Under the U S Census, my family is considered a legal household! We are a group that lives and eats separately from other groups! #blendedfamily #census #familydynamics

Something i learned about agriculture in Mexico is that growing crops accounts for 50% of their agricultural output. #intwmn

Underdeveloped countries are effected the most by climate change, so they put in the most amount of work to fix it. But in reality, developed countries, such as the U.S., are the ones who should be putting in the most effort to reverse these effects #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

Today in class we were talking about women in government who don’t support other women and all i could think about was Amy Corndog Ferret🤮🤢 #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

Based off our current state in our country, i wish women had more rights and more say. Seager showing that only white women had rights just exemplifies how poorly women are thought of. #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

Wow... wish governments would prioritize the people in their country rather than the money for corporations, 😕
When do the people matter after disasters and not just the numbers or money? #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

People who don’t believe in climate change are really just ignorant. Climate change has been detected early and we have the power to work on it, but if people don’t believe, where will that get us🤷🏼‍♀️ #intwmn

The fact that CEO’s (mostly men) can make the same amount of money in just a couple days as a woman who works her entire life in a third world country, is disgusting. #intwmn

“Many men feel a loss of self-respect and dignity when their wives become breadwinners” from Breadwinner No More

WHY DO MEN REINFORCE THIS MINDSET? #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

In our society today, it is so common for men to not show emotion and not be close with their mother, but imagine being labeled a bad mother if you supported your son outside of your house... #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

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

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

My classmate Caroline already touched on this, but having young girls working FOURTY THREE hours a week is insane! In the summer without school, i was working 29 hours a week and it was hard to not be exhausted. #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

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

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

Why are male relatives more important? Just because what’s in our pants is different, a woman is seen as lesser? Why don’t i deserve my OWN name on my grave?
I feel angry and distraught by the reading today. #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

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

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

Reading about Mumtaz’s acid attack made me remember why i think men are kinda crazy... he said “now let’s see who will marry you” after disfiguring her.
This is horrific. #intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

Why is it okay that men get a say in our reproductive rights and health, but as soon as we want something, such as uncircumcised, it’s terrible and not our business? Seems like a double standard 🤢🤔#intwmn

[sutton saunders @sutton_saunders]

My best friends mom works for Olay and designs some of their creams and serums. Listening to her and reading about how women often put chemicals on their face from Seager makes me scared to out and purchase just any new makeup like i have before #intwmn
