Why Good Girls Don't...and Do. Girls and young women receive many conflicting messages: Be a good girl. Boys will only like you if you put out. Show off your body to get attention and worth. Don't be a slut. It can be difficult for young women to negotiate what they do and don't want, and to be able to voice that in a healthy way. This interactive lecture delves into the power that young women have and how they can make choices that honor their bodies, health, feelings, and future.
Love My Body – How Do I Do That? We hear the message “Love Your Body,” but what does that really mean and how can we do that? This interactive lecture explores media depictions of bodies and the consumer culture around that, as well as gender socialization, components of body-image, what we can do to support each other, and skills to build a strong foundation for self-love physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The focus here is on women’s bodies, but the messages and skills are relevant to all.
Female Sexual Empowerment for the 21st Century. Is a young woman in Girls Gone Wild sexually liberated? Or is she following gendered scripts of what it means to be valuable as a woman? Young women are socialized with many conflicting messages about what it means to be a woman, in a relationship, sexually active, and empowered. This interactive lecture digs at the many layers of awareness and worth women have, and how to tap into that in loving and empowering ways.
