Feministing Post

The logo of woman flipping her middle finger on the Feministing.com website demonstrates a carefree, independent, and to some degree a rebellious nature. This website is definitely pro-feminist and repeatedly reminds the readers/ audience that woman have a strong voice. Another message that is conveyed through the different articles and videos is that woman play a vital role in society, and should not be undermined. In some articles they discuss the advocacy groups Women Under Siege and Women's Media Center, which are female dominated groups. The mentioning of these groups is demonstrating the use of Logos, which is the use of data or facts to persuade the reader that this is an important topic. The fact that articles are written about very controversial issues such as abortion and at the same time have articles that discuss the newest female cast member on SNL, is very interesting. To some degree the use of inappropriate language to talk about serious topics such as the age of consent laws, loses credibility or ethos of this website; but at the same time attracts the reader to want to read it. I clicked this article right away when I saw the "f" word on the link, I then read the article and the use of pathos pulled me in emotionally and I began to connect with the writer and understand the message of the article.
