That’s not all they do - they’ve got more information on their website. 

What else they do that is awesome:

Stop child marriages

Persuade families to educate girl-child

Train women in self-defense

Oppose corruption in administration

Create awareness about the evils of dowry

Register FIRs against sex-offenders and abusive husbands

Publicly shame molesters

Encourage women to become financially independent

Yesssssssss. Female empowerment is a wonderful thing.

Remember, you have to put enough styrofoam into gasoline that it turns into a lumpy mixture of both parts before putting it in the bottle you’re designating for the molotov. Also remember that that’s just an educational tidbit of information for you, and I’m in no way saying USE THEM AGAINST THE...

Two men and two women wanna found a wizarding school.They happen to have different preferences among those admitted. The dudes both want cocky fucks who’ll go off fightin dragons and basilisks and shit. And one of them is racist. The women are like “Uh, learning. I would like the children in the SCHOOL we’re founding to be into books” and “Idk, anybody? Like anybody that wants to, like, attend? Why are we even separating them again, I’m confused”

At work the other day, a customer tried to take a photo of myself and another dancer, which is explicitly against the rules of our club. I grabbed his phone out of his hand, deleted the pics, and then proceeded to text his parent’s mobile number a message that basically said “I’m at the stripclub and I tried to sneak a picture so now strippers have stolen my phone and are letting you so you know that I’m bad at respecting club rules.”

If you remove biological femaleness from the definition of “woman” you’re left with stereotypes related to femininity.

If you then try to remove the stereotypes, you’re left with a word that defines absolutely nothing, and is useful to no one.

And making a word that is important to the discussion of systematic oppression into meaningless window dressing is fucking bullshit.

It seems that when you want to make a woman into a hero, you hurt her first. When you want to make a man into a hero, you hurt… also a woman first.

 ”We get in trouble all the time on the show for saying vagina [even though it’s a medical show]. You can say penis but not vagina, it’s a whole ‘Standards and Practices’ thing. They have more of a problem with the word vagina than with the word penis. So of course Shonda Rhimes puts it 45 times in one script.” -Ellen Pompeo

According to new FBI statistics released this week, violent crime rates in the US fell over 4% in the past year alone, bringing the amount of violent crimes lower than it has been in nearly 40 years. The statistics showed that there were an estimated 1.16 million violent crimes in the year of 2013, which is the lowest number since 1978, when 1.09 million were recorded.

Broken down, the report revealed that manslaughter dropped by 4.4% to 14,196, the lowest rate since 1968, while instances of rape were down 6.3%. Despite the tough economic times, robbery is also down by 2.8% and property crimes were down by 4.1%. The violent crime rate has been steadily declining since 1994, but the prison population has continued to increase over the decades. There are currently over two and a half million people imprisoned in the US, which is by far the largest prison population in the world.
