    Laura R. Shantz and Sylvie Frigon noted in their study that most non-profit groups- including the Elizabeth Fry Society-have limited means by which to make their facilities accessible. The authors discuss how older women may face mobility limitations and that for some women with physical disabilities, challenges such as winter weather may cause isolation and limit their access to resources. Mary, one of the women Shantz and Frigon interviewed, said about non-profits like E Fry that “you’ve got mobility issues to take into consideration… Elderly women might not be able to get out into the community in the middle of winter to go to a drop-in center or to get out and participate in an event” (Shantz). Therefore, while E Fry offers many programs and services to women, many of said programs are simply just not created with women who have physical limitations in mind and this restricts the amount of people utilizing their services.…

    Lately, I have been pondering on the harsh dress code rules. When did my shoulders become something I should be ashamed of showing? When did it become a secret that girls wear undergarments? Admonishing girls for letting their shoulders or bra straps show is the most ridiculous form of dress code. Dress coding this harshly can promote negative feelings about their bodies, when they already feel bad enough.…

    QUESTIONING CREDIBILITY Dianne Rockenstein, who received her Bachelor's degree in psychology and Master's degree in counseling psychology, wrote a public review discussing Daphne Scholinski's memoir The Last Time I Wore a Dress.

    Outfits can be tricky, sometimes you can pick the perfect outfit in a metter of a second but other times not so much. When I was in San Francisco, I took a painting and drawing class which required of me to be ready at 8:45am because my class started at 9am, which wasnt such an easy task for me.

    A widespread opinion in the United States, and presumably elsewhere in the western world today, it that teenagers are irresponsible and emotional, not to mention ungrateful. While these traits may not necessarily be the fault of the teenagers themselves, rather the society and the ways in which they were raised in, this opinion is still present. Along with this opinion is the assumption that they cannot be trusted with large cumbersome responsibilities. While it is true that teenagers can be emotional due to fluctuating hormones and at times irresponsible, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they cannot have an effect on the world in which they live. Three prominent examples of these in fairly recent history include Mary Shelley, Christopher Paolini,…
