2.10.17- Social Media/Immigration Ban

I've been taking some time away from social media for a few days- hence the hiatus of posting. I noticed that my mood is directly affected by social media: it was my main form of the news, as well as the emotions/opinions attached to it. I realized that my opinions were coming from unbiased news sources, not to mention that the people posting the news (my friends on Facebook), were tagging it with their own biases. That's not to say that is a bad thing, necessarily, but I wanted to be able to form my own opinion about these changes that our happening in our everyday lives. Plymouth State University offers an American Government course that I've been taking. Our misogyny, racism, xenophobia, etc, has been a part of American history for so many centuries. Taking a course in the history of Government is inherently important, and it's definitely helped me understand our history, as well as what's happening today. Which brings me to my next point.

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...

Recap & Thanks

I haven't posted in a while because this semester has been wild. As a quick recap: - I went to the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference over my spring break in Washington, D.C. It was an incredible experience, albeit a little overwhelming. I met incredibly passionate and wonderful feminists, and, although I wish there was more focus on fighting against sexual assault, I learned so much and met many wonderful professional feminists. I learned that there is such a thing as being a Professional Activist / Feminist, and I have thus made business cards and a LinkedIn, having finally found my right path. The President of NOW, Terry O'Neill - I spoke on a panel with congresswoman Kuster from New Hampshire about her new bipartisan task force to ending sexual violence on college campuses. What an incredible honor. - I was honored a fellowship via Campus Compact, so now I am a Campus Compact Newman Fellow for the school year of 2017-2018. - My org...
