Since it’s used I’m ordering a new battery and charger. It also needs to be reprogrammed so I ordered a cable and drivers. The glowing antenna I bought earlier fits to this radio. It’s hard to find on the market but if it breaks there’s plenty of parts on ebay. Total cost: 1144.67 SEK.

Gender is a social construct designed by us humans. We ourselves assign male and female gender constructs from the moment the child is born. The idea of gender, which once appeared to be just black and white, is being broken down into multiple different shades of grey, yellow, red, pink, blue, green, and purple. The gender spectrum is now wide with new genders appearing, and people truly expressing how they feel inside. However, I personally feel that people are treating gender identity as a trend. Many people say that they are something else that they are not to gain attention and are treating it as a joke. This is a serious break through happening in our society, and for people treating gender as some type of trend is not appropriate, and is disrespectful to people who truly are expressing themselves the way they feel inside. 

I was astonished to learn that sex trafficking still exists in our modern culture today. It is disgusting and terrifying to know that your child could be taken away from you at any moment, when you are not watching them, and just be swiped away to another country to do the unthinkable. I felt sorry for Amiyah, as she was taken from her life, and most importantly her innocence was taken away from her by force. No girl should have to go through any frightening situation where they are taken from there families, forced into prostitution, and possibly even drugged. It is sickening and vulgar to know that they are men that will force young innocent girls and boys who have been kidnapped from their families to have their way. I am positive that if those men had children of their own they would think twice before creating a business that endangers the well being of other children. 

As of April 6th, Bobbie Ridgely, came to speak to us for our third plenary. Originally I had thought that I would be bored throughout the whole talk due to the fact I know I will not be doing anything related to STEM majors, but I was proven wrong. When she first started to speak, I'm not going to lie, her speech was a little uninteresting to me, but when she started to speak about her career in general I started paying more attention. As I have yet to pick out my major, I'm scared that I will choose a major that I will no longer like when I'm older or will be able to find a job with whatever my future major will be. Hearing Mrs. Ridgely speak about having similar fears trying to get back into her work field industry after taking a break due to her daughter made me realize, regardless of what major I choose there will always be something for me to do. As Mrs. Ridgely said, we just have to be confident wherever we go, even if we have to fake it. I myself am very shy and find it difficult to talk or to places that I do not recognize, and hearing what our speaker said made me realize that I'm not the only one who feels that way. If she could go out and get a job in something that is completely different from her field, then I most certainly can too, if my major doesn't seem to full work out.

I attended the event Speak like a girl in my building, Katzenbach. There I heard different girls recite poems that they made about relationships, double standards, the difficulties girls face, and disorders. There were also some other girls that either performed, showing off their talents, like singing, or they talked about their personal experiences about life in general. There was one specific girl performing that resonated the most with me. She made two poems, one about eating disorders, and another where she compared her love to flame. I really connected with her poem about how her love is like flame that must be protected by her counterpart otherwise it will disappear and she will be left broken. It made me feel reassured that I was not the only one who has ever felt that way about love. I thought it was uniquely well-put how she compares love to a lighter’s flame that can easily be put out if not well protected from the slightest breeze. It was a good night to hear about struggles that girls around my age are feeling about the world. 

In class we talked about how women are represented in media and advertisements, and how realistic or unrealistic women are being portrayed. It is clear that most magazines, TV commercials, and billboards photoshop all women in their advertisements, creating unrealistic goals for women such as having clear bright skin, no cellulite, and having tiny waists. Most people talk about the unrealistic goals created for women, but I feel like we forget that women are not the only ones being unrealistically portrayed. Feminism is belief in the equality of the sexes, therefore it is important to also include men into the discussion about the terrors of photoshop in social media. Men are also advertised with false goals such as having big muscles, shiny teeth, and a full head of thick hair. Both men and women are subjugated into believing that they have to alter themselves to what the media says is the perfect image of man and woman. This has severe consequences on the human mind, making one believe that we will never be good enough for society because we do not meet their current culture’s beauty standards on what is acceptable. 

Today, February 17th, Caitlin Kenney came to us and talked about her job as a journalist who creates podcasts about people from different backgrounds and telling the other half of the story that you will never see. My original thinking was that this plenary would be dull and be her straight up telling us that as women we have to empowered women and encourage us to be feminists, just like my other friends who took this class last semester said. On the contrary it was the exact opposite of what I was told and expected. She gave us inside details about her job, and you could see the enthusiasm she had to share to the world the things you normally don’t hear on the news. Her love for her job made me realize that maybe we shouldn’t focus on a career that would get us paid handsomely or give us fame, but rather do something that we love. The way she expressed her excitement for her job, subtly gave out the message that we should do what we love and you do anything you want regardless of what degree you graduate with. Her way of narrating and story telling made the plenary way more beyond interesting than I originally expected it to be. Without even mentioning a single word about feminism or empowerment of women, she made you feel empowered to go out and do what you love when you graduate. I honestly didn’t to feel excited and encouraged after this plenary, but it did. Maybe I felt that way because she is a journalist and that’s exactly what she’s good at, catching you’re attention and making you feel some type of way. But overall I really felt better about my future and possible careers may end up with.
