Ann Cudd's sections on "Threats and Being Threatened" and "Sexual Slavery and Prostitution" were very eye opening for me. When considering how bad sex trafficking is becoming both globally and nearby, Cudd is definitely worth reading. #WS4590

The Valerie Solanas' reading wasn't my favorite. I do understand her frustration as a woman, but I think she was a bit too thorough (or radical). I'm all for uplifting women, but not if we have to spend majority of the time bashing men. #WS4590

Catherine MacKinnon talks about the vital impact that #MeToo has made in comparison to the sexual harassment laws put in place by the government. It made me happy to read how those in power are not only taking sexual abuse seriously, but they are also acting against it. #WS4590

Here's a link that supports Simone's argument: https://t.co/NJJSUQnjzJ

Simone de Beauvoir tries to define the word "woman." She mentions that if femininity no longer exists today, then it never existed. When thinking about a woman's known dependance on a man, she argues that men are really dependent on women in regard to sexual satisfaction.

Sexual harassment and sexual assault should not still be prevalent today in the workplace, popular press, academic fora, or anywhere else! #WS4590

After reading Reva Siegel's reading, it's frightening to see that the two decade long conversation about how one defines sexual assault is continuing without any sign of diminishing. #WS4590

It was very frightening to read MacKinnon's argument on how “women tend to be economically valued according to men’s perceptions of their potential to be sexually harassed" simply because I'll be a woman trying to get a job in a field that is dominated by men (law).

In case you were wondering, this is the article I'm referring to. https://t.co/kQ4yMdlRzy

It is unfair that black women’s contributions are being belittled and the same ideas are praised when they are presented by white women, but I was happy to read that because of #MeToo , the number of those willing to come forward continues to grow as well as the support. #WS4590

Women are taught that they aren’t allowed to be angry, that it’s aggressive, ugly, always unwarranted; so we cry when when we’re mad, and we are mocked, diminished, dismissed. There is never a safe way for women to feel rage, yet even in silence we are blamed for saying nothing.

Audre Lorde mentioned how we all share a commitment to reclaiming the power of language which has been made to work against us. We are often silent because we feel as if we cannot relate, but in reality, simply being a helping hand (action) can make a huge difference. #WS4590

[Kia @Kia66114590]

Audre Lorde shares her near life or death experiences and how they served to put her life in perspective. She explains how a person needs to be able to talk through such traumatic experiences because if they don't it just festers until it comes out. #WS4590

[The Epoch Times @EpochTimes]

A new workplace study finds that following '#MeToo,' relationships between men and women have shifted considerably.

The conclusion: men are reluctant to interact with their female colleagues at work for fear of retribution.
