The article discusses issues with catcalling on college campuses. It argues that catcalling is degrading and makes women feel embarrassed. While some say catcalling is a compliment, the author believes catcallers do it to boast their masculinity to other men rather than to compliment women. The author recounts frequent experiences of being catcalled while walking around her campus, including being yelled at from windows of residential buildings. She feels catcalls are not meant to compliment her but are done for the benefit of the catcallers. Psychology research supports that catcalling stems from men asserting their masculinity to themselves or other men. The author concludes that her appearance is not for men to ogle or comment on publicly.
Real Facts and True Stories about Hookup Culturelisawadephd
The media both celebrates and condemns “hook up culture,” a mythical environment in which college students have an endless string of casual sexual partners. In fact, students are having a lot less sex than these stories suggest. More, they report that the sex they are having is disappointing, to say the least. In this talk, I show that the problem on college campuses isn’t too much sex, it’s bad sex: unpleasurable, unwanted, uncaring, and competitive. The solution? Not to abandon the casual hook up (it has some interesting advantages), but to multiply the sexual discourses on campus in ways that give students the cognitive freedom and cultural support to make the sexual choices that are best for each of them.

Cyberbullying & Girls' Online Social Performancesashleyquark
The document discusses cyberbullying experiences of 14 adolescent girls aged 13 to 18 through semi-structured interviews. It finds that the effects of cyberbullying, such as feelings of sadness and low self-esteem, are similar to traditional bullying. Girls respond to cyberbullying through retaliation, withdrawal, or moving on. Their experiences online parallel power dynamics faced offline regarding their gender and social roles. The author argues bullying and cyberbullying should not be viewed separately given that similar processes underlie both. Prevention and intervention must address systemic marginalization.
The document discusses the author's experience at an inauguration seminar hosted by The Washington Center, and how it changed her previously apolitical perspective. Through listening to various speakers from different backgrounds, the author realized being an active citizen is important and comes in many forms. She struggled to see how she could get involved as a communications major, but learned she can use her passion for helping people through issues like race relations, media, and policy changes. While change will not come easily, she is now more informed, engaged, and willing to get involved in small ways like talking to others to help democracy work better.
The document discusses relationships and their effect on teens. It explores why the authors wanted to research relationships and how relationships are defined. Research shows that romantic relationships in adolescence can impact self-esteem and values. The majority of teens report having a boyfriend/girlfriend, and many spend significant time with their romantic partner. The document also presents the results of a survey on teen relationships and compares the findings to details in the book "Twisted."
Reaching LGBTQ youth where they are: On their phonesYTH
The document discusses developing digital resources to support the health and well-being of LGBTQ youth. It summarizes focus groups and interviews with 92 LGBTQ youth ages 15-19. Key themes included social and emotional health concerns predominating over physical health issues. Youth felt isolated and wanted more support from both peers and parents. Coming out was a significant source of anxiety. Sex education resources did not address LGBTQ experiences. Youth relied on Google, YouTube, and social media for information and community. A digital resource is needed to reduce isolation and address emotional, social, and physical health concerns. Next steps proposed convening advisors and LGBTQ youth to develop and test initial digital tools.

Students acknowledged peer pressure and lack of speaking out allowed the incidents but felt they did not reflect the character of all Saint Mary's students.
Daily Telegraph - 13 November 2006 article on asexualityLea Uva
David Jay is part of a growing number of people who openly identify as asexual, experiencing no sexual attraction to others. As the head of Aven, an organization for asexuals, David seeks to educate others and promote acceptance of asexuality as a sexual orientation. While some asexuals masturbate or experience arousal, many feel no sexual desires and have never had sex. Asexuality exists on a spectrum, and some asexuals seek romantic partnerships without sexual intimacy. Organizations like Aven aim to help asexuals find acceptance and combat myths that there must be something psychologically wrong with them.

Turning-it-around: Listening to what young women say helps them to move on fr...BASPCAN
This document summarizes research into listening to young women who have experienced sexual exploitation to understand how to help them. The research involved workshops and interviews with 19 young women who received support from two specialist organizations.

The research aims to help professionals better understand the experiences and needs of sexually exploited young women.
Cyberbullying involves tormenting, threatening, harassing, humiliating or embarrassing someone using the internet, mobile phones or other digital technologies. Ryan Halligan, age 13, committed suicide after being cyberbullied by classmates who spread rumors he was gay and sent him insulting messages. His suicide was attributed to depression exacerbated by cyberbullying. After Ryan's death, the main bully continued to mock how Ryan killed himself, deepening the father's grief and anger towards the bully.
The document argues that requiring voters to show photo identification does not suppress voting rights and helps protect election integrity. It claims voter fraud is a real issue and that many daily activities like driving or getting welfare also require ID. Critics who say voter ID laws target minorities misunderstand that voting is a privilege, not a right. The document also responds to arguments that gender-neutral housing should be provided at universities to accommodate transgender and non-binary students.
This document contains a collection of social media posts and conversations on various topics ranging from music, politics, relationships, and personal finances.

Kaitlin participated in a privilege walk activity where students were asked questions about their upbringing and race. She found that some questions had more to do with parenting and income rather than race alone. However, she recognized that white people do experience unearned privileges like not being denied jobs or judged solely due to their race. Kaitlin hopes to use this awareness to promote fairness if she is ever in a position to hire people.
This document summarizes a research study on domestic violence among female students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The authors conducted a survey at their high school and found that while some cliques exist, social status is not a major problem. However, students' styles are judged. The book "Twisted" depicts how the characters' social statuses impact their high school experiences.

Lindenwood University is allowing students to stay on campus for free during spring break, benefiting international and out-of-state students who cannot return home. While local students typically leave campus for breaks, many students have no home to return to. The free housing and meals during breaks addresses a financial burden for these students. The document discusses perspectives on this policy change from students and its benefits to Lindenwood's goal of an international student body.
The document discusses Lindenwood University's plan to recruit more international students but raises concerns about how it may negatively impact classroom experiences. While a diverse classroom can foster interesting discussions, the author expresses that some international students lack sufficient English skills to fully participate. This is problematic given Lindenwood's low minimum score requirement of 61 for the TOEFL English proficiency test, which is half the possible points and would be considered failing. For the benefits of international enrollment to be realized, the university needs to increase its language standards so all students can effectively communicate and debate in English.
The document discusses a proposal for a shuttle bus system at Lindenwood University. The author argues that a shuttle is needed to transport students between different campus facilities, especially for international students who pay a lot for their education. The author addresses counterarguments such as the shuttle being a waste of money or making students lazy, but counters that it would help students get to classes on time and access different campus resources. In conclusion, the author fully supports Lindenwood starting a shuttle system to help students access off-campus facilities and so commuters don't have to worry about parking.
The document discusses the author's experience with social media over time. It describes starting on MySpace in 2005 and joining Facebook in 2008, spending many hours scrolling through their newsfeed. However, the author began having issues when sharing political views on Facebook, as comment sections would devolve into name-calling and arguments. They eventually left Facebook a few months ago due to these confrontations and the overall negative impact of many users. The author believes Facebook can still be useful for connecting with others but that the majority of users dampen their opinion of its usefulness.
The document discusses differing views around holiday greetings and how to appropriately wish others well during the holidays. It notes that many social media posts advocate different approaches, such as saying "Merry Christmas" versus "Happy Holidays." The author also contemplates how some may find certain greetings offensive depending on their religious beliefs or preferences. Ultimately, the author concludes that most holiday greetings are intended to spread good cheer and should not cause offense, regardless of the specific greeting used.
The document discusses Dark Carnival, an annual fall event at Lindenwood University that has become a staple tradition. It describes some of the attractions of Dark Carnival, which transforms Cobbs Hall into a haunted house. It notes that Dark Carnival brings more student participation and togetherness than other campus events and clubs. The author looks forward to attending the fun and unique event again.
The document discusses mass shootings in the U.S. and argues that they are mainly committed by white men due to societal issues related to gender and race. It notes that most shooters are white men, often motivated by rejection from women or perceived inferiority to other races. However, media often portray white shooters sympathetically while demonizing non-white suspects. The document calls for addressing the root causes of why white men feel entitled to commit such crimes rather than just focusing on gun control and mental health.
The document discusses renovations being done on the St. Louis Arch. It states that the renovations have been ongoing for over a year and should be completed within the next year. The goal is to make the Arch and surrounding area more attractive. The project has cost $380 million, with 58% coming from private donations. The author believes the renovations will improve the area for both visitors and residents and help make St. Louis a better city.

Catcallers are dirty dogs
Catcalling is not a new phenom-
enon and especially not on college
campuses. More often than not, it is
women that are the ones subjected
to it while men – or boys rather –
are the ones catcalling. It has got to
stop. It is degrading and insulting,
and, frankly, a violation of personal
space.
From what I understand, the
general consensus is that “catcalling
isn’t bad because it is a compliment,”
and that worries me immensely.
I have never met a self-respect-
ing woman who enjoys being cat-
called, which means that either
there is a severe disconnect in some
guys’ brains telling them that this
is the way to go with the ladies, or
catcallers simply do it for their own
amusement. I am convinced that it’s
the latter.
I have lived on this campus for
three years now, and I have never
experienced more catcalling in my
life – not just to me, but to friends
and random women I see walking
around. Personally, I have uncon-
sciously developed a mental map
over where on campus I can expect
to be yelled at – and that’s what it
is: yelling. The words might be com-
plimentary or simply just a whistle,
but it’s still yelling.
I live in women’s housing, and
I have come to dread the walk be-
tween there and Evans, because of
the residents in Reynolds and Pfre-
mmer.
Way too many times I have been
walking home from the gym or
from class and had guys yell out at
me from a random window. I al-
ways ignore it, but often that is tak-
en as an invitation for more yelling.
I am tired of it. I’m tired of hav-
ing random semi-complimentary
words yelled at me from anonymous
windows and cars speeding by, be-
cause those words aren’t meant to
make me feel better – they’re for the
catcallers’ own benefit.
Psychology has found that cat-
calling usually stems from guys
having to boast their masculini-
ty, either to themselves or to other
guys in their group, which just fur-
thers my point that there is nothing
complimentary about a catcall. The
initial reaction women feel when
being honked or whistled at is em-
barrassment and shame; it makes us
feel self-conscious.
When someone yells a nasty
question to women, or tells them to
smile, it insinuates that the catcaller
has a right to ask women for that –
as if they hold some sort of control
over women.
My appearence is not meant as
an object for guys to ogle at, and it’s
disrespectful for anyone to loudly
and publicly comment on it.
I feel like an angry feminist while
writing this, though I have never
categorized myself as one. Frankly,
I just don’t care for strangers yelling
about my butt in any sort of way.

No excuse not to vote
Every election year, I hear many
people say, when asked about the
politicians running, “all of the can-
didates this election are awful.” It
seems like no matter who is running
the race to be the next president of
the United States, they are all awful.
So is the problem that we have no
good politicians? Will there ever be
an election with all “good” options?
I’m here to tell you that no, we will
never have perfect politicians, and
I’m sure we will never have an elec-
tion where everyone thinks those
who are running are all good op-
tions. No politician is perfect, be-
cause, hey, we are all human here.
Whether you find yourself to be on
the liberal side or the conservative
side, we all need a president to over-
see congress and the United States.
Regarding my comments on the
views about politicians, I don’t think
this is a good excuse not to vote. As
much as we may not like politicians,
we do need them. That is part of
living in the United States. We elect
representatives to be the voice for
our state or county, in the hopes that
they will help to pass bills that work
toward the goals that we want.
Not voting because we don’t like
any of them is like a newly gradu-
ated high school student saying,
“Well, I don’t like any of these col-
leges, so I’m not going to go.” We all
have to make sacrifices in our daily
lives, and part of that is picking the
politicians you think fits your stan-
dards the best.
I am fairly involved in political
discussions, so I try to encourage
people to look at the bigger picture.
Don’t focus on the silly scandals op-
posing parties try to make bigger
than they really are, and ask whether
their views best represent what you
want for the future of our country.
Another problematic view I see,
especially after the primaries, is that
if an individual’s choice does not get
the nomination, they decide not to
vote at all. I can see someone’s rea-
soning behind this because in per-
spective to the impact of the country
as a whole and the Electoral College,
one vote has a small impact on who
becomes president.
If you know anything about the
way the Electoral College works and
how our votes matter, you’ll know
that when we vote for who becomes
president, we are voting for our state
not for the whole country.
It’s pretty complicated, so I won’t
go too much into it, but even if it
seems that you’re vote doesn’t matter
statistically, what else can you do?
Even if it doesn’t statistically matter,
you really should vote. I mean, what
else do we have left to influence the
future of our country?
We can talk about politics on
Facebook as much as we want, but
that isn’t going to do anything. At
least get out there and vote for the
least awful candidate on the ballot.
We can’t change who is on the bal-
lot this election, so do the American
thing, and vote.
At least we get to vote in the first
place, even if the individual’s vote
doesn’t have the biggest statistical
impact. Try to appreciate what we
have left as a democracy, and con-
tribute to the race.

In my time at Lindenwood I have
seen the school come a long way. I
started at Lindenwood as a freshman
in fall of 2013, and was a little ner-
vous. I was an openly gay guy com-
ing from Northeast Ohio and I had
concerns about coming to a school
in the Bible belt—even if it was just
on the edge of it. I couldn’t even find
a Gay/Straight Alliance (GSA) listed
on the school’s website.
I had done some research and
learned that in lieu of a GSA, the
school had a club named Spectrum
Alliance. It was for people of gender
and sexual minorities and people
with disabilities—two groups that
clearly have boatloads in common.
It seemed that the club had been
named as such to avoid having the
word “gay” associated with Linden-
wood in any way.
I also knew that shortly before my
arrival on campus, the university had
dropped its religious ties, but I knew
there would still be an influence. The
visitation in the dorms—that are
separated by gender by building—
was clearly a policy made with that
religious affiliation in mind.
I
was
also
struck
that stu-
dents,
including
those who
were old
enough, were not
allowed to drink or
even possess alcohol
on campus. To say the
least, I was nervous.
In the fall of this year I
will be starting my last year
at Lindenwood. In my time
here the visitation has started
to shift in a modern direction,
with changes taking place next
semester.
The school has provided safety
zone training to provide a safer, more
open environment for students.
Not only has Spectrum become
the Gay/Straight Alliance, but it has
more than tripled in membership. I
have
tak-
en part
in Drag
shows and
a reading
of my com-
ing out sto-
ry through the
GSA.
The Gender Stud-
ies Club has provided
platforms for students
to express their experi-
ences, both positive and
negative, in religion, gender,
and sexuality. I have even at-
tended a sex education panel
through the same group.
When I came to Lindenwood
I was worried that one of the old-
est schools west of the Mississippi
might still be stuck in the 1800s. Our
policies have not entirely caught up
to 2016, but it is clear that the school
is progressing in the right direction.
I have one more year in this institu-
tion and I am excited to see where
we go from here.
LGBTQ students more accepted

Safe Zones designate an area as safe for all genders and sexualities.
Equal rights
still denied for
gays in South
North Carolina recently passed a
bill not only allowing, but justifying
the discrimination of the LGBTQIA
community. The bill prevents trans-
gender people from using the cor-
rect bathroom. The bill also does not
allow any North Carolina city to pass
any laws that protect the queer com-
munity. This is absolutely disgusting.
With the legalization of same-sex
marriage in the summer of 2015,
many people, sadly even some inside
of the community, thought that the
fight for equal rights was on its way
to an end. There are plenty of easily
ignored reasons that this is not the
case, but a law that is meant to be as
anti-gay as this one is not something
we can ignore.
What’s worse? Similar bills have
been and are being presented in
multiple states throughout the coun-
try.
Georgia’s governor, Nathan Deal,
thankfully rejected the bill present-
ed to him. Somewhat of a shock to
some of his fellow Republicans. In
both Mississippi and our own state
of Missouri bills are being construct-
ed and presented with similar out-
lines.
Mississippi’s proposed bill is re-
ferred to as the Religious Liberty Ac-
commodations Act, using religion as
a cover of hatred. That is, within it-
self, an entirely separate article with
an argument that you have probably
heard a thousand times before.
Not only can businesses refuse
service to anybody they please
based on gender and sexuality, but
employers can fire or not hire peo-
ple based on the same. Members of
the LGBTQIA community can also
be denied housing on the grounds
of this bill. Schools and employers
would also be allowed to make and
enforce gender specific dress codes.
I honestly wish I was making some
of this up.
Missouri’s anti-gay law is not
quite as extreme, but it is still a terri-
fying reality. Missouri’s bill is mainly
meant to allow business to refuse to
service to LGBTQIA people without
repercussion.
Iaminnowayanti-religion.Ihave
seen religion - more than Christian-
ity alone - do wonderful things for
a lot of people. I also, however, do
not think religious people are being
prosecuted for their religion. These
people are being prosecuted for be-
ing bigots. There is a difference.
It absolutely blows my mind that
in 2016 we are still passing laws that
support discrimination against mi-
norities who have been historically
discriminated against. As I watch
this political circus unfold, I will
have my fingers crossed with the
hope that the American people do
not choose regression.
