Theses posters are showing how it has become the responsibility of the women for getting raped or drugged. We are not teaching men to stop theses acts, but teaching women how to live in this kind of society but telling them not to leave their drinks out and yelling fire instead of rape. We cannot conform, but change how society is shaped for we are society.

Can’t even do the fake number anymore smh

This post really struck out to me.  I cannot count the numerous amount of times I have had several family members reiterate to me that I should never leave my cup without watch, but that I should always get a new drink if by any chance I leave mines unattended. It is a shame that this has become a reoccurring theme amongst young women.  It is also a shame that many girls feel the need to have to give a fake number rather than just turning the guy down.  This is something I constantly feel pressured to do.  It truly is sad that I am fearful of how a guy will react if I turn him down.  This speaks loudly on today’s society and the hardships that many young girls/women deal with.

A bit disturbing, this video is an accurate representation of the standards of beauty created by us today. Our perception of beauty is unattainable. Today’s ideal body type is almost impossible to achieve and difficult to get without plastic surgery. When I first watched this video I was horrified but I couldn’t help but realize that this in fact is the truth.

Today, there are a number of cases of magazines photo-shopping celebrities and creating unrealistic faces and body shapes to portray a certain image of beauty. Women are bombarded with attention from the media, commercials, and products to help better themselves. A new way society is tearing apart the female body is the “thigh gap” craze. The thigh gap is exactly what it sounds like, except now society has created another unhealthy standard for not only women but for young girls. This new craze is being targeted among young girls, allowing them to grow up in an environment that prevents them from having the confidence they need to grow up with. Essentially, these girls grow up in an environment that forces them to bend toward society’s standards, promoting not only an unhealthy lifestyle but unhappy life.

This video was disturbing but it also gives perspective to what is actually happening around the world today. The standards of beauty in society and the world is basically summed up in this video. It is sad that women have to endure so many changes to their bodies for them to be claimed “hot” or “pretty” or “skinny” or etc. It shows the truth behind the changes to ones body and mind, and how society needs to change its standards of beauty, as this is unhealthy, and it just creates monsters in society who ruin confidence, balance and life.

This video was rather difficult to watch. I noticed the idea of what is beautiful is always changing. We are always told we need to change our bodies because of society and the media. Towards the end, the woman looks dead. It shows we have to love ourselves. Also that no matter what we do, we will never be perfect because we are human. Perfection is unrealistic

Awesome women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields!

[herranaaddisu]

we need to show young women that it is possible to work in STEM and we are able to do it. Women are not only created to give birth and be mothers. We can do so much more  and we need to inform young girls that they can do it.

Sexual Identity

People find it difficult to define a person's sexuality and i believe this occurs because a person's sexuality cannot be defined. It is hard to label and define and place our self in a category. Ones sexuality is harder to define because it is complex and has many factors. A person's sexuality can be impacted due to their race, gender, and other factors. In the class activity, we discussed some people find themselves in the "grey" area. The "Grey area" is where a person is not heterosexual or homosexual, they are in the middle of the range.
