Former ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Contestant: Media Reduce Women ‘Into Parts’



...Last week, Leah Darrow, an America’s Next Top Model contestant-turned-Catholic speaker, spoke at the 2018 Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation Global Summit. MRC Culture interviewed Darrow shortly before she appeared on a panel about sexual exploitation at the event, organized by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation....

There's a fundamental misperception that only women can effectively advocate for the issues that women care about or are touched by.



Signals that the Trump administration may disband the White House Council on Women and Girls have set off a new round of attacks against President Trump. But there's no malice in objectively assessing whether this office is needed to advance the concerns of girls and women, or to ask whether it's just a tool to advance a narrow set of issues and solutions.

Assessing the need for a Council on Women and Girls is in part about good stewardship. President Trump made it a priority for all federal agencies to conduct a top-to-bottom review — looking for areas of duplication and waste....

Women's issues too often get narrowly defined as paid leave and reproductive rights. All issues are women's issues and we are impacted by all policies, from infrastructure to tax reform and energy to technology. Looking at the council's track record under President Obama, we see an office that selectively promoted progressive policies to the neglect of the other roles that women face. Women are small business owners, employers, and students too....

Americans are tired of the politics of division which pit women against men and girls against boys. In a household, everyone is working for the family's benefit, not just for the girls or the boys. Why shouldn't we expect the same of our leaders?

“Stop calling yourself a ‘women entrepreneur’.”



...Here’s the reality: Your chromosomes have nothing to do with your ability to be successful as an entrepreneur.

I have never once thought of myself as a woman entrepreneur, a women investor, a women author or a woman anything. I am an entrepreneur or any of the other roles that I play, period -- without any qualifiers. And, as I told each woman that asked the question, so are they.

The constant segmentation of everyone by gender, race, age or other qualifier beyond their control does nothing but create self-doubt from those who have been categorized as well as others around them. Those things are out of each individual’s control and frankly have zero to do with determining their success. Preparedness, drive, perseverance, ability to learn from failure, ability to pivot, ability to delegate and a bunch of other qualities do determine success -- but labels do not.

The only difference between a male and a female entrepreneur is that the women are more likely to be doing business in an uncomfortable pair of shoes until the time when someone creates comfortable high heels, but that’s really a personal choice, too.... Read more, at the link.

Feminists Need To Know — Islam Kills Women



...Islam Kills Women is a joint effort between Sharia Watch UK and Examine-Islam.org It aims to do one thing and one thing only, show the world just why it is that women are treated so utterly appallingly in every Muslim society on earth....

Islam kills women not only physically – although of course it does – but it kills the spirit of far greater numbers. From birth, girls are degraded and humiliated, most often by their own mothers. These girls accept their status and then pass it on to their own daughters in an endless cycle of what can only be described as evil.

Often forced in to marriage, forced to live with domestic violence, and enslaved under a system of ‘honour’, life can be sheer misery for girls unfortunate enough to have been born in to Islam. To top it off, many will have their clitoris cut off so that sex will be painful and they can suffer the further humiliation of incontinence and other side-effects.

All of this, but all of it, is maintained and sustained and justified by Islam. That is a matter of fact....

Stoning to death sounds just too terrible to be true. It sounds like something from pre-history that couldn’t possibly be happening today, but it is – in one kind of society only, Islamic society. It is a punishment used almost exclusively on women accused of committing adultery. I say ‘accused’ because that is all it takes, she has no defence.....
