In Chapter 2 of Women of Color and Feminism and in both of the videos you watched this week, the emphasis is on how women of color are sexualized and exploited for their bodies (turned into sexual objects, denying their humanity and individuality).
To respond to this week's prompt, be sure to quote Maythee Rojas and at least one of the videos in your response. The prompt has two parts, so be sure to respond to both.
PROMPT - respond to both parts:
Tell us about one recent negative, sexualized portrayal of women of color in the media. What stereotypes and historical images does this portrayal rely on?
Tell us about one recent positive portrayal of women of color in them media (this would be a portrayal of a woman of color as a full human being, not simply one to be sexualized or exploited). What makes this portrayal positive?
