Torrey Tinney Summary

Torrey Tinney was able to fulfill the minimum requirements of creating one post per module, for a total of 5 blog posts for the semester. For Module 1, she discussed about the overview of what feminists before us have already done, leading to today’s feminine rights to vote. She talked mostly about the position of women in politics, which is appropriate for the readings of the first module. However, her explanations were more of a brief overview rather than a detailed one. She also didn’t provide any citations which made it seem like most of what she said was personal opinion. For her second post, she provided an excellent analysis of feminism and women of color. I liked how she connected it to the first module by using the Combahee River Collective
Statement. The articles and books she used were appropriate for the module as well. For Module 3, she chose Simone and Sojourner for her topic. She was able to weave feminism and trans feminism well. For module 4, she combined lectures 9 and 10 to come up with the topics of sex, pornography, and reproduction. She was able to explain the topics really well, as she quoted several lines from her references and explained it. For Module 5, she chose the readings under Dangerous Women With Guns. She did a great job connecting phallic power to women’s subordination. She cited several of the assigned readings on her blogs but she did not provide a reference list. I also found a few grammatical errors on her posts. Although the images she used helped her topics, she could have used more pictures to amplify her analysis even more, as well as her creativity. Overall, I would give her a grade of 22/25.
