#WMST1007 I found it interesting to see in the readings that when it comes to who the chef is it is usually a man and then the other "not as important" jobs are women's #wm3nvir0

@emmapalmerwmst #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0 I agree definitely knowing where someone comes from makes a difference !

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

#WMST1007 #wm3nvir0 on the topic of belonging sense of belonging is one of the many characteristics that defines a happy person, when you feel like you don't belong anywhere it can be hard to find happiness and relate to others

We're Working Nurses to Death https://t.co/H0QkO2Lj7n via @dailytonic this reminded me of the video we watched that included Japan working people to death. Here is an example of this problem through out the US. #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0

@Shannon04273264 #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0 I agree I never thought about that either until reading it. It gave me a broader perspective on pesticides that I didn't have before

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@TSidher I agree with Jason I think it does promote rape culture through taking away the seriousness and reality of these events. It takes away the victims voice and story while promoting that idea that what happened isn't thaaat bad #WMST1007 #wm3nviro

#wmgl0b3 #wmst1007 going off discussion in class about women's struggles here and in other countries, I think if we look at it as we all have problems and we all have to work for greater equality that would be better than just looking at whose problems are worse

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

#wmst1007 I think adoptions is a great thing but it is important to incorporate the child's culture so they can grow up with a sense of self and knowledge of where they come from. #wmgl0b3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

#wmst1007 the discussion about net neutrality was something I have never even heard of before yet something really interesting to look into #wmgl0b3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@taylorpunredu I honestly didn't know either! #wmst1007 #wmgl0b3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@spetersen88 Definitely an interesting thing to think about because like Shannon said how will this ever get paid and when ? It's crazy to look at how much countries actually owe each other. #wmst1007 #wmgl0b3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@Shannon04273264 I completely agree. In circumstances like these I feel like the adopted child might struggle with a sense of self and little understand of where they come from. Your right while adoption is a good thing and can have some bad outcomes in a way #wmst1007 #wmgl0b3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@MarissaNicUNR I agree! We don't know anyone's lives or why they make the decisions they make or the factors that lead to those decisions. It is too cut and dry to say that. #WMST1007 #wmcrim3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

#WMST1007 prisons definitely need better healthcare all around, but especially for those who are pregnant an unborn child shouldnt have to face the consequences of a crime their mom committed. It's not right. #wmcrim3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

#WMST1007 I think it's important to remember intersectionality when were talking about any topic in this class, it's important to understand everything is connected in many ways especially with imprisonment of men or women. #wmcrim3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@t_richards8 @SchulthessJason @CarterPrice1234 I think at times it doesn't have to relate to anything but in certain ways it is all connected to race/gender/ upbringing etc not just for women though for men as well so it does need to be dissected. #WMST1007 #wmcrim3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@saraa_meyeer @SchulthessJason I agree its sad to see how many opportunities are missed out and lives ruined due to criminal records. More rehabilitation opportunities would be beneficial. #WMST1007 #wmcrim3

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@saraa_meyeer #wmst1007 #wmcrim3 omg this!!! Definitely something almost every woman can relate too

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

#WMST1007 #n3ls0n Nelson's writing is definitely one of the realist non sugar coated writing I've read in awhile

[Alexis McMillen @Alexismcmillen2]

@mcentee_megan I saw them ! And thought the same exact thing #WMST1007 #n3lsOn
