I challenge you to describe these initial reactions without fear of judgment. Don’t worry about being wrong are called out, and understand that stereotypes aren’t built on air. I think you will find that there are a number of commonalities and, in many cases, valid generalizations that are worthy of discussion. You will also have plenty of opportunity to adjust your conceptions as the conversation moves forward. Give yourself some room to move.
2. Replies: This week will be one where you need to be on top of your game. You are required to ask every poster a question about their initial impressions concerning feminism. You will not judge and you will not berate, but you should ask questions that challenge stereotypes and clarify reasons and beliefs. I have been known to offer extra credit if the original poster responds to their classmates, but this depends greatly on quality.
