Rape Culture? What is this “Rape Culture” you speak of?

Seriously though, this is terrifying. God forbid I wear a skirt outside — I’m just ASKING   to be raped if I do that.

The 58% statistic actually terrifies me more than any other. Suddenly change the word and you don’t care? 

No one will ever be able to convince me that words hold no power.

if you live in the US and have ever sent a message telling the recipient to kill themselves, you’ve committed the felony of encouraging suicide and, depending on the state’s laws (meaning, what class of felony it is), you could be looking at a fine of $25,000+ and 10+ years in prison, just for encouragement

and if they actually do it, you are legally responsible and, in some states, you can also be charged with manslaughter

do people not realize this or

BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL

The Gulabi gang is a group of women vigilantes active across North India. It is named after the pink saris worn by its members. The group was founded as a response to widespread domestic abuse and other violence against women. Gulabis visit abusive husbands and beat them with bamboo sticks. In 2008, they stormed an electricity office and forced officials to restore the power they had cut to extract bribes. The Gulabis have also stopped child marriages and protested dowry and female illiteracy.

aren’t these the women who, after hearing screams, broke into a house and found a man raping a woman, then dragged him out onto the street wherein the whole block full of people beat him to death? I think there were photos of it as well? 

I can’t seem to find that particular article but there have been other instances lately of mobs of angry Indians, not just women, taking justice into their own hands, while their corrupt police force doesn’t. I mean, vigilante justice isn’t really something to condone, but… yknow, if there isn’t anybody to do the job, someone will rise…

That’s all you’re gonna mention? not that her cells have been used to cure a slew of diseases? or how she saved hundreds of thousands of people and didn’t even have a tombstone until a few years ago?

come on, you make it sound like they give a shit about a Black woman being an integral part of the salvation of millions and continuing to be so.

Everyone go read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Now. Go.

Clinton’s clot located between brain and skull, doctors say

“In the course of a routine follow-up MRI on Sunday, the scan revealed that a right transverse sinus venous thrombosis had formed. This is a clot in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage. To help dissolve this clot, her medical team began treating the Secretary with blood thinners. She will be released once the medication dose has been established. In all other aspects of her recovery, the Secretary is making excellent progress and we are confident she will make a full recovery. She is in good spirits, engaging with her doctors, her family, and her staff.”

- Dr. Lisa Bardack, Mt. Kisco Medical Group, and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi, George Washington University

I can not tell you how pissed off I was when I started hearing about “The Immaculate Concussion” on Fox news in regards to Secretary of State Clinton. They’re trying to spin it as if she’s faking this shit just to get out of testifying. I can not tell you how incensed that makes me. Get over yourselves. A blood clot in the brain can cause death, and these pundits are making a joke of it, while waxing Nostalgic because Pres. Bush had a stroke and talking to the Oakley Boys about them calling the President.
