Half The Sky at FIT

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers around the world

Our end of semester media campaign: what does feminism mean to you? A huge thank you to our new social media manager Michelle Lee for editing this video <3

Today is the last meeting of the semester :( See you in room A644, 1-2pm for a mini farewell party and some last few feminist rants

"Not because it's my responsibility, but because it's my reality" wow too real!

The hypersexualization of young girls has been rampant in our society for ages: from getting cat-called before I got my first period to seeing all these sexy ads trying to market to young girls (American Apparel and Ambercrombie & Fitch anyone?). It's infuriating and saddening to think that young girls can't enjoy their childhood because society is just trying to "adultify" them through sexualization. You should all to watch the documentary "Miss Representation" (on Netflix) that talks about sexism in American media and how the media sells us this idea that a women's value lies in their youth, beauty and sexuality, which is definitely NOT true that's the same mentality that perpetuates rape culture

Be sure not to miss out on this week's meeting! Come an hour early (room A644) for a mini photoshoot for our social media campaign. During the meeting we'll be holding e-board elections for the upcoming academic year, if you'd like to run email [email protected] with the position you're running for and why.
