MOXIE Notes
Thursday November 8, 2007
EVENTS:
Street Harassment event has been officially approved for November 29th from 6 to 8pm. The self-defense workshop is tentatively set for December 6th.
Start flyer preparation!
General:
Lollipops:
A set of 50 is $42.90. We could sell them for $2 each to raise money for V-Day and for Eve Ensler to speak. We could also do a promotion where 1/$2.00 and 3/$5.00. We’re going to buy 3 sets of the lollipops to start with before we order any more.
Suggestions:
Co-host with the residence halls in the spring another self-defense workshop. However, one would have to participate in the first two workshops to do the third (which would consist of practicing techniques on a man). But in the third workshop the abilities can be split into groups.
Discussion:
A bit of continuation from last week concerning the way females dress and if we’re ever responsible for it, as in “certain things attract attention” and thus, to wear or not to wear?
–When is the line crossed? There is a line between good/bad/middle intentions.
Strip classes as exercise.
–”Women’s job” to enliven bedroom..–why?
–Kinky things becoming mainstream.
Abortion in Hollywood
–Negativity of its portrayal Or women never having to make the decision
–How “should” it be portrayed?
Kids and Masturbation
–It’s a taboo
–Censorship of it as ultimately damaging to the kids
–Sex Ed (or lack thereof) in schools; how it is sterilized
