Lets Get Stoned: the Imact of President Biden’s Drug Policy reform

When you think of “feminist policy issues” the first things that come to mind may be issues like abortion rights, pay equality, equality in the workplace, and other woman-centered issues. However, on this blog we practice intersectional feminism and are concerned with legislation that advances equality for everyone. Earlier this week President Biden released a […]

w.o.M.E.N Silenced No more. Taking Back the Power

Shhhhh!!!… W.O.M.E.N, Women. What does the word mean? What value does it hold? When you look at yourself what do you see? In today’s society the definition of what it means to be a woman has changed in so many ways. Going back in history we were seen not as an individual but as an […]

The Climate Crisis: We’re Running out of time

For decades, we have been warned that one day our actions toward the environment will catch up with us. The earth is not disposable. As humans, we have become greedy. The people in power, aka those in charge of large corporations, have become so selfish and money hungry that they don’t see the damage they […]

To further explain the point I am trying to make; I want […]

Stop Asian Hate

Ok I try to keep it lighthearted in my blogs but today it might get heavy and since no one is talking about it enough, I will…Violence against Asian Amerians. This isn’t a new issue but it has gotten out of control recently since the pandemic and it needs to end now. I am not […]

Important Women in History

Happy Women’s History Month!! in honor of this magnificent month, I wanted to highlight some amazing women of color that have impacted the world for the better.

So Long, ShoutOut!

I think I had to close with the words of these feminist giants because at the end of the day that’s what our blog itself is built on. Thanks for the memories, ShoutOut! JMU.

What ShoutOut! means to me as a straight white guy

This semester is definitely one for the books. JMU’s first completely online semester. While some students had in person classes, the majority of us have been sitting in bed logging into zoom a couple of times a week.
