Reflection
After reading the F-Word it started to make me that some points seemed useless to the point where it confused me. That on pg(20) where it says that women where granted to right to vote to a certain point. With african american women couldn't vote because there lack of education which was just unacceptable. And that even though they were women that were excluded becasue of there color with is nonsense. To the point where the some white would refuse to acknowledge them due to there skin color.
Also i did not understand in pg(23) why the women got arrested for giving away condoms. If they just wanted to protect themselves. Why were men not obligated to where them. And that could just have sex and there would not be a double standard. It was not like they were getting abortions they were just trying to protect themselves. I didn't like how the writer felt about her heritage and how strong she felt about it. Also that she was a decent of all of these strong women, who fought for there rights.
The whole condom thing at that time might have been in part due to the whole don't have sex unless you are trying to have a baby church dogma, but I am not sure. In the mind of some, that could have just as bad as an abortion. Then, again that could just have been a smoke screen for a double standard (not sure about that time peroid and this part of the world).
