Science. It works, bitches. Regardless of whether you believe it or not.

True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women. And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.” My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part.

Also, a study where they had women and men talking in a discussion: when women spoke around 30% of the time, men perceived them as dominating the discussion. They didn’t consider it “equal” until something like 5-10% of women talking. (via dumbthingswhitepplsay)

Voila. A beautiful example of why fighting for equality becomes a gross exaggeration in the eyes of the oppressors. (via curiouslycool)

ANYONE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION PLEASE READ THIS

As someone with experience of working for one of the world's top pharmaceutical companies, I can vouch that this woman speaks the truth.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was developed in the 1990’s by a group of psychologists who devised a programme that brought together meditation and cognitive therapy approaches.

MBCT is becoming more and more widely practised and researched, and is being increasingly used to help people with a variety of difficulties.

It is recommended as an effective, evidence-based practice by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) to prevent relapse in depression, and research studies suggest it can help people who have difficulties with low mood, anxiety and stress.
