Feminine faces, as well as bodies, are trained to the expression of deference. Under male scrutiny, women will avert their eyes or cast them downward; the female gaze is trained to abandon its claim to the sovereign status of seer. The “nice” girl learns to avoid the bold and unfettered staring of the “loose” woman, who looks at whatever and whomever she pleases. Women are trained to smile more than men, too. In the economy of smiles, as elsewhere, there is evidence that women are exploited, for they give more than they receive in return; in a smile-elicitation study, one researcher found that the rate of smile return by women was 93 percent, by men only 67 percent. In many typical women’s jobs, graciousness, deference, and the readiness to serve are part of the work; this requires the worker to fix a smile on her face for a good part of the working day, whatever her inner state. The economy of touching is out of balance, too: men touch women more often and on more parts of the body than women touch men: female secretaries, factory workers, and waitresses report that such liberties are taken routinely with their bodies.

Saudi Arabia’s king appoints women to advisory council for 1st time
Bloomberg News: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has appointed female members to the Consultative Council for the first time, naming 30 women to the 150-member advisory body.
The appointments, reported by the official Saudi Press Agency, came after Abdullah issued a decree requiring at least 20 percent of members should be women. It says they must observe Islamic law and be properly covered, and will enjoy full rights in the council, have a separate entrance to the chamber and sit in a special section apart from men.Photo: King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud of Saudi Arabia (Hassan Ammar / AP, file)
Lita is one of the greatest wrestlers period.
Love the second gif.
Kid Nobi wanted to be Lita so bad.
Who is that dude and why has he never watched wrestling outside the WWE?
Fuck dude, half the wrestling moves you can’t do in the WWE were invented by women.
But women’s wrestling ain’t on shit doe????
This is why I fucking hate the WWE so much for watering down women’s wrestling to the point that it is a damn joke in the US, hiring weak ass models who can’t run the ropes worth shit.
That’s because they want their female wrestlers to be eye candy and not well, wrestlers. Hell, even CM Punk has complained about it.
Which sucks so fucking much, because they ARE the most commonly known wrestling organization INTERNATIONALLY.
So when they have shitty ass women wrestling, folks think that is a reflection for ALL women’s wrestling.
It makes me so damn mad…
Holy fuck that is so hot.
Reblogging again because the second gif is still so fucking awesome.

Half Drag, an amazing series of photographs showing us the before and after of burlesque and drag queen performers from photographer Leland Bobbé.
Can we just appreciate the fact that this is the first Olympics where every country has allowed female athletes to compete like that’s really amazing
