Angelina Jolie undergoes a double mastectomy after... →
With everyone still reeling from Angelina Jolie’s announcement of her double mastectomy, it’s worth pausing to give Angelina, the magnetic force of celebrity that has been firmly in the spotlight — whether it be because she wore a vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood or because she visited beleaguered flood victims in Pakistan — a round of applause.
Hollywood’s...

but what does it say about us

crispycheezefriez:
that men believe they are entitled to “mourn” angelina jolie’s double mastectomy? how are we defined when we believe we own a woman - simply because she is a public figure - enough to discuss her fears, genetics, body, and decisions.

What does this say about society then, and now?

I’m posting the entire article, simply because, last week I witnessed a pro-life protest in my hometown and was shocked to see the amount of people signing petitions to prevent abortion in Ireland simply upon hearing the pro-lifers chant ‘sign this petition to stop abortion and protect mothers and children.’ Many of the people who signed didn’t even ask for further...

Book Review: "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy →
A strong, violent and compelling narrative of westward expansion in 1800s America. McCarthy’s Blood Meridian largely follows the story of a Tennessee runaway referred to only as “the kid” as he embarks through the expanding west, eventually joining forces with sadistic scalp hunters, historically known as Glanton’s Gang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joel_Glanton), a...

How ‘Slut Shaming’ Has Been Written Into School... →
Last month, a New Jersey middle school banned girls from wearing strapless dresses to prom. Administrators claimed that the dresses were “distracting” — though they refused to specify exactly how or why. Parents reacted strongly to the rule; some supported the dress code while others deemed it “slut-shaming.” On Friday, the school compromised by allowing […]

Girls of Thrones: A Look at Strong Female... →
Like any good fantasy, I believe that it’s not just the magical world of dragons, White Walkers and fire priestesses that has people enthralled – it’s the complex cast of characters and how they navigate through the incredible world that has fans so eagerly awaiting the next book and TV season.

To Slut or Not to Slut: Should We Call Ourselves... →
Defined for so long as a negative term, some feminists choose to use the term “slut” as a word of strength and defiance in an act of ironic subversion. Instead of dismissing this word as something to fight and be ashamed of, those of this stance have “reclaimed” it for their feministic purposes.
