This is from the slut walk. One of the arguments is that girls ask for rape because they wear slutty clothes, short skirts, tight, low-cut tops. This girl is an example of the fact that rape victims can look like anyone, you, me, this girl. Rapists. Dont. Discriminate.

I promised a long time ago that I’d reblog this whenever I saw it on my dash. No regrets, it breaks my heart every single time.

an incredibly important message, rape is rape. no one is ever asking for it. a woman has the right to dress how ever they want - it is society that identifies risque dressing as ‘asking for it’, and in my opinion, that way of thinking needs to be diminished.

people need to stop spending so much time on the victims and start these boys how to treat girls. you cant just go and rape them. that makes you weak. you have to force someone to have sex with you , what does that say about you ?

I reblog this every time too. this is my third reblog I think.

always a reblog


Promised myself I would never, not reblog this.

I will forever reblog this beautiful little baby. He’s such a cute little Himba boy.

I love that you have the Himba women, I believe, on your blog even though their hair is not red, but the clay. That’s really nice. Btw, I have an absolute love of red heads, especially Joan from Mad Men, she and Jessica Rabbit are amazing lol.

<3 It’s so great when non-gingers appreciate redheads!! <3 The Himba hairstyles are amazing, and I love that they see the red color on their hair as beautiful. Joan and Jessica are definitely amazing too :)

The Himba wear little clothing, but the women are famous for covering themselves with otjize, a mixture of butter fat and ochre. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. This symbolizes earth’s rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life, and is consistent with the Himba ideal of beauty.

fucking awesome
