Women are still being oppressed in the work place when it comes to income. Even more so, women of color.

A small article talking about a short film produced by Girl Effect that is extremely powerful. As powerful as an animated video can be in 2 minutes and 4 seconds. Girl Effect has a media network that is available in 40 countries and 24 languages to inspire oppressed women everywhere.

Strong police force has been called to forcibly remove pipeline protestors. Native Americans are continuing to be oppressed hundreds of years after the white man has arrived in the Americas.

Miss Iceland was body shamed for not being thin enough, so she simply dropped out of the pageant. Good for her, if you ask me.

But something else I noticed that was new; Gender-neutral locker rooms. Even though they seemed much smaller than the other locker rooms, hardly a locker room at all, it is still a big step in the right direction for a place like Fargo, ND.]]> 2016-10-28 01:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/133796360 Pirelli Keeps It Real alexrushing87 https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140691091 https://twitter.com/i/moments/803718558962237440
Pirelli, a tire producer, releases a calendar every year. In the 2017 calendar, lots of the photos (of women) are untouched and unedited. I like to think of this as standing up against the unrealistic expectations necessary to be a model.]]> 2016-11-30 00:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140691091 Evan Rachel Wood Speaks Openly About the Unspoken alexrushing87 https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140691565 https://twitter.com/i/moments/803676911876575232
I don't know if we can consider this as necessarily "feminist" praxis, but the actress from Westworld talks openly about violence and rape from her past. This is massive to show people that these issues need to be talked about. Rape isn't something to hide. ]]> 2016-11-30 00:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140691565 Beyonce Trumps with Lemonade alexrushing87 https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140691933 https://twitter.com/i/moments/803626988577681408

Lupita is a kenyan actress who was born in Mexico. So not only does she have the struggle of being a woman, but she's also deals with the oppression of being a minority in more ways than one. Thing is, she won an Oscar and now she is getting her own comedy show. She's killing it and she has nowhere to go but up from here. She's also featured in a calendar that I talk about in my Praxis section down below. ]]> 2016-11-30 00:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140692424 Butt Mitzvah? alexrushing87 https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140693142 http://www.vice.com/read/butt-mitzvah-young-gay-jewish

Vice takes photos of trans gendered people in the bathrooms of their choice and talks a little about the anxiety that comes with it. This is of serious importance because if we ever want everyone to feel comfortable doing natural things such as using the bathroom, we need more articles like this.]]> 2016-11-30 00:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140694415 Names and Pronouns Mean More than Some Think alexrushing87 https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140694793 http://www.vice.com/read/whats-in-a-name-for-some-trans-people-everything
Harrison Browne recently came out as transgender. Thing is, he plays hockey in the National Women's Hockey League. His story got massive coverage, which is necessary to help open the eyes of the general public. There's many struggles that go along with being transgender, no matter where you identify.]]> 2016-11-30 00:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140694793 "Gender in Fashion is Dead" alexrushing87 https://padlet.com/alexrushing87/WGSthreshholds/wish/140695255 http://www.vice.com/read/gender-in-fashion-is-dead-these-designers-killed-it

An article talking about the fact that fashion can go any way at this point. Gender doesn't mean much to many designers and fashion symbols. I think of this article as representing intersectionality and feminist praxis.
