In 2018, ranked this as the #126 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:

Andra Day's 'Rise Up' wasn't intended to be an anthem. The San Diego soul singer says she originally wrote the song, from her debut album Cheers to the Fall, as a prayer for herself during a difficult time. But the rousing song resonated widely with activist communities after its 2015 release - the Black Lives Matter movement in particular. Day performed the song at the 2016 Democratic National Convention just after the mothers of Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis addressed the crowd; by then, 'Rise Up' had become an anthem not just for personal perseverance, but for the wider struggle for social justice in our era.

The racist cloaks his loathing thoughts
behind deceiving eyes
Those men who once wore hoods and robes
Today wear shirts and ties

Their methods changed but yet and still,
Their mission is the same
Today they lynch with politics,
the racist's favorite game

Divide and conquer is their plan
to keep minorities
From seeing that the forest lies
just shortly past the trees

Racism lurks within the press,
courthouses, banks and schools
Black folks convinced that all is well
have certainly been fooled

A racist underground exists,
a chilling fact indeed
They seek to kill, steal and destroy,
We can't let them succeed

What even is gender(and why does it matter)?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gender expectations can be really limiting and even super dangerous. This doesn't mean gender is "bad" or that it always causes problems, but there are some serious bits we need to be aware of.

It's really important that we don't box people into male/man or female/woman if that doesn't work for them. It's up to each individual to determine their gender, their interests and we've all gotta respect that.

Limiting our options

Society often teaches us that our roles are being the leader and sporty OR being nice and caring for children. We're also told that to fit into society's gender roles we should be muscly and fearless OR be pretty and caring.

Notice that without us even saying, you know which of these describes traditional ideas of men vs. women?! That's gender (not biological sex) in action.

It doesn't mean if you're a guy and you do like sport that it's bad, it just means that you should be doing speckies because you like it and not only because you're a guy.

The dangerous side

Gender stereotypes can mean we do things that we assume are ok because of the ideas we've been taught about "what boys do/think/like/want" and "what girls do/think/like/want". INSTEAD we should be asking and listening to each individual person, because we're all heaps different.

For example, lots of us are taught that guys are entitled to sex and girls exist to give it up - just think of the stud v slut stereotypes out there! But these ideas risk violating consent because they focus on assumptions about "girls" rather than teaching us to talk to each other as individuals. (And remember, sex without 100% consent is sexual assault. Read more articles on consent.)

Want another example? Guys are taught to hide their feelings and keep it all in. So when things get shitty they often don't reach out. Sadly this is a big part of why suicide rates are really high for young guys.

A huge part of creating happy and safe relationships (of all kinds - sexy, friends, siblings, work etc.) for ALL OF US is breaking down gender stereotypes so that we get rid of these bits that are putting us all at risk.

SO, ultimately it's about respect. Respect each other for who we all are as individuals. Respect our right to determine our identities, including gender. Respect.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was an American feminist writer. At the time, her ideas were unorthodox, and her accomplishments as a feminist writer were groundbreaking. "The Yellow Wallpaper" is one of her most famous short stories, as it captures the attitudes towards women's mental health in the 19th century.
