In a group primarily formed with women, this event, a boy joining a dance team, was big enough to make the news. The coach even comments that she has to remind herself to refer to the group as "you all" or "you guys" instead of "ladies" or "girls..." though "guys" is a masculine term for the entire team.]]> 2019-09-13 01:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/383584038 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/383586129 Nike's Ad "Dream Crazier" challenges the double standards of gender norms popularized by society in sports. This ad challenges the idea that when women are emotional, it is hysterical, unreasonable, and ultimately, uncalled for. This ad takes a stand for women to express that it is okay - and at one point, all things seemed crazy.

This article looks at how there is a lesser gender gap for people who can, and do, put in extra hours at work, but for a mother of two with a husband also working more than full time, it seems impossible. ]]> 2019-09-13 18:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/383936124 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/383943267 This school district became "aware" of an increasing problem with the length of girl's shorts when going to a strict, uniform only school. After addressing the situation, they decided the entire school should adopt the male dress code of "pants only" to eliminate this problem.

In these ads, men are seemingly in control of a woman, with their hands around their neck, and pouring alcohol into them... meaning that having a Mariner watch would grant you the manliest masculinity to control your woman. ]]> 2019-09-16 02:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/384425921 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/384428275 2019-09-16 02:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/384428275 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386940902 2019-09-20 00:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386940902 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386941564 2019-09-20 00:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386941564 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386941595 2019-09-20 00:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386941595 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386941634 2019-09-20 00:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/386941634 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/399605099 During a match between England and Bulgaria, the game was postponed, in match, twice due to racist chants, Nazi chants and slogans, etc., being said during the game.

At first, it seems as though this is a fight against oppression, but in actuality, she cannot be separated by the fact that she is also white, rich, and heterosexual. Despite being a great picture, it lacks any intersectionality. In reality, being a woman in this position is a great step, but without other differing factors, it seems rudimentary. ]]> 2019-10-18 15:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/399611655 sam_fite3 https://padlet.com/sam_fite3/qvvnwqeecma4/wish/400053493 In this video, a woman addresses her own privilege in a recent altercation with the police.
