My name is Lauren Bandurchin; i'm a senior majoring in social work, with sociology and psychology minors. I'm from a small town in upstate NY called Vestal, but i usually tell people i'm from the neighboring town of Binghamton.
Although Feminism hasn't been a big part of my life in the past I have always identified myself as a feminist. With a little help from this class i'm hoping I can become a better and stronger advocate for women's empowerment and gender equality.
My sign reads "I need feminism because i'm tired of people judging me based on my appearance, instead of what i'm capable of on the inside." In my life people have always prejudged me based on my looks without having the opportunity to get to know the real me. I'm tired of having to defend my intelligence, independence and strength to people who assume i'm a slutty moron or view me as a dumb blonde. I need feminism because i hate gender stereotypes and I want to work towards a society that sees individuality instead of stereotypes.
