When we pay close attention to the intention (performative diversity & inclusion) behind casting minorities in shows and movies, we realize we still have a long way to go before we can consider this as something progressive. #CMN432

You can’t choose the color of your skin, nor can you choose the odds that will inherently play against you because of it.
Choosing to be a mother and yet still advocating for suppression of a woman’s freedom to govern her own body is not worth praising in my opinion #CMN432

In week 11’s This Week in Social Movement History, there’s a quote that really stood out to me. An accomplice “recognizes their privilege to be able to walk away from injustice- it’s a privilege to have a choice.” #CMN250

@laurenillinois This quote really stood out to me also! Looking at this through an intersectional lense, it’s frustrating how many different struggles it can be applied to! #CMN432

people mentioned in their discussions that certain jobs are “fit for women” and others are considered “fit for men”. i hope that we continue questioning these labels&boxes we’re put into and do not get discouraged from certain careers just bc we might not fit the mold. #CMN432

those who think domestic work is not real work because it is not paid, have definitely not grown up seeing how much it takes to raise a child and take care of everything around the house. it’s hard work and shouldn’t be looked as less valuable the way it is within society #CMN432

I completely agree with you! Yet we can still see that the word holds different meanings depending on who’s saying it & the way they’re saying it. #CMN432

Here’s a good example on why complete resignification is almost impossible & why it is important to make clear who can/ who can’t say a word/ reclaim it. #CMN432

I’ve always been very aware that men are valued and seen as “more than” woman by society. However, the idea of “reference man” really shocked me because I never realized HOW much these ideas are engrained into society & how many things I wasn’t paying enough attention to

@LouieRo92071630 exactly! i think it’s ridiculous to assign specific traits to certain genders as if we don’t all have a mix of them in our personalities. it really is so dumb when you think about how so many people still try to enforce these ideas! #CMN432

#CMN432 A trend that was popular on Youtube a couple months ago was women pranking their partner by “acting like a man”. The first thing they do is lower their voice, swear every second, and give short responses with no emotion.

[Fall 2020 CMN 432 @cmn432student]

It is incredibly closed minded to assume that this is what it takes to “be/ communicate like a man”. Most importantly, why is this even a trend???

@LoveisBlindShow season 2 needs to include queer couples !! Heteronormativity continuously being televised on these dating shows is so lame and non-inclusive. Having different kinds of sexualities displayed on screen should’ve been the standard ages ago.

a males job is to work and provide. Placing these expectations on kids at such a young age can be harmful. It may not always be done with bad intentions but nonetheless, it’s a problem. Whether it is done subconsciously or not, it’s something we have to call out & put and end to.

#CMN432 The expectations for people with female bodies in the 1950s are still very much relevant today. Some of the advice given to housewives was to “plan ahead to have a delicious meal on time...take 15 minutes to rest so that you are refreshed when he arrives, touch up your

norms and gender roles onto them. Toy kitchens, dolls, fake makeup are extremely commonly given to girls; fake tools, cars and sports-related toys are often given to boys. This enforces the idea that women belong in the home to cook, clean, look pretty, and serve the male, while
