The personal is political in many different ways in which evidence is provided in A Day Without Feminism. This article proves the fact that society has shaped our jobs as females and males to be completely different for the sole reason of keeping women oppressed and left out of important jobs and activities. For example, Being female in school in the 1970’s means that they are not able to perform in activities like a lot of sports. Men are not allowed to participate in “female” related activities like sewing. Men are also allowed to be out as long as they want, and females have a curfew and are not allowed out during most dark hours. This has definitely changed a lot up until I was in high school considering there were no gender specific activities and required classes or gender exclusive classes for males or females. My parents also made sure rules like curfew were earned between my brother and I and were more determined on age rather than gender. However, a lot of my friends growing up who had brothers would complain a lot about how their brothers were treated differently which made me appreciate the environment that I grew up in. The phrase of if the personal is political to me hasn’t effected me that much up until this point, but there are some instances that I have seen it affect other females of my age.
