A concept I’ve taken away from the CJ book is how hard so many of these small countries are working to flip climate change. The largest and wealthiest countries seem to be doing the least to battle climate change... It really shows where our priorities lie. #intwmn

Fossil fuel workers are the victim. I read an article recently saying that it’s so hard for them since they have no other choice for their families. When it was brought up again i was really moved. #intwmn

@pjrobinsonst I think up to an extent ignorance is bliss. But at a certain point you have to know so you can start preparing and saving and helping. There is only a certain amount of time that you can live in this false bliss. #intwmn

We usually feel that we aren’t able to do anything to put a stop to climate change. Meat production makes up for 15% of global emissions. A vegetarian lifestyle can help reduce this tremendously by lessening the production of meat. It makes a larger impact than you think! #intwmn

“It has taken science a very long time to catch up to what our communities have been saying for decades.” - Patricia Cochran. You would think science would listen to those directly impacted by climate change, but this chapter of CJ shows the opposite. #intwmn

Seager states on page 181, “It takes just four days for a CEO from one of the top five global fashion brands to earn what a Bangladesh garment worker will earn in her lifetime.” Shouldn’t people with more money help the poor, especially their own employees? #intwmn

“This remark suggests that migrant women, dissatisfied with their lives and husbands in Siri Lanka, travel abroad in search of more gratifying economic and sexual situations.” Gross. These women do whatever necessary to take care of their families, not by choice. #INTWMN

“These poor single mothers are not simply using sex work in a tourist town with European clients as a survival strategy; they’re using it as an advancement strategy.” Women don’t enter sex work because they WANT to, they do it because they have too. #INTWMN

“In the European Union, 75% of women in management and professional positions and 61% of women in service jobs report some form of sexual harassment at work.” It’s rooted from the traditional male dominance and reinforces the subordinate positions to females. #INTWMN

An egalitarian home is ideal, but since women have to fight an “uphill battle” it seems unrealistic and unattainable. When will this not be the norm? #intwmn

“In almost half of two-parent households in the United States, both parents work full-time and in 40% of all families with children, the mother is the sole or primary breadwinner, Pew R,C.” Keeping this for the next time I hear a woman told to get in the kitchen. #INTWMN

Reading about Arab women and how our western world views has distorted their culture and our idea of feminism, has really opened my eyes to another section of feminism. #intwmn

I didn’t ever think outside of the Western-world perspective of feminism until I read the article, “Search for an Arab Feminism.” It gave me a whole different view on feminism that I wouldn’t have seen before. #intwmn

“In the USA, white women are most likely to get breast cancer, but black women are most likely to die from it.” This fact really makes me stomach turn. Why are black women’s health needs not taken as seriously as a white womans? #INTWMN

Giving Afghan women the ability to print and use their own names on their ID cards is a huge win. Acknowledging women as a part of the community, gives women the power of authority to dictate aspects of their lives with out the permission of a man. #WhereIsMyName #INTWMN

In the ted talk video, the officiant says “i now pronounce you spouses for life. You may kiss.” And it occurred to me that i have never thought about the gender neutral terms for weddings. Language is so gendered. #intwmn
