I was just thinking of the places we spend the most time! Time to just stay home.

Ohio’s house just passed a law that would permit people to concealed carry in day care centers, so...

Don’t forget: Movie theaters, restaurants, sporting events and healthcare clinics.

That is exactly the logic being used to encourage people to arm themselves with more guns!

Guns + More guns(guns)= Safety?

The problem is the collective is in wild disagreement over the solution. And they elected people that agree with no solution.

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this way. My husband is a university professor and I have a 3rd grader. I figure the toddler is safe with the nanny but I worry not infrequently about my husband and daughter - oh yeah, did I mention we live in Texas? At my daughter’s 8 year well child visit her ped said we needed…

So here’s a thought, we live in a society that lets people own bears right? And ANYONE can get a bear easily and cheaply. I understand that some people can safely own bears, but keeping bears around kids and people who don’t know how to care for bears is a bad idea. However people keep saying that our violent bear…

Yeah, I’m not looking forward to my tot going to elementary school for this exact reason.

At what point does the collective say:
“You know what, maybe there are just WAY to many f*cking guns floating around out there and it’s time do something about it!”

Every day the members of my family are at these places: college campus, church, elementary school, and daycare. Haven’t heard much about day care mass shootings, so I guess my 2 year old will survive.

What exactly is raising awareness supposed to do? It reminds me of the pink campaign about breast cancer - if you don’t support women getting mammograms or come with instructions on how to do a breast self exam then who cares that you are “aware”? So I’m aware...now what? Point to some action like volunteering at a…

#StopViolenceAgainstWomenByAppropriatingImagesWithoutConsent

I think the idea of using photos of women unwillingly to push your narrative can also be exploitative and destructive, thus this seems very ugly to me.

So we fight abuse by casting women, without their consent, as victims of abuse? Sounds about the level of disconnect this culture is serving up these days.

There are a lot of very real and rational reasons women experiencing intimate partner violence are silent about it—primarily because they fear for their lives. So by putting the onus on women in active abuse situations to speak up he is essentially blaming them for their own victimization.

The other thing that’s dumb (I don’t use that word casually. I mean this is campaign is truly stupid and unthoughtful) is that it makes the “face of domestic violence victims” into black eyes and split lips. Domestic violence doesn’t always look like that. Like the idea that “anyone can be a victim of DV!” is directly…

There are ACTUAL photos of Rihanna, and Chris Brown still gets to work.

not to mention really BAD photoshop. jesus christ.

The Disney princess project I can get behind, but when it is images of real women that are photoshopped like this, it is absolutely disrespectful and exploitative.
