You can wear a clear plastic visor all you want but it does ✨nothing✨ to cover your mouth and nose #wearadamnmask

[Lili Reinhart @lilireinhart]

If you aren’t covering your nose with your mask, it defeats the entire purpose of wearing a mask. 👌🏻

@anees_mallick I agree. In any abuse case, it's in no way the victim's fault. Society needs to stop accepting the excuses of abusers and hold them accountable for their actions. #GNDR1000S2020

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

We need to challenge victim blaming statements and hold abusers accountable for what they have done. It is crucial that we shift our thinking as a society when it comes to victim blaming. (2/2) #GNDR1000S2020

After watching Jackson Katz's TedTalk, it reminded me about victim blaming. I have often heard the phrase "Why didn't she leave him?" This makes me wonder why society questions the victim before the abuser? (1/2) #GNDR1000S2020

@KaitlynGrandy I totally agree. I wish more people valued unpaid work as much as they value paid work, especially when it concerns family support. Whether you're working towards a paycheque or taking care of children at home, both are valid and work to support family.

Domestic work is gendered and the responsibility often falls on the shoulders of women.

We need to recognize as a society that the work of stay-at-home parents such as child care and household chores are equally as important as paid labour. (2/2) #GNDR1000S2020

Unpaid work: women and the burden of unpaid labour https://t.co/I7u2BkIG9y

After watching Winnie Byanyima on Women’s Unpaid Care Work, it became clear that unpaid care work is viewed as low-value compared to paid work. Why is the work of stay-at-home-moms often seen as 'less than' the work of their paid working partner? (1/2) #GNDR1000S2020

@MegPollard2 That's so awful that they told her to go home. It's hard to believe that so many women have experiences like this in health care. Thank goodness your friend fought for the care she needed ❤️ #GNDR1000S2020

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

As a woman who's spent plenty of time in hospitals myself, I can consider myself lucky not to have had experiences like this one. But even saying that I'm lucky proves that this is a serious problem for the health care of women that needs to be addressed. (2/2) #GNDR1000S2020

After reading the article "How Doctors Take Women's Pain Less Seriously," I was shocked that women can experience these waiting delays in emergencies simply because they are overlooked for being 'melodramatic'. (1/2) #GNDR1000S2020

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

@KaitlynGrandy Perfection is an illusion. We've been programmed into believing that we won't be happy or loved until our bodies look a certain way. It's time we unlearn these things and focus on how we feel. When you embrace who you are, you give others permission to do the same. #GNDR1000S2020

An ad inclusive of all types of women & celebrates the bodies of women over 50 🙌 I wish more people knew that real is rare- and real is beautiful. #GNDR1000S2020

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

After being reminded of the ways women have been depicted in the media over the years, companies like @Aerie and @knixwear are refreshing in that they represent women of all sizes, shapes, & skin colours. I love that they show what real bodies look like ❤️ #GNDR1000S2020

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

@Amy_Young2000 I was also blind to the fact that the storyline surrounds colonialism and violence of indigenous people. It's strange how looking back to childhood memories- I realize that I was blind to many offensive things. I'm glad I'm now able to recognize these things today.#GNDR1000S2020

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

The "I'm not racist, but.." comic strip is effective in showing that any sentence that starts with that can't be good. Some people use the excuse that they're 'just joking', but even if they are joking, it's not okay- it's offensive. Casual racism is still racism.#GNDR1000S2020

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

@Amy_Young2000 Her talk also reminded me to live free from societal standards. I think it takes a great deal of courage to love and be yourself. It's something a lot of people struggle with. But we need to recognize that everybody is different and beautiful in their own way.

[Grace Callahan @GraceCallahan99]

The Ted talk by Gaelynn Lea was very inspiring. She had some great insights into societal standards and how being 'invisible' to those standards through her (dis)ability gave her freedom. I wish everyone lived authentically as themselves and knew that real is rare #GNDR1000S2020

After watching the historical documentary "How We Got Gay" I was shocked to learn how much protesting it took to get the government to research drugs for AIDS. It opened my eyes to the powerful gay rights movement in Canada and there is still work left to do. #GNDR1000S2020
