It sounded so ridiculous, I had to look it up. Yes this is a real thing.

“As she progresses through her career, your City Girl will accrue style points, continually decorating and upgrading apartments, expanding her wardrobe, and facing off with her friends in “Daily Look” fashion competitions!”

As far as I can tell, while there’s some element of career building in this game, points are scored through constant, conspicuous consumption.

And jesus christ, it’s a game for girls about SHOPPING and DECORATING. Can we just please not do this anymore??

“It seems like you’re making a statement, even when you’re not making a statement.”

Really interesting segment, and something our white followers should watch and consider how different body standards are for women of color.

The Jobs With The Biggest (And Smallest) Pay Gaps Between Men And Women →

fuckyeahfeminists:

For an equal wage: become a security guard, social worker or pharmacist. A field where women make more money than male counterparts: be a counselor or health technician. Female counselors make $1.02 for every male dollar and technicians make $1.03.

Here’s something interesting that I actually don’t find surprising:

One other detail worth noting: The jobs where the gap is biggest pay more, on average, than the jobs where the gap is lowest. The average weekly pay is $1,087 for jobs where the gap is biggest, and $773 for jobs where the gap is smallest.

I’m Ezra Miller, and I’m here with the One Billion Rising action in Times Square, joining many people all across the planet in a hope to end the rape culture. One in three women in the world will experience domestic violence or rape within the course of their lifetime. To me, I grew up in a household of women and I feel that all revolutionary causes should start with addressing misogyny.
