Attacking a crocodile to save a friend, getting a pink mohawk at 90 years old, getting a huge billboard ad to call out a cheater—this is just the tip of the iceberg of female awesomeness. They’re called ‘power moves’ for a reason. They resonate. They echo. They stick in your memory better than bubble gum to the pavement on a scorching summer’s day.

London-based comedy writer and multitalented creative Ariane shared with Bored Panda what she thinks are the main things that help lead a high-quality life, no matter what gender you might be.
“I think four things are essential for a full life: being true to yourself, being kind to yourself and others, having fun, and working hard to achieve your dreams,” she shared.

“Also, stop caring so much what other people think (you learn this as you get older!). We know we’re on track if we’re happy. Emotional pain signals that we need to change something in our lives,” Ariane explained to us how we can gauge if we’re on the right path in life or if we should consider changing some things.
Bored Panda wanted to get Ariane’s opinion on why some women are still pressured to get married as soon as possible, even in the West, in the 21st century. “Maybe not as soon as possible, but certainly at some point,” she said.
“I felt the pressure so badly, I went and married the wrong guy and regretted it,” Ariane opened up to us.

This Muslim Woman Took A Photo In Front Of An Anti-Muslim Protest Like A Pro
Muslims are actually pretty cool people, don't know why people gotta be so mean
Muslims are just people - they are neither THIS or THAT. I know plenty of a*****e muslims, Christinas, agnostics,, whatever.

«Islam is a religion of blood and murder», holy cow, this is coming from a christian. That’s some congnitive dissonance.
yeah it's not like the pope declared war on turkey and burned down multiple cities to "reclaim the holy land" or anything obvious-sa...cf-png.jpg 
There's religion and there's extremism. (Im assuming they're calling all Muslims extremists) Ironically these people are the exact thing they're protesting - under a different banner.
Anyone see the news that the guy who's been going to school boards and trying to get books banned was just arrested for child porn? These are "religious conservatives."
They're here to fight Obama Bin Ladden and his terrorist group, ISS.

The line up of ignoramuses behind her look like they'd be right a home at a trumpanzee rally... or a Nazi rally, actually. I wonder what they actually hope to achieve, with their signs and their stupidity. It's a shame we can't just "unstupid" them.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be without religion. Everyone would have to be accountable for their behavior.
Yeah, except for the 100 million killed by the communists. Have you heard of China and what they are doing to the Uyghurs?

Also want to know what it says. I've seen that image before. And it's actually a male in a dress with a turban and I think it was from a pride march.

The problem isn't muslims, it's islam. A religion which professes that non muslims exist only to be converted, subjugated or killed. Trouble is, they're around 500 years behind christianity - and look what the crusaders were like 500 years ago.
"Islam is a religion of blood and murder" As opposed to other religions?
The sad irony is Christians, Jews, and Muslims all believe in God; we just have a different prophet. But each religion teaches the same basic principles. Be nice to each other, worship God, help the poor...etc.
Not all Muslims are cold blooded baby murders, just like not all Christians are cold blooded baby murderers.
Look at the deformed retards in the background, totally takes away from her smile.
Just take a good look at the protesters would you want them living next door! I think not! Religion does not make an eneMy just because its different!
3 yrs ago my sister said to me that all Muslims want to kill ALL the Christians and she was a deathsantis/trump supporter. how times have changed! she changed her political party and embraces BLM and Muslims! people can change- TG!!!!
Now try doing that opposite in Saudi Arabia/Pakistan/Afghanistan etc 😁. Been to many islam based countries and most of its people are kind and hospitable. Just don't make fun of religion as you may end up in places/situations you don't want to be.
People generally believe whatever nonsense religion their parents and community believed when they were growing up. All religions are ridiculous superstition but those that put one gender above another are a roadblock to progress in this world. We would be better off if all religions just disappeared.
What's so difficult in "you do you"? Hey, as far as I'm concerned - whatever gets you through the day without taking an assault rifle to your coworkers is a win for all of us.
Not sure they realise that Jesus is the second-most important prophet in Islam after Mohammed, and whose name appears more in the Koran than him.
Reminds me of the Google Translate cover of Dua Lipa's New Rules. One of the lines is "look at Muslims", and the singer (and her copies of herself) said "they seem cool." "Yeah!"
When it comes to showing compassion, charity, hospitality, kindness and helping those in need, Muslim people win hands down. The Christians preach about it, the Muslims live it and breathe it. I live in a community where both religions are equally represented. The Muslim community always go out of their way to help anyone who needs it.
Story would be absolutely different if a non Muslim person stood in front of Muslim protesting group
Some of these so called Christains should read the Old Testament. If that isn’t a set of stories about a jealous, paranoid and controlling personality then I don’t know what is. And that sign is on about blood and murder. This is a personality that for poos and giggles told one of his cultists to kill his own son and to attack others whom were not obeying them (the so called god). And don’t get me started on the fact that Christanity and Islam basically have the same ‘god’ just known by different names.
They found all four anti-Muslims and somehow got them in the same photo.
When I scrolled down far enough to see the woman, I laughed out loud. Priceless.
The ignorance. Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet and he is respected in Islam. And if you want to find a text that is full of blood and murder, look no further than the bible.
A lovely beaming smile vs a pent-up, brainless sack of moronic anger.
AND the low-cognitive-ability white men in the background don't understand what's happening. Why aren't they superior anymore? JAYZUS wants them to be!
True Islam is nothing to do with blood or murder. Power to this woman for not letting them get away with such crap.
Laura Henderson If that were true the Middle East would be a paradise. With no subjugation of women, no genital mutilation, child brides, honor killings, forced marriages (girls forced to marry their rapist for example), public beheadings, stoning, cutting of hands, execution of homosexuals, slave trade (remember the yezidi women) etc. All these things derive from the sharia, the Islamic judicial system. IS consider themselves the bringers of true Islam. Not really a paradise.

She also offered a good comeback for when a woman gets asked why she’s not married yet. “I guess the comeback depends on the person asking, but try sighing and joking, ‘I guess I’m just not over your dad!’”
According to comedy writer Ariane, there are still many challenges that women face in this day and age, even in the West. She told us that “there’s still a lot of misogyny” and the sexual assault conviction rate is “shocking.”
“In the UK, only 7% of cases get to court and convictions are only 1.7% when it’s estimated that 95% of perpetrators are guilty. There’s definitely still a lot of work to do,” she said.

They did a movie about this with Hilary Swank. What they didn't tell you at the end of the film, was the Kenny died 6 months after he was released in a motorcycle accident. Tragic.
Thanks Emma From 1877!
Writer and human rights advocate Elizabeth Arif-Fear previously explained to Bored Panda that women still face barriers to entry, sexist attitudes, and harassment because of their gender. This can occur in the workplace, as well as at home. For instance, there’s still the expectation that women ‘should’ be the ones to do the lion’s share of the housework, even if they work full-time jobs.

Definitely Should Be Here!
“If both partners are working full-time then they should be sharing the housework equally. Sadly, research shows that women still do more housework than men even when working. On a practical level, if a couple is committed to an equal level of partnership, drawing up a chore timetable can be useful, as can designating roles by working out who does what based on their likes and strengths,” Elizabeth said.

Unfortunately, I suspect the cameraperson holds more power than the young woman, amazing as she is. Without it being documented, I doubt very much that they would have "lined up" to arrest her, she wouldn't have even had time to open that booklet. Recording for posterity (aka evidence) is what made them hesitate.
“These attitudes go beyond chores. They are a symptom of sexism. In such a relationship, both partners are not equal. No woman should be expected to work two full-time jobs—one paid and one at home—while her able-bodied husband sits back and does nothing at home,” the expert said.

And of course we don't know anything about her unlike Paul Revere. What a load of crap. Once again, a woman did twice the job a man did and a man got the credit.
“In today’s world, looking after the home and/or children is a full-time job in itself and such work needs to be shared. Families often have to rely on two incomes and women have the right to pursue professional goals—something which their spouse should encourage as part of an equal partnership,” she told us.

“Being financially dependent on a man is not a healthy or safe option. Spouses must be equal in opportunities and shared duties. As working patterns have shifted with the economy in the past decades, outdated sexist attitudes also need to shift. A women’s role is where she wants to be—just like a man’s.”

According to Elizabeth, it’s not a woman’s job to pick up or look after her male relatives. “If she chooses to stay at home as the family is financially able to manage on one wage, that must be the couple’s joint decision. Even then, there must be mutual respect, sharing of responsibility, and a fair equitable division of chores.”
