RANDOM POLL:

Which puppy would you adopt TODAY? Why? You can adopt several, just one, or none.

2. Money over everything?

amadrid10 — 2021-03-05 15:26:57 UTC

Would you prefer to:
1. Have Lots of Money
2. Have Lots of Friends
3. Be super Intelligent

You can only choose one. Why?

3. Read your classmates' responses to the question: What will it take to break the glass ceiling once and for all. Which resonates most with you?

amadrid10 — 2021-03-05 15:29:09 UTC

A. “We can break that ceiling by breaking stereotypes and expectations of what kind of job a woman or a man should do. This generation can make it happen by posting on social media and bringing awareness.”

B. "It will take a army of feminist of any gender or pronouns to be able to help make women feel safe in a work space or that they have more power than they could imagine and it shouldn't hold them down. Even starting with the youngest generations can help.”

C. "We will be strong and continue to do what we do best. Boys should also stand with us and because they have a bit more respect from bosses, they can bring up these issues and help more women.”

5. Write any public shout outs this time!

4. Read the responses below to yesterday's question: What is the main issue holding people back from being feminists. Which do you agree with most? Why? (P.S. These were all written by young men).

amadrid10 — 2021-03-05 15:38:23 UTC

A. "Men don't want to have the conversation of gender equality because it makes them look weak. When they should be pushing for equality."

B. "People are scared of the word. They think that if there a feminist then they aren't manly enough or they don't fit in with men. Being a feminist has NOTHING to do with changing your political view and sexual orientation. Being a feminist just means that you are supporting women's choices, rights, voice, and bodies."

C. "People are ignoring the problem of feminism just because they aren't the ones dealing with it. This is messed up and needs to change."

8. Review the "We Should All Be Feminists'" Intro

amadrid10 — 2021-03-05 16:00:09 UTC

When my brother Chuks and best friend Ike, both co- organizers of the TEDxEuston conference, insisted that I speak, I could not say no. I decided to speak about feminism because it is something I feel strongly about. I suspected that it might not be a very popular subject, but I hoped to start a necessary conversation.

B. Devastated
C. Ecstatic
