Every year around Halloween, we share information about cultural appropriation and encourage our community to think through their decisions regarding costumes. A holiday is not an excuse to perpetuate cultural stereotypes. #MyCultureIsNOTaCostume

A wonderful read that brings to mind many of the words from our panelists on Tuesday. Ending sexual assault, harassment, and rape is an issue that involved EVERYONE. lithub.com/rebecca-solnit-le…
Phew! If you weren't able to make it, we hope you enjoy our tweets summarizing remarks from today's panel. Our panelists were incredible and we feel so lucky to have them as part of our Baylor community.
At the end of our panel and small group discussion, we left the audience with this quote from former First Lady @MichelleObama: “The measure of any society is how it treats its women and girls.”
This community anger about the massive problem of sexual assault is a good, healthy anger of deeply concerned individuals ready to have a demanding, active role in society.
Stereotypically, when men get angry, they break things and hurt people. Stereotypically, when women get angry they're called hysterical and maniacal OR women’s anger is often delegitimized.
