That's not always the case and for the men who don't fit into those categories often feel like they don't fit into society. An example of products are that men can buy clothes designed for your gender that have pockets they can actually use. Women are often focused on being "slim" so pockets are hard to come by when buying women clothing such as sweatpants or even some jeans.]]> 2018-06-28 17:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/268888293 rachel_l_schumaier https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/268888809 This CNN video discusses the differences between race and white privilege.

She talks about how the malory of people knew certain names from the media and the majority of people knew the male names and none knew the female names because gender is the difference. There's violence against women and police violence against women and their names get lost and forgotten because there are no frames.

There is an underlying theme of cultural appropriation, particularly how said appropriation can lead to the erasure of the people who originated their culture. Amandla Stenberg summed it up best in her treatie on cultural appropriation and epic read of repeat offender Kylie Jenner. Rivalry, outside of beauty and romance, is not a trait traditionally fostered in girls. In fact, even in 2015 women are still vilified for being competitive in sports and demonstrating the same level of passion for their field as men. Bring It On was exemplary for demonstrating both skilled competitors and effective leaders in a very athletic environment.]]> 2018-07-05 16:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/269491320 rachel_l_schumaier https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/269491676 This educational video discusses how disabled people aren't treated equally and how society views the able body as "normal" and anyone who falls outside of this group must be abnormal.

But what is the scenario like in different parts of Europe? How are the debates around the concepts of ‘feminising’ or ‘feministing politics’ and the gender-transformative policies in countries like Spain and Romania? The notion covers both descriptive and substantive gender representation. Feminising descriptive representation means increasing women’s presence in decision making while feminising substantive representation strengthens the need to develop a gender inclusive political agenda that will advance women or gender friendly public policies. These approaches should be clearly understood as two ways of feminising politics that can work hand in hand or independently.]]> 2018-07-05 17:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/269492614 rachel_l_schumaier https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/269492781 Effective activism follows a cycle. We start with our theory of how change happens. Then we take action based on our theory. Then we take a step back and reflect on how the action went, which re-shapes our theory. Basically, praxis means “learning.” It may seem simple, but few activists actually do it. Praxis requires us to be students of our own experience and context. It’s not just about being smart and reflecting. It’s also about building specific behaviors and group norms that promote habits of strategy, debrief and revision. It’s about your group’s meeting style, organizational structure and leadership dynamics.]]> 2018-07-05 17:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/269492781 rachel_l_schumaier https://padlet.com/rachel_l_schumaier/v5hlk51p0eee/wish/269493160 This video discusses how much of a difference can young people make in addressing the problems our society faces?

The outcry lasts only a few days before guns fade back into the background noise of American politics, but nearly three weeks after a gunman walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., and killed 17 people with an AR-15, the conversation has not faded, because the students have taken up the cause of gun control.
