Reproductive Health: Women Edition

Please bear with me during this post. While it is long, it's very important to me, and reading it would raise awareness. It was hard for me to type this all out, but I do hope that it helps somebody for me to tell my story.  This past week, I experienced the first ounce of being uninsured by healthcare. I'd like to start this blog post with stating that I'm so lucky to have healthcare, and to not have to worry about it very much in the past. My parents are so lucky to have jobs that insure healthcare, and I couldn't imagine not being able to be insured, for whatever reason. This past week I took a trip to the gynecology office. I've only gone once before, just to discuss birth control methods that were best for me, and that trip was over two years ago. The trip consisted of discussing methods with my doctor, learning what they all do to your body, thanking her, and leaving. This next trip was a bit more complicated. Let me explain. Ever since I started dating m...

1.20.17: Inauguration Day

Today is Inauguration Day, and 8 hours ago (12pm), Donald J. Trump became our President of the United States. I feel a sense of defeat tonight. Maybe it's because our president is as easily swayed of his beliefs as an insecure pre-teenager trying to make friends (yes, I'm talking about me), or maybe it's because he can't even hold a strong conversation with anyone older than third grade , but I'm feeling conflicted about our 45th president. I feel heartbroken that the people of our country voted for somebody so bigoted, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist, and immature as Donald Trump. Tomorrow, hundreds of marches will be happening during the day, all sistering with the Women's March On Washington, or #WMW, that is to "send a bold message to our new government on their first day of office, and to the world, that women's rights are human rights." I will be attending one near me with my close friend and family member in Montpelier at 1pm . As ...

Title IX: Next Steps as a Nation of Activists

As many of you might be aware, Betsy Devos rolled back portions of Title IX that were put into place under the Obama administration. If you have not read up on it, please do so here before finishing this post. In summary, DeVos would like even more evidence from survivors that they were sexually assaulted and thus, they should punish the perpetrator. You may think that is not problematic, but let me tell you why it is. Yes, it definitely cuts down on wrongful prosecution of those being accused. The issue is, though, that wrongful prosecution barely happens. Only 2-8% of sexual assault cases are proved to be inaccurate. That leaves 92-98% of sexual assault cases to be proven to be correct. Why that means we should make the reporting process harder, I cannot say. This is also problematic because it not only disrespects everything that the Obama Administration did prior, but it shows that Betsy DeVos is more concerned with protecting rapists than she is survivors. It shows tha...
