In the lecture, Dr. Boney describes dreams as a place where our unconscious desires are what we would like to be and what we are afraid to come into conflict with. How are dreams shown in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman? Is there a particular panel that stuck out to you? @BoneysDr

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr In my opinion, we kind of already live in this world (not deeply), if we take a look, our society has been dominated by men since the early centuries. In a way, women in today's era already feel as if they don't have a voice and aren't treated as equal as men.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr This is assuming the woman in subject is a feminist hoping for political equality of sexes.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr In my opinion, I think this comic was very exaggerated when it comes to women holding political power (probably the point). Women wouldn't take all power from men, in fact I believe if a woman were to be in power, she would work side by side with a male figure...

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@tambrosi @BoneysDr I agree, I think we see this throughout the comic when Wanda is constantly having second thoughts about her dreams (gender identity) because like you mentioned, those around her are expecting her to be the male she was assigned at birth.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr In this panel she is taking back her dream to become the woman she knows she is on the inside and begins to show her true self on the outside. I think this panel is powerful, because it shows she isn't afraid of being herself anymore.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr When I read this tweet it reminded me of what Dr.Boney said about dreams in the lecture "an unconscious desire of what we are afraid to come into conflict with." Wanda has been told by everyone she interacts with that she can't possibly change her gender...

@jani_tx @kabowers1992 @BoneysDr Thank you for sharing this, I wouldn't have thought of it that way!

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@jani_tx @TaulaAj @BoneysDr yes I agree I think it's definitely a way to mock what once was before the war and her story describes what it eventually turned into.

@BoneysDr ...we wear too tight of clothing, called a slut or a whore, but if we wear looser fitting clothing we are lazy and unprofessional. I think in a way this panel mocks these accusations.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr I discussed this panel a little in my flipgrid this week. We see these women stereotyping the way she is dressed as a "whore" because she has tighter clothing and isn't covering her hair all the way. I think this is to show how women feel in society today, punished if...

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr I think she does a great job narrating how it felt to be in the middle of this change during the war, especially with the young children at the bottom of the page. Chaotically running around confused and some scared.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr This panel really opened my eyes to the trauma these women had to face. Having to live a strict life out of your control is dehumanizing, especially for a young woman like marji. I'm fortunate to have the privilege to identify as a woman free of fundamentalism.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@kabowers1992 @tambrosi @BoneysDr Personally, it upsets me to think because of their personal problems with one another that they couldn't support Alison when she needed it the most. This is a common theme in many tv shows/movies. I wonder why that is?

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@kabowers1992 @tambrosi @BoneysDr of protection.

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@kabowers1992 @tambrosi @BoneysDr I agree with this. I also think it's hard for him to accept Alison, because he doesn't want her to be hurt. We all know how society can be when it comes to gender. I think in a way him trying to keep these feelings she's having about her identity is a way...

[Samantha Mallory @_Mallory23]

@BoneysDr I find it very interesting, yet not surprising. Many of our literature comes from male writers. I think when she uses some of this in Fun Home it's a way to mock gender sterotypes.
