You can't be feminist without including some of the most vulnerable women in society

When something great happens in your life how do you celebrate?

Here are a few things I do:

• buy a bouquet of flowers for my partner
• go to a nice restaurant
• bake or cook something special, esp. a sweet treat like cake, cookies, etc.

They often do general token things like "hire women"

I like a loose pair of elastic pajama pants. When my tshirts get too ratty for regular wear, they enter the pajama rotation. I hate being naked because I am clumsy, and the thought of my skin scraping the doorframe as I walk by is heinous.

Also cannot stand being in pajamas all day. Unless I'm really sick, I need to put on day clothes for at least a few hours or it'll trigger depression.

Dealt with something at work well? Hilarious moment with a friend? Found a great eyeshadow? Whatever it is, share it below!:

A type of job? A way you've dealt with something? Food? Tell us below!

I had one inserted 10 odd years ago, and the ladies(!) who did it had zero sympathy and wouldn't even give me Tylenol. I had to take it out 2 days later. Never again.

Doesn't matter if it's big or small anything you're looking forward to matters

From a UN Development Programme statement:

In 62 countries, consensual same-sex sexual relations between adults in private are criminalized, with 12 of these countries even imposing the death penalty for such relations.

Theresa Garnett (1888 - 1966)

Thu May 17, 1888

Theresa Garnett, born on this day in 1888, was a militant British suffragette whose acts of feminist rebellion included assaulting Winston Churchill with a whip, shouting "Take that in the name of the insulted women of England!"

Garnett was born in Leeds on May 17th, 1888. In 1907, she joined the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) after being inspired by a speech given by the feminist and later co-founder of the Australian Communist Party Adela Pankhurst.

The WSPU fought for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom and was noted for its use of direct action. Its members heckled politicians, held demonstrations and marches, broke the law to force arrests, broke windows in prominent buildings, set fire to post boxes, committed night-time arson of unoccupied houses and churches, and, when imprisoned, went on hunger strike and endured physically traumatizing force-feeding.

Garnett participated in several of these actions as a young adult, chaining herself in 1909, along with four other activists, to a statue in Parliament in protest of a law meant to prohibit disorderly conduct while Parliament was in session.

On November 14th, 1909, Garnett assaulted Winston Churchill, who instituted policies of force feeding suffragettes in prison, with a whip, striking him several times while shouting "Take that in the name of the insulted women of England!"

Women still do the bulk of household chores, management, raising kids and the mental load of it all. When cohabiting, how have you shared them, and how did it effect you?

How do you guys decide on what size clothing to buy when you're shopping online.

There are a few online-only stores I'd like to try, but they don't have free returns.

We often find it hard to allow ourselves good things, or think we're not worthy of them. But we do deserve them!

Instead of thinking of reasons we don't deserve things, lets think differently. Why do you deserve good things?

Most of us have celebs that make our skin crawl and we suspect will end up being accused of terrible things. What are yours?

That you're willing to share? I have made damn near every pancake recipe I could find in the internet and none of them were really fantastic. I don't know what's missing. They just seem... blah?

I'm looking for a fantastic, basic as hell pancake recipe. If you have one. And you're willing to share.

I will repay the entire internet in like... a week when I make the strawberry/watermelon jam-filled cupcakes.

It's Friday! This week's game is simple. Reply making a comment about the person below you, the user that replies saying if its true then makes the next statement.

So for example... Person1: the person below me likes cheese! Person2: yes I do it's delicious! The person below me has a pet iguana

Don't watch this video if you're emotionally fragile right now. This is not a story with a happy ending. But it leads to an important message for anybody who sees any tiny bit of themselves in Christine:

My sisters, you can't "fix" him. If he needs fixing, you need to get away quickly. Because he can't be "fixed".
