women's studies 1007

The Body Politic definitely gave me new perspective on our culture. So many of us have trouble with disordered eating, but we may not even realize it. It's so interwoven into the norm that we don't see it. #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0

This week's readings have really highlighted the divide between women and men in the culinary world. Men are the majority of head chefs, when women make up most of the rest of the jobs in the food service industry. #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0

I am so happy that this is what TIME chose to do. It's truly representative of what this year has been about for many women. #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0 https://t.co/9jjOcR8eHK

@saraa_meyeer I think that that is part of it, but also society shows women that they shouldn't want to nourish themselves. They're made to feel like they need to stay thin, but they still encourage those around them to eat. The Body Politic addressed this. #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0

@Shannon04273264 And the pesticides are probably a lot more harmful when they're being sprayed all around you! It's definitely a concern that I hadn't thought about. #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

I was especially struck by the fact used in one of the readings that said we could feed nine billion people by going back to sustainable methods of farming. I like the idea of everyone growing their own food. #WMST1007 #wm3nvir0

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

@saraa_meyeer Yeah that's true! Her story fits into our unit on sexual violence as well as criminalization and globalization. It's interesting to see how many things you hear about every day involve the things we learn about. #WMST1007 #wmgl0b3

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

I only saw all of this uproar on Twitter after we discussed net neutrality in class today. #WMST1007 #wmgl0b3 https://t.co/xxK2Is98bV

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

@Shannon04273264 Yes, and I thought it was the most interesting when the book mentioned that some of these children are being taken away by force, and their families still want them. #wmst1007 #wmgl0b3

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

@spetersen88 I agree, and it's important to keep in mind how crippling it can be for Third World countries. #wmgl0b3 #WMST1007

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

It is baffling to me that the World Trade Organization is an unelected body, yet it can rule that any country is violating its rules for trade. As the book shows, this has blocked many countries' moves towards progress. #WMST1007 #wmgl0b3

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

Reading about globalization put a lot of the world's problems into perspective. Injustice doesn't just happen, it is a result of corporate greed. #wmgl0b3 #wmst1007

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

@MarissaNicUNR That's so true! And it relates back to our readings from Tuesday where they described these issues as "root problems" #WMST1007 #wmcrim3

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

@Alexismcmillen2 I agree. The mistreatment of pregnant women in prison has serious consequences for the child. #wmcrim3 #WMST1007

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

Reading the stories of women affected by different factors in various countries illustrated the wide reach of the issue #wmcrim3 #WMST1007

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

Before reading the essay by Sudbury, I had no idea that the prison industrial complex had spread to other countries #wmst1007 #wmcrim3

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

Specifically to examining why women's incarceration rate rose so much in the 90s. Women didn't change, the laws did. #WMST1007 #wmcrim3

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

Wow, this relates so much to the readings from last night! #WMST1007 #wmcrim3 https://t.co/3hpO45WEza

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

Both cultural feminists and subversivists end up enforcing the binary by flipping it #n3ls0n #WMST1007

[Marjorie Williams @MarjorieWMST]

When cultural feminists placed women over men it was similar to saying non conforming genders are better than conforming #n3ls0n #WMST1007
