WHY THE ‘Y’?

ASU WOMYN’S COALITION IS ON THE FRONT LINE OF FEMINISM MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

A

responsible for overseeing the logistics, operations, leadership development and organizational structure of the coalition.

She says she learned about feminism through YouTube videos and Tumblr posts in middle school, which eventually introduced her to social justice issues and activism.

“I consider myself a feminist but even more so, I consider myself a social justice activist,” the senior justice studies and public policy major says. “I’m here for the cause, whatever it might be.”

Megan McGuire, the club’s director of marketing and social media chair, grew up in a predominantly male family, which she says made it difficult to develop an identity. She identifies as a feminist because she doesn’t always fit into traditional female roles.

“People judge women for not shaving or not wearing makeup or high heels,” she says. “I played lacrosse, I want to be an engineer, I like carpentry, I like to use tools… You can be whatever you want.

I want to make people aware that being a feminist doesn’t mean bra-burning or not shaving. Feminists are just people who want equality for both sexes.”

The Womyn’s Coalition, colloquially referred to as WoCo, also aims to promote positive relationships between other women’s organizations on campus.

“We’re like an umbrella organization,” McGuire explains. “We’re like the mother, and all the other organizations are under our roof.”

Though the Womyn’s Coalition is an organization dedicated to and run by women, its members want all genders to be part of the conversation.

“We spell it with a ‘Y’ because men don’t have to be a part of everything we do,” Wyroba explains. “It doesn’t mean we completely exclude men.”

Cohan finds it inspiring when guys are interested in what they’re doing.

“A lot of what they see in the media is the stereotype of this big angry monster and they don’t want to get their heads bit off because they’re a dude,” she says

of feminist stereotypes. “It’s cool that it’s slowly shifting to where it’s more accepting.”

The coalition seeks to provide information about feminism to squash stereotypes and spread love.

“Feminism isn’t about women being better than men, it’s that we’re equals,” Wyroba says.

McGuire acknowledges the important role social media plays in broadcasting feminist ideals. But there’s also a slew of misinformation out there about feminism. The group agrees this can be combatted by practicing feminism in small ways every day.

She believes society scrutinizes women more than men. Her form of feminism is leading by example and leveling the playing field in her own perceptions of people, in an attempt to eliminate the double-edged sword stereotype.

“People say, ‘This girl slept with two guys in two weeks.’ Meanwhile, men get high fives for sleeping with two girls at one time,” says the biomedical engineering major. “If men can do as they please and it’s socially acceptable, then so should women. I don’t judge women for sleeping with guys and I don’t shame a man for wearing eye shadow.”

Rugland says her version of feminism includes empathy for all people, especially women and women of color, which includes acknowledging there are social disadvantages.

“One of the ways that I practice a version of feminism every day is opening up a space for love and acceptance in a society that is really judgmental,” she says.

Though the group is a testament to the great strides women have made in the last few decades, the women of WoCo admit there is still a long way to go.

“I think people downplay and have always downplayed the struggles that women face,” Rugland says. “I think we’re going to see a resurgence of people

truly seeing the need for feminism.”

This desire for empowerment and action is fueled by reaching out to the community and creating a safe space to not only get educated, but to get involved. McGuire says the first step is creating an inclusive, encouraging environment.

“Women like to compete against other women,” McGuire explains. “We’re bringing each other up. We’re not bringing each other down or competing or trying to be better. We’re helping each other. We preach love and we want people to feel welcome. Our doors are always open.”

Rugland says her favorite part of leading and being a part of the Womyn’s Coalition is helping other women. The coalition holds general body meetings every month and hosts informative events regularly. The group is gearing up for Women’s Herstory Month in March, which will feature events and activities that celebrate and embrace female heritage.

“I love the process of not only learning how to put big events together and working with different people, but that we host events to hear from people with experiences that may be different than yours or that you maybe haven’t considered,” she says. “We are letting people learn different skills and selfempowerment… and reaching across different lines to learn about different experiences.”

For the Womyn’s Coalition, creating a change starts on campus with peers, professors, neighbors and friends.

“We’re all equal… I don’t care what color you are, what you identify with, whatever you do, we’re all human beings,” Wyroba says. “Feminism is equality.” CT

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM |FEBRUARY 9, 2017

SU freshman Claire Cohan says feminism is a very deep-rooted part of who she is.

“I didn’t always know that it was called feminism, but I’ve always had that part of me that’s been a very big influence on my actions,” she says.

Those actions include getting kicked out of private Catholic school for standing up for what she believes in.

“I didn’t like to be put in pretty little dresses or told to go to dance class.

I wanted to play basketball with the boys instead of playing house on the playground with the girls,” she says.

“I would always get in fights with the boys because I would mouth off to them and they would throw a fist at me and I would throw a fist right back. Eventually I got kicked out for that — for sticking up for myself and speaking my mind.”

When she was transferred to public school, her attitude didn’t change.

When she came to ASU, she discovered the Womyn’s Coalition, where she is currently a communications intern.

“I started to learn what feminism was,” she says. “I always knew it was there — that warm feeling I get in my stomach when I talk about it — but I didn’t know what to call it.”

That “warm feeling” of fighting for female rights and empowerment is a common thread among the members of the organization, which is one of seven coalitions on campus that aims to unify the student population, celebrate equality, spread awareness and create a safe space. The executive board members of the Womyn’s Coalition have similar stories about when they discovered their own feminist identities.

Alexandra Wyroba, the coalition’s director of communications, says she was inspired in fifth grade when she chose Susan B. Anthony to profile for a school project.

“Even as a little kid, I picked someone so vital to changing history and giving me the right to vote,” she says.

Erin Rugland is the group’s facilitator,

“She’s not afraid to get ugly and gross and dirty on stage,” she says. “When a lot of females in the media perform, they always have to have this image of being put together, and that’s not how all women are.”

Clark booked the upcoming show, which will feature five indie/ punk bands and 12 poets. The interdisciplinary studies major is personally inspired by skate punk bands like Fidlar, which he says widened his sonic horizons.

“People have different music tastes and people want to play different things,” he says. “People with different interests will bring different crowds.

I think it’s super important to have diversification.”

Clark believes ASU is the perfect venue to advocate for the local independent music scene.

“College is where everybody gets their start,” he says. “I’m really into surf and skate punk and all of those bands’ origins are very DIY. They play house shows… they’ll release a tape, and then somewhere on the internet it blows up. Then they start touring all over the country, but they stay very humble.

They’ll still play house shows every so often because that’s where they came from.”

Clark was in high school when he first found out about TUF. He wanted to be a part of the scene, but he didn’t know how. Now that he is a part of the organization, he wants to help other people figure out how to get involved, whether they want to discover new bands or they’re a band waiting to be discovered.

“I want people to know that it’s okay to mess up now; this is a safe space to do that,” Molina adds. “This is a good learning experience for people to get started musically or through their art.”

One of Molina’s fondest memories was when she performed at a house show last summer.

“The AC broke that day and I was opening for some bands from California,” Molina recalls. “Not only was it super hot, but I played the worst set… but the other acts started talking to me and we kept in touch. Because of that, I’ve gotten the opportunity to go to California and have places to stay and be a part of that community. It’s so cool that all these people from all these different places can get to know each other through music.”

Clark was in the audience during that show. Though he was out of breath and drenched in sweat, he felt an unparalleled sense of solidarity.

“We had 50 people in this super cramped room, four bands, no AC … but we all powered through it,” Clark says. “I was in the mosh pit for the majority of it and by the end, I was barely breathing, but everyone was like that… you see that people are genuinely there for the music and there to have a really good time.” CT.

“I started looking up what I could be involved with at the school and what the music scene was like and I couldn’t find anything,” she says. “I was like, ‘Well this will suck because now I can’t meet people.’ I was really surprised when I found this club, but when I tried to join my first year, it didn’t work out.”

Molina says she felt excluded from a scene that is supposed to be about selfexpression and inclusivity. She not only wanted a space where underground music and art could be appreciated, but where its appreciators felt accepted.

The junior English Lit major is now president of the club.

According to the TUF website, it is a group of students “dedicated to solidifying and improving an independent music and art scene in (the) community.”

The club is also committed to creating a place where people can truly be themselves.

“We’re trying to get people more involved. We want people to submit art, we want people to submit poetry, we want them to send us their music,” says sophomore Tyler Clark, who serves as the club’s secretary. “We want to support what they’re doing.”

TUF regularly books art shows, poetry readings and house shows with local and touring bands and artists.

Clark says you don’t have to be an ASU student to join TUF or participate in its events.

“A lot of people are like, ‘I don’t go to ASU. Can I still be part of the club?’” he says. “If you play music, join TUF, if you make art, join TUF.” The club has been putting on house shows around Phoenix and Tempe since its inception at ASU nearly a decade ago. TUF believes that throwing shows in people’s living rooms is a much more intimate and inclusive experience than concerts at corporate venues. Molina says they are a key component in fostering a sense of community in the underground scene.

“When you first start going, it can be a little intimidating because everyone knows each other,” she says. “Now I walk into a room and everybody knows me. It started to feel like a little community.”

She says house shows are also a great way to discover unknown genres and musicians.

She’s seen everything from DJ sets in tiny living rooms to mosh pits in kitchens.

Though TUF has made a name for itself through house shows, Molina says she wants to do a lot more with poetry, photography and art this semester. The club’s next event is a house show and poetry reading on February 17. At the end of March, the group hopes to book an all-female showcase.

Molina, who plays guitar and piano, came up with the idea. She says she was inspired by Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O.

WE DON’T BELIEVE IN

TOTALLY ACCURATE PREDICTIONS YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | FEBRUARY 9, 2017

16

AQUARIUS

PISCES

ARIES

TAURUS

(JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18)

(FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20)

(MARCH 21 – APRIL 21)

(APRIL 22 – MAY 20)

You’ve already been through a lot this year, Aquarius. You tend to roll your eyes every time someone gives you banal advice like “Don’t forget to breathe” and “Take it a step at a time.” But look at it this way: If you don’t, you’ll pass out and trip over your own feet.

A noble quest is in your future, Pisces.

Whether it’s a walk of shame in the rain or a journey to get your wallet back from last night’s Uber, it will be successful.

You’ve been feeling anxious lately, Aries, but it’s time to relax. Things are looking up: gas prices, tuition, car insurance, Chicago Cubs tickets, rent, car accidents, political disparity…

New year, new you, Taurus. It’s time to push yourself to the limit — see how long you can go without doing your laundry or cleaning your room and living off a strict diet of Top Ramen and Easy Mac.

GEMINI

CANCER

LEO

VIRGO

(MAY 21 – JUNE 21)

(JUNE 22 – JULY 22)

(JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)

(AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22)

You’ve become a Post-It note prodigy, Gemini. Those masterpieces made of sticky yellow squares you display in your dorm window are impressive, but your newfound talent is hindering you from doing your history homework.

At this point, however, your future as a Post-It artist is far brighter than a career as a historian.

Your love life is looking bleak these days, Cancer. With Valentine’s Day looming closer, you’re getting desperate for a date.

Maybe all those eHarmony ads you’ve been seeing aren’t just a coincidence.

Your inability to sugarcoat anything has rendered you friendless. That’s what you get for being salty instead of sweet, Leo.

Your lifelong goal of being a professional billiards player is looking more and more like a pipe dream, Virgo. It was a dead giveaway when you shrieked in fear and vowed never to go swimming again when someone mentioned the term “pool shark.”

LIBRA

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN

(SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22)

(OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21)

(NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21)

(DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)

Libra, you’re often praised for militantly defending your beliefs. However, your dogged crusade to convince anyone and everyone that Samoas are better than Thin Mints is starting to get out of hand.

You may think your freedom is in jeopardy lately, Scorpio. But just remember you have the autonomy to pick a plethora of things: your friends, fights, flowers, your nose…the possibilities are endless.

Pay attention to your dreams this month, Sag. Will all your deepest, burning questions be subconsciously answered?

No, but you’d be surprised at all the weird stuff your mind can come up with — especially if you eat a bunch of Oreos right before bed.

People find you abrasive, irreverent, stubborn and mildly cynical, Capricorn.

Occasionally, people appreciate your bluntness and even more rarely appreciate (or understand) your sense of humor. CT
