Document Summary

Ugis 112 - midterm prep / study guide. A social custom forbidding discussion of a particular practice/way of being. We feel uncomfortable talking about disability bc culture has taught us to be silent/scared. Seeing a disabled person on the street as a child. Our exposure to disability is mostly through fundraising (march for dimes) Teaches us that disability should/is cred by money. This is enough to contribute to the cause and discourse. Distances self from disability and others even more. Huge ones include sexuality of disabled people. Internalized oppression that disabled women having children is forbidden: stereotypes of disability and of women and girls and how these may intersect. Nadine laspina and her polio as a child. Shame/exclusion of disability intersects with women"s destiny to marry/have kids. Rolelessness - cannot fit stereotypical female roles of motherhood, sexuality, or nun. Men and women are seen as binaries (strong to weak) Women seen as disabled males in some cultures.
