At SPHYR Summit 2017, Jenkins SPHYR club lead a workshop called The Flames of Sexism. (This is a lengthy metaphor, so stay with me).

The logs of the fire represent the systems that feed that flames of sexism, including; schools, media, home life, work, and sporting events.

The flames are the consequences of sexism, which include limited opportunities for women to succeed, societal expectations, and harmful gender roles.

So, how do we put out the flames? Why, the water of equality, of course! Rain drops added at the end of the workshop included sayings such as “Hobbies are gender neutral” “There are more than two genders” “Men can be emotional” “Women can be tough” and more. 

And who are the firefighters? These awesome, inspiring, world changing, teenage activists that are working everyday to create a society where all people are equal in all ways.

(The smoke of the fire represents the consequences that men face, which also include harmful gender roles and expectations. However, you cannot be sexist towards men, the same way you cannot be racist towards white people. Standing in the smoke of the fire isn’t great, but it’s a lot better than being stuck in the fire pit.)

I’m getting to the tail end of my research proposal (it’s just a hypothetical one) and I’m getting super emotional because I’m like “I want to be clear that the survivors being interviewed have 90% of control of this interview.” As the hypothetical interviewer, my 10% would be guiding the interview and taking notes and that’s about it.

From what I read last year when I did my literature review, I didn’t read anywhere in an actual article that questions would be asked and survivors (of sex trafficking) would be able to opt out. There was only one article that I read that actually asked the survivors about their experience with receive postexit wraparound services. Where is the qualitative research, y’all?

I know an Institutional Review Board and Informed Consent puts it in place, but I feel like authors tend to skip over this.

Survivors of sex trafficking literally deal with the most horrific situations and I feel like with their autonomy being taken away, it’s important to assert this boundary on their behalf, even if they’re able to do it themselves.

I’m sorry I’m rambling and I’m sure (and hope) someone will provide me with constructive criticism, because I don’t know everything and my experience of working with survivors is so limited.

I’m gonna go stress myself out for another hour and go to bed. ✌️
