Who run the world?

GIRLS

I cannot stress this enough. This past year I have really become more aware of global issues regarding feminism  equal rights and justice in general. I've come to realise that the world is actually a horrible horrible place. I'm not going to rant about the thousand and one injustices I read about this week but I shall leave you with just one of the things that touched me this week. 

Tidal Wave Girls is a documentary short celebrating the educational and economic advancements women and girls have made in recent years thanks to everyday women.

Please watch it!

“You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn’t doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman’s looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she’s ugly, but everyone else thinks you’re an idiot.” -Hillary Clinton (my HERO)
