@celinedelaneyy @bmff18 This is very true! Financial abuse also occurs just as frequently in unhealthy relationships as other forms of abuse. #gs1000w2081
The film “Finding Dawn” shows how colonialization in Canada has left a legacy of violence for Indigenous peoples. It is important to learn more about our country and our experiences as Canadians to support each other in moving toward a more secure future for all. #gs1000w2081
@jeanninec043 I agree! We should be focusing on how we can change the practices, the socialization of boys and the definition of manhood that lead to these current outcomes. #gs1000w2081
Young people’s pathways are formed early on, following traditional gender stereotypes. Careers rarely live up to childhood dreams and when we define ourselves by our jobs it seems as if our worth depends on what we achieve. #gs1000w208
@emmamacneil11@annav_edwards@BreeCourtney4 I agree! Students often aren’t aware of their own skills and experience, or what different jobs require. It is important to realize that traditional career advice don’t work for everyone. #gs1000w2081
@djclarke230 I agree! The earlier that dads get involved in actively taking care of their kids, the more involved they will be in the long run. I think it is great that fathers are playing a more conspicuous, hands-on role in their households. #gs1000w2081
Even today in our health care system women’s symptoms are still often dismissed and minimized. It’s discouraging how some doctors still seem to think that women wouldn’t know weather or not they were actually sick and needed medical attention. #gs1000w2081
@celinedelaneyy I agree! Our culture doesn’t always leave space for men to express inner struggle. As a society, it is very important to spread awareness and normalize the fact that men can have mental health problems too. #gs1000w2081
@JasmineOQuinn1 I agree, Russell’s Ted talk was very inspiring. I especially like how she states “Media representations of women are replete with racist and sexist representations, encouraging women to live up to a standard that is both oppressive and unattainable.” #gs1000w2081
@HilaryHennesse4 I agree!!! Honestly, the fact that some individuals believe that racist stereotyping is “normal” shows that the coronavirus isn’t creating xenophobia out of nowhere. It is clearly uncovering what has long been baked into Western culture. Very unfortunate. #gs1000w2081
@SooleyAmanda I agree, Lizzo’s success as a stereotype-shattering and full-figured woman in a society that upholds slender women as the standard of beauty has made her an inspiration to MANY individuals. Despite Lizzo’s body image, her talent and popularity are undeniable. #gs1000w2081
@atrimm3 Women are also being destroyed by advertising. We should recognize and be mindful of the messages and stereotypes we hear and see in the media and how those messages inform the way we feel about the way we look. #gs1000w2081
Women often feel like they should weigh less than the average woman because social media has reinforced the idea of how the “perfect” female body should look. Many of these ideals are impossible for many people to realistically and healthily achieve. #gs1000w2081
Natalie Nourigat’s cartoon highlights that we have reached a point where it is acknowledged that making remarks about people of other races, cultures, and heritages is unacceptable. But we haven’t yet reached the point where people actually refrain from making them. #gs1000w2081
@suzettehillier @atrimm3 I agree, PAL did handle this situation appropriately. Individuals should take a good look at their views and be mindful of how hurtful comments like that can be to another person. #gs1000w2081
@celinedelaneyy I have unfortunately also heard some of these comments on campus and have seen the xenophobia on Chinese individuals as misinformation and stereotypes run rampant. #gs1000w2081
@annav_edwards This is so sad. It’s unfortunate how many cases exist worldwide that are similar to this one. People with disabilities are not objects of charity, but have the same rights and dignities as we all do. gs1000w2081
Gaelynn’s Ted talk was beyond inspiring. I love how she knows who she is as a person and values it. She really shows how It is possible to be happy with your life, and to accept your disabilities and the challenges they bring. #gs1000w2081
