索菲亚

That zit on your cheek literally does not matter

Skipping class one time will not ruin your entire life

The boy you’re trying so hard to impress will mean nothing to you in a year

Bring coffee to school and ignore people who make fun of it

Bring a snack, too. Don’t care if people hear you eating in class.

Being popular isn’t and will never be something that seriously defines who you are

Appreciate your teachers

Doing/not doing drugs doesn’t make you cooler than anyone else.

Neither does drinking

Talk to the kid sitting alone; even though it may not change your life it could drastically change theirs

Participate in school events

Wear sweatpants everyday

Or wear a dress everyday

Wear whatever makes you comfortable

Nobody will laugh at you if you sit alone at your lunch table for five minutes

Utilize the library

Don’t wait 20 minutes to text someone back just to seem cool

Tell your friends how much you love them

Cherish your free textbooks… seriously

Help confused freshmen, be nice to them. Remember how much you would have appreciated it a couple years ago

Compliment the other girls in the bathroom

That fight you had with your mom really isn’t that big of a deal

It’s okay to cry

Don’t let your desire for a romantic relationship stop you from forming platonic relationships

Remember that life does go on

The biggest shock of Paris’s spring-summer 2014 fashion shows came on the otherwise calm and gentle Nina Ricci catwalk, when two topless activists from protest group Femen crashed the podium.

Grabbing a startled model making her way down the catwalk, they screamed “fashion fascism,” with words decrying the sexualization of the modeling industry written in make-up. One had “Fashion dictaterror” scrawled on her naked torso, the other “Model don’t go to brothel.”

One British model, Liverpool-born Hollie-May Saker, was caught in the middle, with the protesters brushing against her lamé-and-lace skirt.

“The next thing I just see half-naked women with black marker pen scrawled across their bare chests and that’s when she came at me….As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt exposing me – I pulled my arm back with such force that I landed a punch square on her nose,” Saker told the Echo. (Photo: AP Photo/Jacques Brinon)

So, to fight back against the sexualization of the modeling industry, these women assaulted a model and forcibly exposed her?

Protip: You’re not fighting a patriarchal system by assaulting women and exposing them against their will.

I have literally never heard of a positive thing done by Femen.  Seriously.  They need to stop.  First the blatant Islamophobia, and now this?  Really?

If your idea of feminism includes racist bullshit and attacking women who don’t conform to your exact image of a feminist, guess what?  You’re a complete asshole and you’re misrepresenting feminism as a whole.

I *hate* Femen. Literally they are the reason feminism is viewed in a bad light. They’re the West Borough Baptist of feminism and I can’t stand it.

Ugh ugh ugh ugh. The fashion industry is absolutely plagued with shit  but the models themselves are not the problem.  Those women are professionals just trying to do their jobs.  Jobs that they are often (shockingly) underpaid and under-protected for.  The last thing they need to worry about are women seemingly ‘supporting’ them against sexualization by physically exposing them.  Not only that, but Nina Ricci is hardly a designer who is exploiting women’s sexuality.  Your idea of feminism is detracting from a woman’s art and livelihood by showboating?  Femen can just go away.

Women attacking women for the sake of women.

Well done.

Not.

they did it because they’re leader (a man) told them to which makes it even worse.
