Question #1, Slide 6: If we agree that religion reflects something of essential reality and our experience, the stakes are very high, so it’s understandable that feminist theologians are compelled to address religious traditions that perpetuate the idea that women are inferior. For the first time in history, sexism in traditional religion has been made the subject of widespread religious study. On this slide here are some of the questions feminist theologians are asking. Study the question and choose one or two that you find interesting and explain in no less that 100 words why this particular topic interests you and what you anticipate or hope to learn more about. I would say that out of the questions that are given within the slide, “is it possible to reform traditional religions?” is the most interesting and attention grabbing to me. As to why, I would say it is because this is a question, I commonly ask myself, as a person of color and a member of the LGBTQ+ community religious beliefs have a major impact on how many people view me and my lifestyle, thus the belief of reforming or shedding away the negative effects and ideals that many traditional religions have implemented and regularized has always been a concept that has grabbed me and has allowed me to hope for something better to come as society seemingly continues evolving in a more accepting direction. I especially hope to learn more about how these ideas have been implemented within these religious practices, and why exactly they. Question #2, Slide 7: Examine theses paintings by Renaissance painters Leonardo de Vinci and Michelangelo. In no less than 50 words, identify the gender roles and identifications that are being communicated through this imagery. Explain. In the case of the painting, Madonna on the rocks, I would say that this is an example of the seemingly existing patriarchal mindset that women are more nurtures and the care givers of children and thus point is best shown in the fact both women are depicted showing a more motherly role, with said women depicted caring for and seemingly nurturing the children that are
with them. In the case of the painting, fresco panel, I would say this is a more stereotypical depiction of a male being depicted in a much more aggressive, authoritarian role, with the man seemingly aggressively pointing and his followers seemingly listening and praising his leadership ability.
