Found some shoes today at DSW to go with one of the two dresses I need to decide on for my brother's wedding in November. I know it's a little early yet to worry about it, but I went to try a pair of Madden Girl pumps on that I saw online. The reviews were all good and people said they were comfy, but then I saw these. If I hadn't seen these, I probably would have gone for the Madden Girl pair, but these are much more comfy and have a slightly lower heel. The heel on these is also more of a wedge and I feel more stable in these. I knew that whatever I bought had to be comfy, and something I would wear again. Because the heel is not too high, I can definitely wear these to dress up jeans. The Madden Girl pair, though super cute, just would not get as much use. That slightly higher heel height made all the difference.
Toronto, Apr. 24, 2018 -n this era of #MeToo, misinformation, and media industry upheaval, the media has become the news and journalists who cover the beat are on the frontlines making front page headlines. Hear from reporters covering these turbulent Trumpian times: Michael Calderone, the senior media reporter at Politico who has built a steadfast career covering the intertwining worlds of the press and politics; and Emily Steel, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times business reporter who has covered sexual harassment in newsrooms — from reporting on the toxic culture at VICE Media to breaking the story, with a colleague, on multiple settlements by former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. Ioanna Roumeliotis, reporter with CBC News' The National, moderates this discussion.

What is your artistic process?
How did you come up with your idea?
On Twitter and Facebook #metoo exploded as a way for women to share their stories.
Do you have a focal point (where your eye is specifically drawn to)
Yes, your eyes are intentionally drawn to the safety pin.
How did you push yourself to “get creative” and think outside the box?
It was creative to edit a safety pin that “keeps the mouth shut”.
How did you take/set up the photo?
The photo was shot outside.
I used natural light.
I used a tripod.
I had to take several pictures so I could edit them.
Editing
What type of program did you use?
Photoshop
What did you do in Photoshop specifically to make your picture better?
I used photoshop actions to make the picture look darker.
Did you use text? If so what font? Why did you feel that you needed to use text?
Yes, I used perpetua. I felt like I needed to use text to push the social issue because the photo could be about domestic abuse as well, but I decided to choose sexual assault.
Message
What is your issue or issues that you addressed in your photo?
I addressed speaking about sexual assault.
Give me some facts about your issue (cite the web address)
Social media was flooded with messages Sunday, mostly from women, who tagged their profiles to indicate that they have been sexually harassed or assaulted. On Sunday actress Alyssa Milano tweeted a note that read "Suggested by a friend: If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote "Me too" as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem."

Victims of rape and attempted rape who did not report to the police did not report for a number of reasons. 43% of victims did not report because they thought that nothing could be done, 27% thought it was a private matter, 12% were afraid of the police response, and 12% felt it was not important enough to report.

What is the connection between you and the issue that you chose?
I am connected to the issue because I have been sexually assaulted before along with some of my friends.
Is there any mood you wanted to specifically capture?
I wanted to capture an uncomfortable mood. I want the viewer to question this photo because there is no direct feeling.
What is your message about the photo? Meaning what are you really trying to say about this?
The message I am trying to portray is sexual assault victims are usually pressured by society to keep quiet about the assault so they don’t ruin the perpetrators life.
Reflection
What is the most successful aspect of your photo? Why?
The most successful aspect of the photo is the safety pin through the lips because I had to edit one in since I didn’t want to actually puncture myself.
What is the least successful aspect of our photo? Why?
The least successful aspect of my photo is the angle is was shot because the bottom right of the photo is empty and it is distracting to the eye.
What was the most difficult part about the assignment?
The most difficult part about this assignment was editing it because I couldn’t figure out how to edit all layers at once.
Were you able to achieve what you were going for?
I was able to achieve what I was going for.
Which photo was more difficult? Why?
The picture with the safety pin was more difficult since I had to put 3 pictures together.
What have you learned from doing this project?
I learned that I need to not be so literal with art.

October is Domestic Violence Month, but in our current socio-political climate, most of us don’t need a calendar announcement to be reminded of this insidious abuse.
The #metoo movement, the recent Supreme Court Justice hearings, the fall from grace of several prominent business, entertainment and political leaders – all of these events mark a critical time in our history. They have brought sexual assault out of the shadows and into the mainstream.
Domestic violence – otherwise known as Intimate Partner Violence (or IPV) – does not discriminate. It affects women, men and children of all ages, cultures, socio-economic backgrounds and racial groups. Victims of IPV deserve our primary focus, of course. But researchers are also concerned with understanding the motivation of abusers.
We’ve known for many years that domestic violence is often an intergenerational issue. And we also know that most victims are women, and most abusers are men. Since boys and girls tend to mirror the gender roles that parents exhibit, it’s critical to examine what fathers are teaching their sons about how they move about in the world, and how they relate to others. Some of these lessons may reflect what has been labeled “toxic masculinity”, a phrase coined by the Mythopoetic men’s movement of the 1980s and 1990s. It was initially considered a male response to the teachings of feminism, but more currently we use the phrase to refer to behavior that is sometimes aggressive, hurtful or abusive. It’s helping us as a society kick off discussion around what it means to be a man.
Actor, filmmaker and entrepreneur Justin Baldoni (yes, “Jane the Virgin” fans – that Justin Baldoni!) presented a TED talk last year entitled “Why I’m Done Trying to Be Man Enough”. He talks about the kinds of things he learned from his father, and why some of them created conflict for him socially. It raises issues around societal expectations and the evolution of his behavior and attitudes toward women.
These kinds of conversations aim to promote awareness of domestic abuse. If we can gain more knowledge about where violence begins, we can provide better support to survivors and ultimately work toward an overall reduction of intimate partner violence.
