Anime from the 80’s, people. Oddly relevant today.
While leaders across the country refuse to accept Syrian refugees, insisting they pose an unacceptable security risk, homegrown domestic extremists have been doing a pretty good job of terrorizing their fellow Americans with guns, explosives and threats of large-scale attacks. In addition to these, we can’t leave off the shooting in Minneapolis.

Why I'm a feminist.
I have a firm belief that women shouldn't be equal to men, they should be the dominant gender because they are not equal to men. There are much much higher beings who have the ability to bring life into this plane of existence. They have an unsurpassed ability I understand and feel emotions more so then most guys so when they don't feel well they can turn to women to make them feel better, that's one reason men should treat women better. Maybe one of the reasons that there's so much depression and sadness in this world is because men don't respect women like they used to. There was a time where women were on top, when they were regarded as priestesses having a link between this world and the next and were worshiped but a few weak willed men figured out that they could overpower women physically and they began to put them down and make them feel like crap, this went on for centuries. Men need to admit they gave it a good run but look at the world. Maybe it isn't the governments' fault, maybe it isn't the peoples' fault. Maybe it's mans' fault, let's give women a shot. I bet they'll do a waaay better job at it.

American textbooks have plenty of blind spots, but Belissa Escobedo, Rhiannon McGavin and Zariya Allen offer a wide-ranging view of our country in their powerful slam poem, “Somewhere Else in America.” And it’s not a pretty picture.
The teen spoken-word poets are members of the Get Lit organization, a nonprofit that uses spoken word to improve literacy rates in Los Angeles, where 40 percent of teens won’t graduate high school.
Watch this. I emplore you.

ShameOver: It’s Time To Talk About Men’s Mental Health
In our culture, men are expected to be “strong” or “tough.” We regard the expression of feelings as a weakness. Look no further than the Webster’s Dictionary definition of “man,” which uses this as an exemplary sentence: “Don’t cry, little boy: be a man!”
Given this climate, it’s no surprise that when it comes to mental illness – and health issues tied to our emotions – men are encouraged to remain stoic, to their great detriment.
More than 6 million men in America suffer from depression each year, a condition that’s very manageable with the right kind of treatment. Yet studies continually show that men are averse to receiving that treatment.
According to the World Health Organization, there’s even a gender bias when it comes to diagnosing psychological disorders. Doctors are more likely to diagnose women with depression than men, even when they have similar symptoms or score the same on standardized measures of the disorder.

On May 20, about 100 stock analysts gathered in the ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Brunswick, New Jersey, to hear good news from top executives at Johnson & Johnson: The company had 10 new drugs in the pipeline that might achieve more than a billion dollars in annual sales.
For 129 years, New Brunswick has served as the headquarters of J&J, America’s seventh most valuable public company. With consumer products from Band-Aids to baby powder, Neutrogena to Rogaine, Listerine to Visine, Aveeno to Tylenol and Sudafed to Splenda, Johnson & Johnson is the biggest and, according to multiple surveys, most admired corporation in the world’s most prosperous industry—healthcare.
But the real money—about 80 percent of its revenue and 91 percent of its profit—comes not from those consumer favorites, but from Johnson & Johnson’s high-margin medical devices: artificial hips and knees, heart stents, surgical tools and monitoring devices; and from still higher-margin prescription drugs targeting Crohn’s disease (Remicade), cancer (Zytiga, Velcade), schizophrenia (Risperdal), diabetes (Invokana), psoriasis (Stelara), migraines (Topamax), heart disease (Xarelto) and attention deficit disorder (Concerta).

The fruitless quest for a “perfect” body isn’t unique to women, though based on the body image conversations we tend to hear, it’s easy to think so.
