@leyoni3 Very interesting read! The paper definitely highlights to importance of reaching both females and males, and how educating them can change their opinion on violence #gndr1000

After watching the Ted Talk, I believe we should talk about how to end domestic violence instead of labeling it violence against women. 40% of domestic violence is against men, so it should be talking about as a non-gendered topic. #gndr1000

Watching the video regarding unpaid care work was definitely eye opening to the divide between men and women in the household, especially when it involves children. #gndr1000

@ssstrickland13 I always wondered the same. Many families receive welfare to insure their children get food and clothes, but the social perception is negative and ruined by a few people. #gndr1000

@ErinCar07997502 I did the exact same! I judged her solely on appearance when I first saw her and my opinion changed when she did! I'd take me and my appearance any day over having to act like someone I'm not! #gndr1000

Looking at the ad "Too Skinny" from 1957 definitely puts into perspective how far social media has changed the idea of appearance. You are more likely to see an ad for weight loss now as compared to ever seeing a weight gain ad. #gndr1000

@RafaelaMuriel2 Always good to hear and a great step forward #gndr1000

With Canada Day coming up, videos like "Why some Indigenous people are calling out Canada 150" are very important to consider. There are still many social issues related to race and gender in Canada that many individuals are still fighting for #gndr1000

"If you already live in the gap, just live big." I love this! The whole talk is so inspiring, and I loved her examples of beauty constrictions. Definitely a strong advocate for sexuality and (dis)ability! #gndr1000

[Kailey Parsons @KaileyParsons1]

@lynelle_mercer I feel the same! It was so inspirational and I loved watching her use humor during her talk. She definitely exudes confidence #gndr1000

[Kailey Parsons @KaileyParsons1]

@SarahMu02379400 Very true! Definitely nice to see a culture so understanding of different sexualities and being open to multiple choices for their youth! Also interesting to see how their culture defines sexuality different than others #gndr1000

Watching the "Two-Spirit" video was truly heartwarming, especially when the father stated that it is an honor to walk with an individual who is considered two-spirited, like Draco, and that an individual should be proud to identify as two-spirit #gndr1000

[Kailey Parsons @KaileyParsons1]

Watching the video Trans 101 is definitely a mind opener on the magnitude of terms regarding gender and identity. Thankfully in today's society individuals feel more comfortable expressing their true selves. #gndr1000

[Kailey Parsons @KaileyParsons1]

@jennny1205 I completely agree with you! Watching the video definitely opened my eyes to how much expression plays into assuming gender! #gndr1000

[Kailey Parsons @KaileyParsons1]

It seems to be difficult to have a conversation about feminism today. Too many people see it as a way for women to degrade men, when this isn't the case. Women are having to fight for basic equality rights and people are missing that #gndr1000

@liiv_MUN 1000% ! Every time a women expresses an "undesirable" emotion, men immediately place blame on your period, its infuriating! #gndr1000
