fastcompany: The Takeaway: Don’t let critics destroy a great idea. The three women behind the THINX, a fashionable underwear line designed for a woman’s menstrual cycle, wanted to launch an untested idea in a field dominated by corporate giants like Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, and Victoria’s Secret. After a few years of perseverance and research, THINX products are beginning to hit store shelves, and early sales have already eclipsed this year’s projections. Here’s the scoop.

Neil Gaiman: Rebloggable by request: Write People.

neil-gaiman:

Hi Mister Gaiman! I’m a young, 22 year old writer currently working on a novel that I intend to feature a strong, female lead; however, as a male, I often find myself out of my element. I was wondering if you had any suggestions—are there any books/authors you might recommend that you feel write…

“(Also, find out what the Bechdel test is. It is your friend.)” YESSSSSSSSS.

maura mcgovern: you know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts...

texturism:

you know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don’t make as much money as men do. i don’t understand that. why do we have to take a backseat?

i truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. and let’s face it: money gives men the power to run the show. it gives men the power to define value. they define what’s sexy. and men define what’s feminine. it’s ridiculous.
