Hmm. I'm not quite sure, but it sounds like there is a bit of confusion between Voodoo (or Vodun) and Hoodo, which seems to be the issue here. Vodun is a religious system that emphasizes the spirituality and mystical nature of the world. What most people think of when they think of Voodoo - the dolls, the…

wow!

Wow, hyperbole much? Also, by that logic, people should stop telling Lena Dunham to diversify the cast of Girls, and the racists who complained about Rue and Cinna being black in the Hunger Games were totally justified.

Oh, damn, there must be an twig in my eye, cause I'm totally tearing up. It is really awesome to see a major comic book company creating a First Nations superheroine and to engage kids from within the community, that's even better. I really hope that the end result honors Shannen Koostachin and does justice to the…

I'll prepare the militarized bass...

You know what is happening here, don't you? Robin Thicke is on his third reinvention of Robin Thicke. He originally came out as a talented, hipster with long hair and good pipes, singing stripped down R&B. Never made it beyond the video countdown on VH1. Thicke then comes out as a soulful crooner with his love song to…

Same here. My husband looks like a freaking super model and every one is constantly letting me know. Me, on the other hand? Eh. . alright but by no means "a super model". . . or any kind of model. I asked him out, spent the night, and eleven years later we're still happily married. All of my girlfriends at the time-…

Her bigness of character to turn around and try to humanize them is really what gets me here. I realized when I first read about this how little I actually look at the catcallers - often they're driving by, or by the time they start catcalling I'm mostly already past them and I don't turn around to look at them. I…

NPR did a more in-depth article and interview with Ms. Price, which states that she doesn't like the title "My Harassers" that The Morning News gives the series of photos. It's a really interesting interview; the parts that were the most thought-provoking to me were that she asks the men if she can take their photo…

There's a certain way around the neighborhood I specifically avoid in the mornings when I walk my dog because the church has a soup line that usually results in the sidewalk being crowded with men at 7 in the morning. Once I mentioned to my husband "Oh, I don't go that way in the morning", and he was puzzled. "Oh,…

Actually, your characterization of rapists is inaccurate. The majority of rapes are committed by friends and acquaintances, but it is neither because "they can't help it" nor because they just can't tell they're committing rape. This blog post draws from two scientific studies of self-reported rapes by rapists. It…

Depends on the guy and/or your relationship with them. I had a group of guy friends I've known for 5 years that invited me to a party last tear. I got suuuper trashed and one of their friends (but not one of mine) offered to let me sleep in his bed since I couldn't drive home (I'm in my early 20s and extremely naive…

Chills. Like whole body goosebumps chills. That mockingjay dress is THE TRUTH.

Harry Styles... is not interested in Rosie. If you want to fall down an internet hole reading about THE GREATEST LOVE STORY OF OUR TIME please check out these tumblrs:

I also had many male friends and spent a lot of time alone and inebriated with them. These boys were always respectful and lovely, like brothers, even though there was some sexual tension (we were teenagers, I was cute, they were sorta awkward with most other girls until our late teens... which meant I had the honor…

Yes! I'm planning on watching this (although I'll probably have to download it or something since I'm in the EU) because it's just so compelling, this need to find out where you come from, who your family is (even if it's only a biological link and not an emotional one). Even though I am not adopted/donated…

Me too. I want to go give all of them a hug for for ...not being rapists.

I just do not understand why it is so different. I was a total intelligent/degenerate in my time. It was the 90s. All of my friends were boys - I'm still friends with them all. What in the holy fuck has happened that boys think it's okay to take advantage of comprised girls?! Why the sea change?

I can not tell you how many teenage boys I got wasted with in High School. Most were my friends, none of them behaved badly. Many of them probably had a secret crush on me. Maybe having male friends was a blessing. I always felt safe around them. What is going on with boys today? Or have things always been this way?
Whe…

None of this would have happened if those boys didn't rape them. The end.
