"I'm thankful. But it also feels good to prove people wrong." At 22 years old, @LilNasX is already a pro at breaking barriers — one song (and several clapbacks) at a time. https://t.co/nQn2X15CY9 Story by Ira Madison III

@shimpossible1 I agree! We need more important things being talked about on social media!!

[LeahRivCMN432 @RivLeah]

@grace_cmn432 I totally agree!! I have been trying to heavily reduce the time I spend on social media, especially instagram and tiktok! #CMN432

One of my favorite stores, @Aerie, has done an awesome job showing body diversity in their advertisements! Now it's time for more stores to follow in their footsteps👏

[LeahRivCMN432 @RivLeah]

@JessicaScalise5 I definitely think we should be challenging brands inclusivity and making changes happen!

[Jessica Scalise @JessicaScalise5]

I remember this protest and it still baffles me that people think like this. They don't understand the lack of accessibility to sizes for different body types. Victoria's Secret has taught us to look a certain way to be desirable, and we should challenge that. #cmn432

[LeahRivCMN432 @RivLeah]

@JessicaScalise5 There wouldn't have to be stores that only cater to plus sized, if all brands were inclusive!!! #CMN432

[LeahRivCMN432 @RivLeah]

@JessicaScalise5 As women especially we should all be sticking together and uplifting and empowering each other. It's just sad to see another women not backing up something that should be addressed and talked about....

The media is very powerful, no one is left out when it comes to media affecting us. Whether it is conscious or unconscious, we are all affected by the media we consume. #CMN432

[LeahRivCMN432 @RivLeah]

I think the media gives a ton of mixed messages about gender especially to those who identify as women. We are told to be innocent and reserved, but not prude. We are also bashed if we own our bodies and sexuality, but when men want us to show our bodies, we should. #CMN432

@BillygHuff @mikayla3117 you should read this, since you go to Grainger a lot!

[LeahRivCMN432 @RivLeah]

@EricCMN432 I agree, this is very important! I can't believe so many people are being "snowflakes" over this situation, it's pretty funny to me! #CMN432

Admirable decision from Hasbro to separate one of its most famous products from the binary gender identities it's used for marketing since 1952. It's important for kids to learn from toys that move beyond our traditional gender norms. #CMN432

The education system is a huge part of the development of our youth, therefore, all teachers should be educated on more than just identifying their students as two genders. So students can truly feel themselves. #CMN432

The "Miss Representation" film discussing gender in media featured an interview by Jean Kilbourne, a public speaker and activist known for her work on the portrayal of women in advertising. I watched this Ted Talk of hers for CMN 368: https://t.co/DROEHvSt9m

Not only are certain genders associated with some occupations but it is prevalent in the wage gap as well.

@CmnGender I worked as a cashier before and I know EXACTLY what you mean!! My boss would always tell me to smile more or talk with the customers more....what do you want me to do ask them for their whole life story or social security number...I thought I was doing just fine lmao #CMN432

#cmn432 this meme immediately popped into my head when doing my flipgrid post 😂💀

Great resource explaining the array of issues trans individuals face! This was really eye-opening for me and made me realize that our current society doesn't give trans people the support they deserve. #cmn432
