I woke up and read this story on CNN. It left me teary and angry. A young woman with opinions murdered by her own brother just for being a young woman with opinions. The waste, the loss... it’s hard to process. How does a society hope to thrive if it threatens half its members with murderous violence for the crime of

They’re committed as part of a patriarchal system.

So many honour killings are committed by mothers in law, sisters, aunts and mothers. This is a problem that goes way beyond a gender demographic. (How much easier it would be if it didn’t though....)
Feeling the hatred with you sister

So do I, most days. And I am one.

Fundamentalism, in all its forms, across religions and cultures both, is a poison. Fuck them all.

I hate men.

This woman is the exact embodiment of most of my nightmares since about 8th grade.

This woman just kept A LOT of women who were insecure about their bodies from setting foot in a gym. She has been valued for her looks for so long, she probably has no idea that she made real someone’s worst nightmare. Exercising in public when you have body image issues is hard enough. Thanks for making it so much

Let’s be honest. Most Americans can’t even speak English correctly and still criticize foreigners.

“Frank’s posted a plot-thickening, grammatically unfortunate statement.”

So people who disagree with police brutality do not deserve police protection? Way to demonstrate that “few bad apples" theory.

Hey, those cops are putting their lives on the line to protect their communities! They shouldn’t have to put up with reasonable demands to respect black people!

Don’t forget, women are the emotional ones!

And yet two women who killed a 2 year old baby boy got 23 and 24 years with no chance of parole respectively.

I’ve had some shitty managers over the years, including one who told a man who took the day off to take care of his sick daughter that he was selfish for letting down the (work) team, but this still sounds fake to me. The employee couldn’t possibly be more sympathetic, and the manager couldn’t be more comically evil

I couldn’t disagree more. Sexual assault exists whether there is alcohol or not. The entitlement of men over women’s bodies exists with or without alcohol. The second class status of women, the idea of women as possessions and objects, that is the basis of our abuse.

Right? I laughed at her “who says I’m white? Who says I support Trump?” Girl, I think it’s a pretty fair bet.

The most hilarious part of all this is that it’s like these Grey’s Anatomy fans don’t even know who Shonda Rhimes is. Like is Shonda really gonna fire Jesse Williams for speaking out about social justice?? That’s about as likely as Donald Trump saying something intelligent. Ain’t gonna happen.

Raise your hand if you feel personally attacked and victimized by Nigel Farage’s shoes.

Nuke who? The entire Muslim world?
