Everyone loves Netflix every now and again! I can't wait to try and find some spare time after I finish The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu.  Watching these feminist masterpieces should be very, very enjoyable! All I have to do is find some free time!!

Consent and Rape in Nairobi

Girls in Nairobi are learning how to fight off rapists and boys are learning not to rape girls. Something like this needs to happen all over the world. Women need to learn to fight off rapists. What would make this even better, is if men learn to never force any female into anything that they do not want to do. It's really important that women have their freedom and do not be forced into activities that are not pleasing to them. Men forcing women into activities to only please men should not be allowed and legal anywhere.

Women's Maternity Leave Around the World

Since talking in class much about women's maternity leave. This Buzzfeed article talks about women's experience post-birth time with their babies and their job.
It is amazing to see the differences form the US and other countries around the world. It really shows how much work the US has to do for women who need to take care of their newborns.

Women's Protests throughout History

The Huffington Post made a compilation of photos throughout history of women while protesting for their rights. It is amazing to me that women in the 1970s were protesting their desire for equal positions and equal pay to men and this fight has now prolonged itself (with a minor change) to equal pay for the equal positions we now hold.

Victim Blaming Against Men

This is one of my favorite posts ever as it finally shows men what it is like to be blamed as a victim. Victim-blaming is unfortunately very common for women, especially in the situations of rape. I love seeing it go towards men, for once, to hopefully open people's eyes against blaming a victim, regardless of the situation.
