"So I've been told yer a fan of mine," the middle-aged man smiled.

Robert smiled at the middle aged man, “I’ve heard of yeh…you’re a bit of the folk variety aren’t you?” Robert nodded “Folk is never bad…where would we be without Joan Baez or Arlo Guthrie…a lot worse off I imagine”

Peter nodded and gave the Englishman a smile. "Aye... of course. Both of them pupils of mine, and one, my godson," he laughed with a laugh that often reminded one of Father Christmas. He held out a hand and nodded. "Pete Seeger. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The 39 most important feminist moments in 2014

In 1998, TIME Magazine declared feminism dead. Nearly 15 years later, it wondered if instead, perhaps feminism should be banned. Constantly on attack from all sides, feminism has spent the past few decades proving its importance and relevance over and over and over again. If there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that the backlash against feminism will always be a measure of our success. That’s the thing with progress — it is far too often perceived as a threat by those who benefit from the status quo.

Indeed, as we head into December, it’s clear that the year 2014 was a historic one for feminism. Across the Internet and the world, women stood up for their rights, challenged stereotypes, fought for recognition and took control of the dialogue.

The following is a list of some of the most iconic feminist moments this year.

Complete chills. Amazing.

Pete’s face contorted into a sympathetic expression. He patted his friend’s shoulder and sighed, “I’m sorry, Phil. It pains me to see you and her like this, but it’s for the best. Ifyou need a jacket, don’t forget you left one here last time,” he chuckled.

”ah, she’s acting like this on purpose. i don’t mind really, i don’t care.” he walked though to living room with pete and sat on the softest sofa, ”yeah, that fucking jacket, i’ve been looking for that one!” he chuckled. ”you know i’m a young man with a busy mind. tell me, is there any news?”

[itspeteseeger]

Peter thought for a second -- the middle-aged man didn't have the mind of a young one anymore. He brought his hand to his chin in thought and took a few steps forward. "Ah," he exclaimed, pointing a finger in the air, "our lovely Miss Baez is in jail," he nodded. "Also, Allen and his partner -- Peter Orlovsky -- are planning to stop by in the next week or two. Stick around till then, won't you?"

Pete rushed to the door as he heard the knock, getting there before Toshi did, giving her a playful grin as he reached to open the door. “Finally!” laughed the man, “I thought you’d never show up. Come on in here, before you get frostbite.”

[philipochs]

”ah, jesus christ..” said phil as he entered to the house. ”it’s really cold, ha? i left the house so quickly that i forgot wearing the fucking jacket!” he giggled to himself and hugged to his friends. ”i’m sorry for being late. it’s because of alice..” he sighed, ”again”

Pete's face contorted into a sympathetic expression. He patted his friend's shoulder and sighed, "I'm sorry, Phil. It pains me to see you and her like this, but it's for the best. Ifyou need a jacket, don't forget you left one here last time," he chuckled.

Toshi Seeger (1922-July 9, 2013) married folk singer and activist Pete Seeger in 1943. Toshi had a formidable career as an organizer and artist of her own as a musician, but also as a documentarian. Her film about Texas inmates’ work songs is part of the National Archives. Rest in power Toshi!

Pete hummed a light tune, rocking on his heels as he held his banjo in one hand and a notebook in the other. Phil should have been here a while ago, but the man was nowhere in sight.

[philipochs]

phil was going to meet with one of his great friends, pete, but he was late as always. his ex wife alice didn’t show up to take their little kid meegan, so he had to wait for her to come for awhile. muttering to himself, he wore his shoes quickly, took his classic guitar and old jacket, and he was on the way.

phil was finally on his friends door, so he impatiently knocked. ”i’m freezing, man, open it!”

[itspeteseeger]

Pete rushed to the door as he heard the knock, getting there before Toshi did, giving her a playful grin as he reached to open the door. "Finally!" laughed the man, "I thought you'd never show up. Come on in here, before you get frostbite."

  I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again - 

Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone. 

Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.

If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time. 

And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office.
