I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.

Why do men feel the need to compliment women and then apologize like they did something taboo? Say, "You look nice today," and leave it at that. You're the one making it creepy.

What's up with the angry feminist stereotype? How about a happy-go-lucky feminist prancing through a meadow without her bra while her man is at home watching the kids? It's about gender equality and making our own choices, not anger.

Now, the state's reproductive rights advocates are flipping the script and have opened Arkansas's first pro-choice "crisis pregnancy center.”

We need to remind ourselves of this.
Beauty adverts on IG are absolutely unhinged and awful. “You’re not ugly, you just have high cortisol.” “You’re not ugly, your live just sucks.” “You’re not ugly, you just need to buy this 500 dollar lotion that doesn’t work.“
You’re not ugly. Period. Hate that beauty ads want to open with that.

Who exactly decides if books are indecent or even *gasp* pornographic? I thought it was supposed to be based on the opinions of an average person and the whole of its value.
