There's one women's cycling team in Afghanistan. Free-form traffic and open-mouth stares are just a couple of the things they encounter as they pedal the country's mountainous, potholed roads.

I normally keep silent but seeing the positive results I’m glad I did it, though it’s not my normal style. I didn’t want him to get away with it. I was tired of feeling ashamed or like a coward. I feel like that’s how most people feel – they keep silent. I just grabbed him.

Leviticus 20:13 states, 'If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, they shall surely put him to death.' I brought the first stone, Mr. Webb, in case that your Bible talk isn't just a smoke screen for personal prejudices.

The Brain Scoop: Where My Ladies At?

This was an incredibly difficult video for me to write and record. I haven’t been this uncomfortable or nervous about an episode since we decided to launch the Wolf series. I did it because I know my fellow female creators are with me: these comments are not easy to ignore, and they do have a negative impact on our desire to make videos and blaze trails.

Things can be said about women being more sensitive than men, or that men deal with these comments too, or that we should just accept that they’re going to happen.. but if I do, I’ll quit. If I accept that this is just part of the deal, this is what it is and always has been, it’s a requirement of my job to toughen up and barrel through, I won’t be able to continue. The remarks are enough to make me want to throw my hands up and retreat to a tiny cabin in the middle of nowhere. If the compromise is that I need to become desensitized, I would probably just do something else instead.

Let’s not create that kind of environment for our peers. Let’s be supportive, encouraging. Focus on the content, not the presenter. Ignoring the fact that these comments are uncomfortable is dismissive and counter-productive: let’s have less tolerance for both those comments, and the apathetic attitude attached to how they affect our community.

And, please: check out the women in the video description for more fantastic channels to subscribe to.

That's Alright - Laura Mvula

I will never be what you want and that’s alright, Cause my skin ain’t light and my body ain’t tight. And that’s alright. But if I might, I must stand and fight. I will never be what you want and that’s alright, I play my own damn tune, I shine like the moon. And very soon, I’ll soon fly over you. And what you gonna do when I fly over you? (Chorus) Tell me who made you the center of the universe? Who made you the center of the universe? Who made you the center of the universe? Who made you the center of the universe? (Verse) And every morning when I wake up I pray for you And then I pray for me that soon you’ll see How love can be, our love will set you free. And what it’s gonna be, I see the beauty in your eyes. (Chorus) Tell me who made you the center of the universe? (Who made you judge and jury over me?) Who made you the center of the universe? (Now leave me be.) Who made you the center of the universe? (Don't need no rules in my world.) Who made you the center of the universe?

(Verse) I will never be what you want and that’s alright, Cause my skin ain’t light and my body ain’t tight. I will never be what you want and that’s alright, Cause my skin ain’t light and that’s alright. (Chorus) Tell me who made you the center of the universe? (Who made you judge and jury over me?) Who made you the center of the universe? (Now leave me be.) Who made you the center of the universe? (Don't need no rules in my world.) Who made you the center of the universe?

Roxy’s recent advertisement for a surf competition features a 5-time World Champion surfer suggestively undressing without showing us her face, and never actually shows her surfing! This tells young girls it’s more important to be sexy than to be strong or a good surfer.

Don't tell thin women to eat a cheeseburger. Don't tell fat women to put down the fork. Don't tell underweight men to bulk up. Don't tell women with facial hair to wax, don't tell uncircumcised men they're gross, don't tell muscular women to go easy on the dead-lift, don't tell dark-skinned women to bleach their vaginas, don't tell black women to relax their hair, don't tell flat-chested women to get breast implants, don't tell "apple-shaped" women what's "flattering," don't tell mothers to hide their stretch marks, and don't tell people whose toes you don't approve of not to wear flip-flops. And so on, etc, etc, in every iteration until the mountains crumble to the sea.

Dear Jake Vale,

Today, I saw the videos you posted where you “pranked” teenage girls by running up behind them, grabbing them around the waist, and then running away with them while they were trying to get into VidCon. I’m one of the people who was instantly upset and disgusted by your behavior,...
