Isn’t H & M the epitome of throw-away fashion? Their stuff is slave-labor ephemeral junk that can’t even be recycled as clothing should. If you want to help the environment, stop buying fall-apart sweatshop trend garments and invest in clothing that lasts well, for you or someone else to wear for years to come.

A chance to put up my favorite historical picture of her: mid-to-late 50s, both her and her late husband had just started their legal careers, the little girl is now a professor of law at Columbia.

I have a ton of their clothes because they’re well made, last forever, fit well, and are appropriate for work. I don’t hate myself. I do have a job that requires me to have a reasonable business casual wardrobe and I don’t want to spend my life hunting down khakis and cardigans, especially when I can just order a new…

My parents did not teach me to beat people up for crying out loud. They and my judo instructors taught me physical confidence and self-defense. I’ve never struck a person in my life besides a stranger who grabbed me by the throat while I was walking alone, dragged me into the bushes and raped me. There is absolutely…

And as we’ve seen over and over in so many woman-centric arenas—sexual assault prevention foremost among them—the impulse to protect is very different from the impulse to ensure equity, and the two things, worked out in practice, are often exactly at odds.

Yo, I’m pro-Bernie and even *I’m* embarrassed for you. Stop. Just stop.

OH MY GOD DO YOU GUYS EVER TAKE A BREAK, GO READ A BOOK AND HAVE A CUP OF TEA AND DO SOME SUDOKU OR SOMETHING

The solution is to bring back debtors prisons and workhouses, duh.

I think my favorite moment was from the 2012 campaign when Romney tried to come at Obama about the lack of ships in our Navy in comparison to 1916 and Obama went "we also have less horses and bayonets" He's clever as hell honestly.

I cannot wait for her to go far. I’m so glad she has made such strides with her hiring practices. Also when her show starts winning awards for being quality I hope other shows pick up the same ideas.

Remember folks, if you have to wait even an hour for a device whose sole purpose is to kill other living things, then the terrorists win.

I fucking love Brit Brit. I will forever. But this is some “annoying crazy aunt on fb” kinda shit and I’m not sure if I fucking love her more for it or what.

She is one of, if not the, most important activist and academic of the last half century. Are Prisons Obsolete? should be required reading in every high school and for anybody employed by the prison industrial complex.

Oh, homie. You need a hug. *whispering* She’s not...exactly my thing either. I respect what she’s up to but her books are very political and fairly talky.

guys this is really old news

there is a big difference between sex-negative and rape-simulation-negative feminism. i think BDSM is great for consenting adults. i find the need to simulate rape skeevy.

Honestly, I just really don’t give a shit about men in this regard, not anymore. My concern is with the welfare of women, and how these things effect the individual women involved AND how they contribute to a climate of violence towards all women. I’ve seen too many men exploit and abuse the idea of kink-shaming and…

Please remember that a lot of rape cases happen in the BDSM community, and lots of men get away scott free because they claim it was consensual and part of role play. We have seen that play out in the news multiple times. It’s a touchy subject, but we can’t ignore hard truths.
