Poetry Slam

so i have been watching a lot of poetry from poetry slams on youtube since i found the one I showed in class the other day. These are some of my findings:

This first link is to a video that is called Pretty. This one was especially strong because it really pointed out the flaws in our society and how the idea of "pretty" starts at such a young age. Our lives begin to revolve around whether or not we are fuckable, the idea that a five letter word can  make it so that we change who we are inside and out just so we may be accepted n society for something we're not.

The second link is to another poetry slam and this one is called How to Cure a Feminist. This video speaks so much to how a person will bend and break to fit someone else's molding. To the idea that there is something wrong with women that want to fight for equality and how the idea we need to be "cured" is so wrong its almost like carving an identity into someone else's skin. This video starts off funny and gradually gets more and more serious which really shows how this topic is treated as nothing, but the longer we let it progress the worse it gets and we need to address what is happening now before the ideas are locked up and shoved in a closet.
