I’m not a Democrat or a Republican. What I’m against is the bullying coming from the right. Always from the right. Always. This is a flat-out attempt to ridicule the bullies and throw some light on the heroes. I've got lots to work with.
I don't own any of these images. The disdainful comments are all mine, however.
When women scream you wonder what’s wrong with them. When men yell you get afraid about what they’re going to do.
—A girl in my creative writing class said this in response to a story we read about witnessing intimate partner violence and it really fucked with my head because I’ve never, ever, ever, thought of it that way. (via girl-hair)

I’m sorry, last time I checked I go to college, not kindergarten. Time to go buy multiple copies of the book and distribute them around campus. Because I’m an annoying little fuck like that.
The detriments of parting your hair on the right
My hair is parted on the right…this is actually very accurate in my case.
Don’t hit at all if you can help it; don’t hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep.
Acid attack survivors fight back
Seventeen year old Neela is one of more than 2,700 victims of acid attacks in Bangladesh over the past 10 years. ‘My husband was angry…because he claimed a dowry but my family couldn’t provide one’, she says. ‘His plan was to sell me in Saudi Arabia - when I refused he threw acid on me and he fled.’
Nicolas Alexrod/ActionAidAcid is thrown in women’s faces or forced down their throats almost daily in Bangladesh. Such violence melts skin and bone, often resulting in blindness. The country has become a hotspot for acid attacks, mostly on women, because of land disputes, refused marriage proposals and domestic quarrels.A woman’s face is seen as sacred; to permanently scar it brings dishonour on her family and is a public mark of shame. It makes it hard for a woman to get married or gain employment and she becomes a financial and social burden on her family.Stories like these make me uncomfortable to even “like” it for my records. (Wish tumblr had a more neutral icon.)
Anyways, it goes without saying that this is entirely fucked up. I’m a rather peaceful person - generally - but if I caught some guy who did this to someone, I’d go medieval on his ass.
According to CARE, Bangladesh has the distinction of treating its women worse than any other country in the word
