Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Rocks!

Thank you Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I live alone with my 15y old daughter and always tell her: "Don't become like me", it makes your life difficult and tiresom. Don't become as strong as I am, not as opinionated as I am. After reading these quotes ... Why not??!! Dear daughter, if you can handle it ... become strong, independent, opinionated and bad-ass your own way.

"Hey, here's a crazy idea: How about society stops teaching girls to be ashamed of their sexuality and who they are, and starts encouraging girls to be strong, opinionated, bad-ass individuals instead? Here, let Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie break it down for you in seven gifs."

The Invisible War

"5 years for drugs - 2 weeks for rape".

"THE INVISIBLE WAR is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of our country's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within our US military. Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire with the number of assaults in the last decade alone in the hundreds of thousands."

"A Gift From Rape Is A Gift From God"

Rick Santorum parody video 'Gifts From God' is hilarious!

What kind of woman supports Rick Santorum? We don't know, so we had to imagine. Every 7 minutes, a woman is raped. If this is some form of gift, Rick Santorum's God is a Secret Santa of questionable value indeed.
