Some Cambridge University students let a fellow student and a rape apologist know that, actually, rape IS 100% the rapists’ fault. (You can check out his totallty offensive piece on page 14 of this March edition of the University’s newspaper.)

A Massachusetts teen has now been ordered that she has to share custody of her baby with her rapist who fathered the child. As part of that paternity, he doesn’t receive jailtime so he can pay child support. Said the teen’s lawyer, “”All this family wants is to cut the cord. Get the rapist out of their lives.  And if the judge wants to help them financially that’s great. But let’s call it  restitution, not child support.”

Rush Limbaugh wants “feminazis” to know that they’re causing the average man’s penis to shrink. Sorry, Rush - we were trying to cut down the patriarchy, but your penis got in the way.

Last, but certainly not least, Laura is sick of everyday sexism – and she’s started the Everyday Sexism project to help other women learn, share, and fight back against this widespread, totally normal phenomenon. “I wanted women to know that sexism isn’t a guilty secret, because they aren’t to blame and they didn’t have to keep quiet about it.”

What did we miss?

We actively denounce the notion that street harassment is culturally accepted and that victims somehow "deserve" it. Through raising awareness and sharing experiences, we hope to put an end to catcalling, groping, stalking, public masturbation, assaults, racial slurs, and other forms of street harassment. Because we believe we have the power to create a world where we can feel hot, confident, and badass, while still feeling safe!
