Discussion questions

This is the character called Eleven in 

the Netflix series Stranger Things. How do we as an audience react to her? How do the other characters in the series react to her. How does she seem when wearing a girls' wig?

bell hooks

Discussion points

1) Could black male sexist behaviour be a reaction to their own experiences as humiliated victims of slavery.?

 Or is this a stereotypical assumption?

2) bell hooks' views on male desensitization could also link to the crisis of masculinity. Explain this concept.

Watch Mrs Fisher's video and complete the sentences: 

1) Women are not all ........ against in the same way or to the same extent.

2) Discrimination and oppression against women  vary depending on ... and class.
