Imposing the veil in Libya and banning the import of "inappropriate" clothing.. Decisions of the Minister of Interior of the Government of National Unity raise controversy

The Minister of Interior of the Libyan Government of National Unity, Imad Trabelsi, announced the return of morality police patrols to work next month, adding that they will prevent inappropriate hair "fashion" and young men's clothing that does not conform to the culture and privacy of society. Trabelsi warned against women traveling without a male guardian, and banned mixing with men in cafes and public places, and said that whoever wants to live freely should go to live in Europe. Trabelsi's announcement sparked great controversy in the country and was criticized by many.

REBLOG with an historical event of female brutalization during WAR:

I’ll go first:

The Rape of Nanking in 1937-1938 saw widespread sexual violence against Chinese women as part of Japan's campaign to terrorize and break the city's population.

Japanese soldiers tortured and raped tens of thousands of women, including young girls and elderly women, in acts of systematic brutality meant to assert dominance and intimidate the Chinese people. It's estimated that 20,000 to 80,000 women were subjected to sexual violence, with many later murdered to prevent witnesses from surviving.

The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II was written by Iris Chang

Include references and resources, spread knowledge about historical events of the systemic abuse of women. Hopefully this inspires you all to research more thoroughly into such topics!

Hhhate it when people on my side of an argument are making bad points. You’re literally right why are you being stupid about it

Oh, Spanish, how I love you.

"faltaría más" / "no faltaba más"

to reject a proposition because it is absurd or inadmissible.

to express favourable disposition towards the fulfillment of a request.

So it's one expression with two different versions which mean the same. And they can mean either "fuck no", or "of course I will, don't sweat it" depending completely on the speaker's intention.

American women, I'm horrified for you.

Look, I'm an atheist but I love catholic-swearing in Spanish. "Por los clavos de Cristo" is such a hardcore expletive. You swear for the love of god, I swear for the nails on his son's flesh. We are not the same.

I will forever hate the fact that English doesn't have normal verbs to say "meter" y "sacar". Such basic, everyday actions. You straight up have to say a full sentence.

"sácalo" to the point, elegant and fullbodied - "get it out" ew ew ew i hate the verb get so much and how devoid of meaning it is and how you combine it with prepositions to make less interesting versions of every action.
