Tatas or Nadas
Everyone latched onto their mother's boob at one point in time. But while some states allow breastfeeding to be publicly protected, the stigma is something that should be removed as well. Huffington Post published an article last year that said states like South Dakota and Virginia exempt woman who are breastfeeding from any public indecency charges or nudity violations. 47 of the 50 states allow women to breastfeed in public without any exemptions. But yet while those states allow public breastfeeding, there are some people who want them to do it in a spot where the boob and baby are out of sight.

It's the twenty-first century, and woman's grasp over her own "dignity" has recently become a matter of public debate, with shows like Love Island posing the question of whether the woman that embraces a set of sex-fuelled beauty standards is a victim or an emblem— empowered or exploited?

Reasons You Should Marry a Feminist
Whether you are male or female, there are many reasons why you should marry a feminist.

Gender roles have become so solidified that the bank accounts are still run by men, and women are expected to be the ones working hard in the home. But if you want to be happily married in the long term, marry a feminist. Here are the top reasons why you should marry a feminist and the benefits that will come from it.
