These 5 detained Chinese women are the next Pussy Riot 

Zheng Churan. Wang Man. Wu Rongrong. Wei Tingting. Li Maizi.

These are the five Chinese women, ages 25 to 33, whom the Chinese government have detained on charges of “picking quarrels and provoking troubles,” the New York Times reports. That’s shorthand for being feminist activists and shaking up the status quo. And they’re using powerful public displays to do it.

MY LIFE WAS SO INCOMPLETE BEFORE THIS EPISODE

A scene with three women of color including one massively influential and accomplished transwoman in a TV show about a woman of color who is well-educated, intelligent, and successful. Love it.

“Oppressed” Muslim Women 

This images are so important because when people (esp. people who identify vocally as feminists) say that the veil prevents women from doing things, that it is an instrument of oppression, we make that veil an instrument of oppression. Islam does not say that veiled women cannot be pilots or doctors or teachers. Bad feminists do. Islamaphobes do.

Thank you.

I love this so much.

A Jihadist extremist told this female Lebanese news anchor to shut up, so she cut off his microphone.

Karaki was interviewing Hani Al-Seba’i about the phenomenon of Christians joining Islamic groups like ISIS. Al-Seba’i is a Sunni scholar who fled to London after he was sentenced in an Egyptian court to 15 years in prison for being a part of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The United Nations considers the group to be an affiliate of al Qaeda.

But despite Al-Seba’i’s extreme ties, Karaki didn’t back down when he disrespected her on Al-Jadeed TV after she politely tried to redirect his historical tangent. Instead of taking his guff, she cut off his microphone when she decided she’d had enough.
