Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
You Don't Have to Be Pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked "female". I'm not saying that you SHOULDN'T be pretty if you want to. (You don't owe UN-prettiness to feminism, in other words.) .... -Fran Lebowitz

Or as C.S. Lewis put it, "We read to know we are not alone."

Does anyone else think Pinterest needs an "activism" category? Repin if you agree!

If you assume there’s no afterlife, Stephen Fry says, you’ll likely have a fuller, more interesting life. “You can’t just there is a god because the world is beautiful. You have to account for bone cancer in children.”

“Until we stop assuming that women are bad if they have sex with someone they don’t know, don’t love, or aren’t married to, we will never be a modern democracy with equal protection under the law.” -Marianne Mollmann
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them up from your mind and hug them.

Aside from the fact that "A girl worth kissing is not easily kissed" makes a woman's value tied to her sexual experience, it also teaches that no does not really mean no, it means "keep trying." #feminist #feminism #rapeculture
Mrs. Ronzulli, an MEP from Italy, took her tiny daughter Victoria to a vote at Strasbourg. She kept her baby carefully cradled against her in a sling and occasionally leant to kiss her on the forehead. This is how we need to support working mothers and fathers. #Feminism

Meryl McKerrow First search definition turned me on all by itself. Definition of sapiosexuality :. (sā-pē-ō-sĕk-shü-ăl'ĭ-tē) 1. (n.) A behavior of becoming attracted to or aroused by intelligence and its use. Origins: From the Latin root sapien, wise or intelligent, and Latin sexualis, relating to the sexes. Example: Me? I don't care too much about the looks. I want an incisive, inquisitive, insightful, irreverent mind. I want someone for whom philosophical discussion is foreplay. I want someone who sometimes makes me go ouch due to their wit and evil sense of humor. I want someone that I can reach out and touch randomly. I want someone I can cuddle with. I decided this all means that I am sapiosexual.
"Feminazi": Because wanting your gender to be treated like human beings is just like invading Poland.

Brandy-Lyn Pahlke LOL no doubt!
" #Feminism is not a dirty word. It does not mean you hate men, it does not mean you hate girls that have nice legs and a tan, and it does not mean you are a bitch or a dyke, it means that you believe in equality." - Kate Nash. << Simple really!
Just like there are different types of Christians, there are different types of agnostics/atheists...
