The idea is simple: Since men’s nipples are allowed, women can Photoshop men’s nipples over their own, which should make their topless pics technically acceptable. Hopefully this riles some feathers at Instagram, whose rules are bafflingly arbitrary at times.
According to the New York Times review of Go Set a Watchman, the man who once stood against the darkness of racism has attended a Klan meeting and talks about “Negroes” as second-class citizens. Expectedly, readers aren’t taking it well — but upon closer inspection this is actually a fascinating development.
Project Consent is a global campaign designed to battle sexual assault and rape culture by raising awareness, spreading education, and promoting consent. In the past year alone, Project Consent has: spoken with well known media figures on the impact of rape culture, worked with porn industries on incorporating consent in their videos, held community seminars to discuss consent, published various submissions from survivors, produced series of videos/photographs to invoke discussion, and more. Project Consent is an ongoing movement to shed light on sexual assault around the globe. You can find more information regarding our work and impact here.
Project Consent is also non-profit and funded by students. The staff at Project Consent are here by volunteer basis only because we believe in the work that we’re doing and all expenses are paid for out of our pockets. That being said, we would highly appreciate any sort of contribution in order to continue our work. All funding would go towards organizing events, hosting charges via website, shooting videos and photoshoots, and working with different communities to bring awareness around the world.
“Can I pull off a crop top?“ "If (and only if!) you have a flat stomach, feel free to try one.” When O magazine wrote that response they probably didn’t see the wave of outrage, viral hashtag and badass response coming their way. But that’s probably because they’re part of the problem with fashion advice.
Female students at a school in Staffordshire, England, were recently banned from wearing skirts because “they are distracting to male teachers and other pupils.” Trentham High School students in such “inappropriate” attire will be sent home if they don’t wear “business-like trousers.” Students haven’t protested the rule yet, but if they do, they’ll have plenty of examples to follow.
The word “cisgender” was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary, proving that it’s truly working its way into modern usage and will become commonplace terminology before too long.
The Oxford Dictionary (different from the OED) added the term cisgender in 2013, and in February 2014, Facebook included ten different cis- terms in its expanded gender-identity options. Yet people have been using cisgender for at least two decades. The Oxford Dictionary traces the evolution of the word to the ‘90s, and usage appears to go back to at least 1994, when a University of Minnesota biologist included the term in a post about a study on transphobia.
To be fair, the term was mostly confined to academic journals and online forums about gender issues until trans activist Julia Serano popularized it in her 2007 book, Whipping Girl. Serano says she started using the adjective after reading an essay by social-justice activist Emi Koyama, who wrote that terms like cisgender and cissexual are useful because “they de-centralize the dominant group, exposing it as merely one possible alternative rather than the ‘norm’ against which trans people are defined.”
Mozambique has decriminalised homosexuality. As a queer African this makes me extremely happy. I hope other African nations soon follow in their footsteps
