I finally finished creating my e-portfolio...that was extremely fun! The first portrait assignment can tell a little about the person. At least my portrait to me is clear that I am a girl since I have my hair up in a ponytail. I found my-self comparable to the line Rachel Fudge used to describe 3rd wave feminism - "pro-femininity if you want it." I can definitely be girlie at times and then sometimes I could care less if my hair looks nice or if my clothes match. As you can see, I was having an 'I don't care day' and pulled my hair back. I think it is important and at this present time that I express myself the way I want. There can be some negative feedback if I make certain decisions about the way I lead my life, but to me it is important to fulfill my own desires. I also find it very important to talk about the feminist issues that our society still faces because it will only become a bigger issue if we avoid the problems. Even though feminism exists today, I feel fortunate for what former women and men have worked towards.
