Feminist_rhetoric []

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose to evaluate Feminist Rhetoric so I could understand the ways in which the Feminist perspective impacts communication theory. Feminist Rhetoric aims to not just focus on feminism, but provide inclusivity for all marginalized groups. I think it's an important topic of discussion as it challenges western, patriarchal ideas that don't always fit in society today.

Overall, the article provides the reader with a general understanding behind the need for a feminist rhetoric. The information provided in the article gave definitions, goals, and the history behind this perspective without much bias or irrelevant information. I was distracted by one piece of information in the writing, when an editor noted "A group that has been silenced for 2500 years." That seems to be a very specific set of years and the citation only goes to another website with the same quote without any further citation. The information articulated in the article is up-to-date, as feminist rhetoric is a relatively new academic discipline. I venture to argue that in today's political climate, there would be people who find this article to be heavily-biased due to the nature of its content being about the feminist perspective in regards to rhetoric. I don't find the viewpoints particularly biased, though. The article does a good job at providing equitable coverage for all marginalized groups.
