We are F.O.R.C.E. - Feminist Organization Reclaiming Consciousness and Equality. Our purpose is to bring dialogue to stimulate an understanding of feminisms by raising consciousness of women's issues, which include but are not limited to personal experience, agency, and the understanding of women's differences and similarities. In order to reach these goals we plan to educate and inform the campus community through activities and workshops. Lastly, F.O.R.C.E. will support the WRC, other campus organizations, and various departments that believe in the enrichment of women's lives.

Glossary

All too often, people are intimidated by feminism, unsure of how to approach a subject loaded with unfamiliar jargon (that is, technical words). Once you've grafted these words into your vocabulary, you'll understand where we're coming from, and why we choose to call ourselves feminists.

gender	the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex
gender role	the preconceived and socialized roles that are assigned to a person based solely on their gender
heterosexism	the assumption that heterosexuality is the only normal orientation
intersex	intermediate in sexual characters between a typical male and a typical female
misogyny	a hatred of women
patriarchy	control by men of a disproportionately large share of power
queer	any sort of sexual orientation that differs from the “norm” of hetereosexuality.
