That’s the most jelly beans ever in one place at one time. Period.

The Mask You Live In might be a good way to introduce them to gender justice issues, since it focuses on things that they’d be able to personally relate to. And depressing as it is, it’s easier to convince men to support feminism when they can see how they benefit from it too.

All I know is what my brother and friends have said about their school. I don’t have any direct experience, so I can’t really speak to that further.

As a former teacher, I recommend teaching them empathy first and then applied to gender, race, religion, etc. Then look at bias and context. I used documentaries often and film. “American History X” is great for understanding why someone would turn to white supremacy and then back again. “White Man’s Burden” is…

teach my students about gender equality, respecting women, preventing sexual assault, understanding consent, etc.

Check out Teaching Tolerance through the Southern Poverty Law Center. Most of their resources are on social justice, but they may have gender equity resources.

Sarah Bunting’s seminal essay, “Yes, You Are” is short, sweet, and should be required reading. http://tomatonation.com/culture-and-criticism/yes-you-are/

The Affirmative Consent Standard is probably the best place to start. And this article on victim blaming could help you think about how to frame the conversations.

Richard Weissbourd, of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is running some projects which address these issues. You can google his project, Making Caring Common, and ask them about possible resources. I know they’d love to hear from you.

Those costumes are spot on.

You are excellent at alienating would-be allies. Congrats!

I appreciated this, but was extremely annoyed to see that CNN.com’s leading story about the women’s march is basically an essay about how hollow and meaningless it supposedly is: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/21/politics/womens-march-highlights/index.html

I love that CNN elected not to cover this live—they tweeted that they’d “monitor it” for anything significant and then cut over if it warranted. And since then they’ve been fact-checking everything Spicer said.
