Run faster.

Walk like you have back up. That’s what it means for men.

it genuinely took me a minute to realize this meant “walk sexy so they stare at your ass” and not “walk quickly and/or run because you’re in danger.” men are so fucking stupid and have zero conception of what being a woman in public is actually like lol

Every single woman who reads this immediately thinks, “Walk faster. Change directions. Surround yourself with people. Call your mom/sister/friend, tell her where you are, that you love her. Squeeze the keys between fingers tighter.” 

That quote is either a warning or a threat.

Oscar de la Renta marketing team lacks powerful women.

fucking this. my immediate reaction was clenching my fists, just reading this.

I swear all the color drained out of my cheeks just reading this, my shoulders tensed up, HELLO ADRENALINE.

so i’d be pretending i’m on the phone and dropping hints that i’m a judo instructor. IS THAT HOW I AM SUPPOSED TO WALK, OSCAR? BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I DO WHEN THREE MEN ARE FOLLOWING ME AT NIGHT

I ALSO START SPEED WALKING

GODDAMMIT OSCAR, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT’S LIKE BEING A WOMAN WALKING ALONE??? 

DO YOU ???

Literally did not even occur to me that this sign could mean anything other than a warning, until this post pointed out what it was actually supposed to mean. Jesus fucking christ.

complete lack of understanding of how situations like this are threatening on a daily basis for many, & presumption that satisfying the male gaze is our fucking purpose on earth

fuck this straight to hell

ok, totally get all of these replies, and if wiggling one’s ass was the original intent then this can go suck an egg, but i had a totally different reaction.

i read “walk like you have three men walking behind you” and thought “Donna Meagle“.

honestly, i saw this and immediately thought “me, walking ahead of 3 guys, all of whom are there to do my bidding.”

how strange.

i sincerely have no words.

just saw that nike dropped manny pacquiao. swift, decisive action in the face of his terrible remarks about gay people. i hope this type of corporate position and action only continues to grow as the norm in the face of homophobia.

Here’s what we tell women today: You not only can, but should have a career and children — because if you don’t, you’re basically a) lazy, b) weak, c) not a real woman. But also, you should do it without any support. Without government-paid maternity leave (what are you, a socialist?). Without too much childcare (because then you’re a shitty mom) or falling behind on the job (because then you’re a shitty employee — typical woman!). Without too much help from your husband (because then he’s a pussy).

Instead of changing the systems, we tell women to lean in. Because of course, it’s our fault for not taking initiative. Fuck you. I’m leaning so far in I’m falling flat on my face.

- my husband, on president’s day

given where i live, i regularly run into people who have been on the real housewives of orange county.

as we were eating at our new favorite restaurant last week i spotted the guy who married the housewife who’d been a playboy bunny. today it was the housewife who made those weird cuffs and went bankrupt, she apparently belongs to my health club. and i regularly see vicki (the only one i know by name) at our local italian joint.

what’s always weird to me about seeing these people is that for several minutes i can’t figure out how i know them. i watched the show when it originally aired, but we haven’t had broadcast tv for years.

so there’s always that period, the period before it dawns on me, where i’m trying to place how i know this person in my actual life. then when i realize i only know them from a reality tv show, i always feel like the biggest idiot.

Ai Weiwei has produced a five-column installation on the facade of Berlin’s Konzerthaus, a collection of 14,000 life vests from refugees who landed on the Greek Island of Lesbos after battling the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey. Ai hopes the bright orange installation draws attention to the hundreds of refugees that are trying to reach Europe each day, over 400 of whom have died attempting the same journey since the beginning of the year.

Although thousands of the life jackets can now be seen in Berlin, this does not begin to account for the thousands of jackets that remain on the shores of the Greek island, pointing to the number of refugees who have passed through the island. Since last December Ai has shared dozens of images of refugees who have come to Lesbos on his personal Instagram account, including this image of a mass of life vests left behind.

The temporary art installation was created for the Cinema for Peace gala which took place February 15, 2016. Ai was the honorary president of this year’s jury. (via Designboom)
