundreds of years before.
