NAWL Gender and the Law Handbook

Scroll down to see more content

In 2012, a few students and I collaborated to create a gender and the law handbook for first year law students as an introduction to the feminist legal issues and intersectionality that they would experience but may not have a chance to unpack during 1L. http://www.nawl.ca/files/NAW0100%20Gender%20and%20Law%20FINAL.pdf

Yesterday, I attended a writing workshop on the hermit-crab essay format with @vanessa_loba . I was inspired to try out this format by applying it to current events. Plus I'm still angry.

#happymenstrualhygieneday !! 🔴 Unlike most people with periods, I love mine! Here's why:⁣ ⁣ 1) I went years without a period in my teens, and my periods continue to be irregular #oligomenhorrea, so whenever it does decide to return, it's always a welcome surprise. For me, as a woman with #pcos, my period has always been an indicator of hormonal health and overall wellness. So I welcome them when they arrive ("Hey Aunt Flo!"). When I don't have one, I'm actually not worried that I might be pregnant -- rather, I worry about what that means about my ratio of progesterone to estrogen, cortisol, androgens etc.⁣ ⁣ 2) I only have very mild period pain (don't hate me 🙈). Only twice in my life the pain was debilitating. That typically happens if I hadn't had a period for months.⁣ ⁣ 3) Because my Mom did such a good job of handling the period conversation -- chose a time to discuss it during a rare moment of bonding, calmly answered any questions I had, told me where to find pads in the house and not to wear white -- when I finally had my first period it was one of the most exciting days of my life! #womanhood⁣ ⁣ Because my Dad wasn't squeamish about "women's stuff" (when mom wasn't available, before we went camping he'd not only ask if we packed our sleeping bags but also pads), I learned that mature men don't think periods are a big deal. Men have an important role to play in destigmatizing periods. Most of y'all LOVE being up in the #vajayjay but you're squirmish about the blood that flows from the punani? Makes no sense.⁣ ⁣ Inadvertently, my parents taught me that talking about periods makes it less weird.⁣ ⁣ So I'm taking today to talk about it.⁣ ⁣ So many children and adult don't have access to menstrual products and many advocates are ostracized (Google Arunachalam Muruganantham India's #menstrualman). Consider how we can take the shame out of periods for everyone worldwide (including homeless and trans people), increase access and decrease stigma. ⁣ ⁣ #vulvacupcakes #punanipower #menstrualhealth #menstrualhygiene #menstrualhygieneday #allbodiesaregoodbodies #period #ilovemyperiod #menstruation #menstruationmatters #pumpum #poonani pic from @sexwithdrjess

I told you that it would happen again, and it did. I mean, of course it happened again. Of course. And it'll happen again. And again. And again. Ad infinitum. "Karens" kill. Their tears are lethal. Some people use their blue uniform to hide their cavernous racism. And yet some insist on blaming the Black "obese" body for their disproportionate death rates from COVID instead of the structural racism and systems of inequality in access to food, healthcare and employment that keep them and their lives "poor, nasty, brutish and short" to quote Thomas Hobbes. I can't fix this by myself. I don't have the right kind of privilege to do so. But some of you can. Here are some ways. Don't just write #icantbreathe. Use your breath to talk to your circle of influence on why this is all so wrong (devious really). Don't just #sayhisname. Raise hell. Prove that we're truly #inthistogether . @ijeomaoluo @rachel.cargle

Some random photos of things I made this weekend and random thoughts. ⁣ 1️⃣I made @almondbutterflycafe 's sour cream bundt cake but subbed flaxmeal for the eggs, coconut yogurt for the sour cream and a mixture of brown and coconut sugar instead of white sugar. Over the past few years I've insisted on making a lot of my own food (like fries). Tastes better, healthier oil and I know exactly what I'm eating. But sometimes it feels like I insist on making my life harder by cooking everything from scratch.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣Last night's #verzuz battle was one for the books! I'm hoping that Swizz and Timbaland plan a soca, afrobeat and reggae battle. Bring @machelmontano. Destra 🆚️ Alison Hinds. Beres Hammond?⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣So many ppl are breaking off their engagements and relationships during this time, and it reminds me that the best thing one can do is enjoy life at every stage and make peace with being by oneself. Being alone. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to find someone or that you will be alone but if you are ok with your default setting, then you'll be more resilient if things don't pan out and you are empowered to leave if things go south. Relationships are so transient. Just because you finally get into one doesn't mean you have arrived and you can finally breathe easy. One day you're single and the next day you're engaged. One day you're engaged and the next day you're single. Don't be like the movie Waiting to Exhale. Dont hold your breath until the dust settles. Exhale now. Your current life, in whatever state or relationship status, demands your breath and your energy.⁣ ⁣ I believe that the purpose of life is to bloom -- to become who God made you to be (among other intersecting purposes -- to be made holy and to worship Him). God may use marriage to do that. God may decide otherwise. God may use singleness to do that. He may decide otherwise. God may use children to do that. He may decide otherwise. Should you make a mistake, God says, "Don't worry. I can use that too." The purpose is not to get married. Marriage is but one of many tools. It is the crucible. It is the instrument, not the destination. Blooming is the goal. The blossom is the destination.

#flashbackfriday Back when outside was a thing. I miss youuuuuuuuu!! I miss us. I miss the fun we had at @lafitnesssheppard @lafitness . I'm so happy @chicaswithmuscles and @netteghod always took pics! @zin_stephy @z_erinyou @woods_elle @cbgallagher_yoga @nadahaffar55 @far2307

#parentsbelike #fruitsnackchallenge I decided to do the #fruitsnackschallenge with my plants -- the only other living thing up in this joint -- and they did SO WELL! 🥳 I'm so proud. I used plant food instead of #fruitsnacks obvi. You know, the Word says to train up a child in the way they should go and I'm proud to know that all of my painstaking parenting has not been in vain. (Of all my videos, this better not go viral. I have my bonnet and PJs on and I'm not wearing a bra. 🙃😂). #plantmom #plantmomsofinstagram #plantmomsbelike #plantparenthood #sorryihaveplants #plantlife @plant_aholics @crazyplantpeople @houseofplantlovers #houseplantfamily #fiddleleaffigfriday #fiddleleafficus #dieffenbachia #prayerplant #rattlesnakecalathea #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplanthome #childless #childfree #plantsarefamily #plantsaremychildren
