Viva la Revoltion!

Oh, Children's Place! What were you thinking, marketing this "back to school" shirt? 


Stop trying to put girls in some crazy box, where we can only like shopping, doing our hair, and glitter. We can like, and be good at, everything! And my inner teacher is screaming, "You can get better at math!"

The good news is, people voiced their concerns over the t-shirt to Children's Place...and they pulled the shirt off the shelves.



This type of action is what we should be doing - working together to improve the state of the world for women. I love it when I see groups of people working peacefully together toward a cause - any cause - because it reveals who we are as humans - passionate beings.

Thank you, Missoula!

Missoula is taking a step in the right direction when it comes to preventing sexual assault with its campaign called, "Make Your Move." The posters (see below) are clear, concise, get the point across, and most importantly, aren't cheesy (because cheesiness can detract from the message). We need this campaign throughout the country - not just in Missoula! The campaign has a website and a Facebook page - so they're working on getting the message out there. 







Thank you, Missoula! Hopefully other communities will follow suit!

Um, yes I can...

This darling hashtag is a newish thing going around on Twitter and Facebook and it's disgusting. C'mon now - we need to be standing up against this kind of drivel, even on the internet. If you don't understand why this is so offensive, take out the word "girlfriend" and replace it with any minority. Then you'll understand.
