Feminist Student Union Exec Application

Remember, valuing the lives of women should be an everyday process that leads to equitable policies, infrastructure, employment, healthcare, government and the list continues. If you truly care, educate yourself on issues that affect women. And if the only issue you think is important is the pay gap, reevaluate your thinking.



So in honor of International Women’s Day, here are some pieces to explore. Remember, if your feminism is not intersectional, it isn’t feminism.

Additionally, for those who are wondering about our stance on the “A Day Without A Woman” protest:
We recognize that since the protest requires women to sacrifice a day of labor and shopping, it may not be accessible to non-privileged groups of women. However, we also recognize that most of the strides made within women’s movements were made by unrecognized, non-privileged and vulnerable women of the population. What are your thoughts on this protest and topic? Comment below and share your thoughts. Please also maintain respect within this discussion. We reserve the right to remove any comment we deem offensive or off topic.

Feminism A collection of TED Talks (and more) on the topic of feminism.

FSU's Writing Workshop is cancelled for this week. Please stay tuned for further updates, and thanks for your flexibility!
