Out of fear that women might interfere with their concerns, men made up the theory that women had no business outside of the home. By doing so, they deprived women of their natural rights. Giving women duties without rights allowed men to live in idleness while condemning women to work. Keeping women at home allowed men to pursue education while women were trapped in ignorance. Isn’t this the greatest of injustices?

He-Yin Zhen, an anarchist and revolutionary during the early 1900s in China. She cofounded the journal Natural Justice with her husband, Liu Shipei, shortly after the couple fled China for Tokyo in 1907. It advocated for equal rights between the genders and an end to the traditional Confucian views on women. The publication went around the community of Chinese exiles, and was also smuggled back to mainland China.  (via historical-nonfiction)

It had to be done.

Net Neutrality

Net neutrality. I'm sure you've heard those powerful words before, but you may not know what they mean. Basically, net neutrality ensures that you have equal access to the internet, and that your service provider cannot make one site slower, or block a site all together. Without net neutrality, you'll be seeing a lot more loading signs and a lot less of what you want. Click the link below for more information, and to write a comment to the FCC about why net neutrality needs to stay! https://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutrality-what-you-need-know-now
