Harvey Weinstein caused #metoo?

Did you hear? He paid more than 330k to hush it all. Years ago.

The director's couch. Everyone know what this phrase means: Fame always comes with a price. If you are a woman who wants to stand on the stage, everyone seemed to know and accept that you might do things which you probably did not liked.

Fame. 


Actresses. Celebrities. Women in showbiz. We all knew that men in certain positions will play some cards. Only because they can. Suddenly we are starting to realize what is going on. And the hipocrates are disgusted, that this has to be stopped. They are acting like this is a surprise.  It is not. The stories which are coming to light happened decades ago!

Terry Richardson got banned from the biggest magazines. 


Thanks to this scandal,  the powerful people up "there" are acting fast. It is like the trend, not to publish anorexic girls anymore, so  they quickly made Ashley Graham cover all the magazines. They are banning Richardson. Hell yea the man is a cockroach. Come on people, given a man who is looking like a perv, with a pornstache and everything. Also there is a bunch of claims from different modells, that he did give some nasty offers.

So, why do people realize only now, that something went terribly wrong?

Also, when the infamous Kardashian girl did the sextape, and everything and everyone was suddenly interested in her... were we not feeding this monster? All those ads, where the woman body was used to commercialize products, because sex sells... were we not part of this?

If a woman is wearing a short skirt, she is going out, and got raped, it is truly her fault? A pretty woman should be hiding? A woman should feel dirty, and ashamed of her clothing choice if some jerk grabs on her behind on the tram?
Because in this case the Islamic State is our hero. The hero what we might not "deserve" but what we "need". To cover up, and to repress the watchful eyes of sex offenders. I got sick even from the idea.... But I am afraid even that won't stop it.

I got more.

Recently, I read an article regarding this sexual assault matter. I dared to looked in the comment section. Why? I was interested, what does the average think. The article got 297 comments in a short time. Mostly from women. This article was posted by a conservative journal's Facebook site. Only a few stood up and defend the victims (this is a similar but not the Harvey story). The rest of the comments were filled with rage and judgement. Towards the victims. Because they could not imagine a situation where a man says to hold his penis, and they feel like, there is no other options. At the same time the domestic violence is also an everyday issue. Wifes got beaten up, and husbands got humiliated (yes, it is not just against women). Children cry as they can not trust in their parents, and have no idea what is going on.

But comments under a sexual assault seem to have no idea what does this look like. How does it feel like when someone touches you against your will.

So I am asking you, dearest Reader, to sit down, and do not judge. You have the power to select. Select: news to read, celebrities to follow, opninons, acts towards your friends, how to behave.
We are poweful.
We have started something.

Realization is great thing. Let's find a solution. Starting with those nasty situations.

What is this Wine Overhype?

Image
I cannot be the only one that thinks social media overhypes wine consumption. I am an adult, in the age that I can legally drink, and wine IS my to go to drink if I decide I want to have something with a little bit of alcohol in it. So I do appreciate wine, but there is just so many memes about drinking it that I feel like we are promoting alcoholism. Because opening a bottle of wine and consuming the whole thing alone at 2 p.m. is kind of a sign of alcoholism in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with having a glass or two at dinner, especially if you have something to celebrate. Just reading these   kind of made me think of the whole thing. And of course Buzzfeed is the biggest advocate of the movement by posting memes , tweets , comparisons  (which are the only appropriate articles in the matter in my opinion), " cheat sheets "(this one is actually useful), wine facts , wine tests , wine " exercises " (featuring the biggest wine fan who has influential voic...

Public Breast Feeding - Why Should you?

Image
Obviously, all babies - just like all humans - need to eat. However I believe flopping out a breast in public and shoving it in the little human's mouth is not entirely the best solution. I am not saying you shouldn't breastfeed in public. I am not saying you should rather bottle feed in public. I am saying you shouldn't breastfeed PUBLICLY. This lovely woman here is following nature's course, however she could do it by finding a quite bench and giving the child the proper attention and care and love, but instead she connects it like a charger to her phone and walks around unbothered. Those two women in the back, while obviously should mind their own business somewhere I agree with them. Because breastfeeding should be intimate, and should be about having a moment with your child. Food is not just food for a baby. It is a time of true connection with the mother. But lately we have ignored this. Breastfeeding became a task, something that needs to be done, ...

Not all that glitters....

Image
This is just a quick heads up. The topic is:  Which we have adapted into EVERYTHING lately. Cups, shoes, plates, bowls, makeup, hair gels, body paint, toys, even we started eating it - its on cakes, in drinks, on top of muffins and cupcakes... But despite the label "safe to eat" it isn't really. It is supposed to pass through our digestive system without any harm, however it is only passed the FSA test if it says "food contact glitter" - this product is usually just coloured sugar. The actual glitter that are on top of food can be "non-toxic" which is literally just won't kill you nor harm you in any serious way, however is not advised that you eat vast amounts of it, and can be "for removable decorations" which you should avoid eating for the reason that it is just for decorating purposes - you won't eat the candles either. It is probably just my discomfort with this topic, because I am a kind of person who is baffled...
