Men's Rights: Campus Men's Rights Group Kicks, Screams(via @Jezebel)
http://jezebel.com/5844838/campus-mens-rights-group-kicks-screams“Students at Arizona State University have been noticing flyers for an organization called the Men’s Rights Movement Group. And the group’s website claims that ‘Women have NEVER been systematically oppressed.’ We talked to the MRMg’s president to find out what these collegiate men’s rights activists are all about.”
Women have NEVER been systematically oppressed? I’m laughing so hard I almost spat out my icecream.
Even the most misogynistic assholes I know IRL admit that women where at least abused/oppressed in the past even if they think it wasn’t mens fault and it’s all over now. How do people so stupid even exist?

http://thecharlatansdemise.tumblr.com/post/7005817745In fact, although FGM is illegal in Australia, Melbourne Royal Women’s Hospital see 600-700 young girls and women EVERY SINGLE YEAR due to serious complications from FGM. 600-700 girls who will have experience pain every time they urinate. 600-700 girls who will have complications every time they menstruate and be prone to infections and infertility. 600-700 girls who will not only never enjoy intimacy with their partners/husbands but will associate it with severe, humiliating pain. 600-700girls who will experience severe pain and danger for mother and child with each and every pregnancy. 600-700 girls who will have to live with the complications of FGM for the rest of their lives. 600-700 girls who actually get admitted to hospital, not including the girls who aren’t. 600-700 girls at one hospital in one city in one country. There are over 1,300 hospitals in Australia alone. Please girls (and boys) - …

Don’t be short changed campaign
The fact that women are still not being paid to the level that men are is ridiculous.
But this is such a great campaign video I am dying. Well done Australia. -
Women Raped, Tortured and Beaten at Clothing Factory in Jordan
http://www.care2.com/causes/women-raped-tortured-and-beaten-at-clothing-factory-in-jordan.htmlHave you ever shopped at Wal-Mart, Target, Macy’s, Kohl’s Lands’ End, or Hanes?
Chances are you probably have, but did you know you were supporting companies that rape, torture and beat thousands of women in their factories?
According to a report from the Institute of Global Labour and Human Rights, thousands of Southeast Asian young women working at the Classic Factory in Jordan, which manufactures clothing for some of the biggest brand names sold in the U.S., have been victims of repeated sexual and physical abuse.
- A six-month undercover investigation reveals horrifying findings:
- A standard shift is 13 hours a day, 6-7 days a week
- Women work over 18 hour shifts to finish clothing that must be shipped to the U.S.
- Some women only make 61 cents an hour
- Women are routinely cursed at, hit, and shortchanged of their wages
- Women are groped and fondled by managers to get them to work faster
- Women are repeatedly raped by upper management (one woman’s assailant, a manager, bit her entire body leaving scars)
- Women who refuse sexual advances are beaten and deported
- Women who become pregnant are forcibly returned to their home countries

I’m just so sick of having to constantly congratulate men for not being total misogynists.
feministfilm who is absolutely correct in arguing that, while it is great to see feminist men, it is tiring to have to spend so much time being impressed and congratulating something that should be done by common sense and nature. A.K.A. being “radical” enough to treat women as human beings and not some kind of sub-species of humanity. (via larosson)
