The nice thing about being 21 instead of 5 when you get your first bee sting and learn how to ride a bike is that you get to numb the pain/celebrate with ice cream AND alcohol

This is huge, Ladies and Gents

In Saudi Arabia women are registering to vote right now!

A big cheer for our sisters in Saudi Arabia and may this be just the next step on their path to equality.

This is not huge. It is actually not. Im a Saudi woman, my family has lived therefor over 50 years and NONE OF US have ever voted, heard of elections or anything. Its a monarchy. Even if someone somehow for whatever reason ended up voting, it doesnt mean anything. They are entirely irrelevant and on the long list of things Saudi needs to do for its women this is the absolute least relevant thing. Do the 35,000+ people reblogging this know that honor killings are still legal and one just happened just now? That to open a bank account, get a job orleave the country a woman must have signed permission from amale guardian? That all women, no matter how old, are treated like minors by the state? That women can lose their visitation and custody rights if their husband wakes up one day and decides thats what he feels like? What about the fact that women cant drive? Im barely scratching the surface here but this is just a “nice” gesture. It is more a silencing tactic than anything. Nothing more nothing less. This is not meaningful or relevant or imporant. Again, this is a monarchy anda dictatorship. There are no elections really, and the ones that maybe exist, do not affect real change and are merely symbolic.

Im bitter because the world is full of crap. Sorry.
