School apologises for 'slut-shaming' prom posters about 'appropriate' dresses suggesting women 'to blame' for rape

Summary | A Florida school was widely criticized online after a student shared posters that were put up in the school depicting what appropriate women's prom dresses look like and what kind of dresses are inappropriate. These posters were labeled with "good girl". The outrage is around the mysoginist language (degrading women to girls) and the mere fact that women's styling of their bodies is strongly policed and tied to accountability in sexual harrassment cases. The internet responded with a hashtag on Twitter with many contributions and the school's administration has since apologized.

Summary | One school's guidelines on what appropriate prom gowns entail went viral on Twitter because of the double standard that girls are subjected to such prescriptivism and also because the text accompanying the images was demeaning towards women. An image of a gown seen as appropriate is captioned with "good girl" resounding how one would talk to a dog rather than young women.

Summary | Emojis have gotten a lot more socially inclusive lately, representing several shades of skin and hair color, mixing up male and female stereotypes by for instance featuring a prince emoji and a policewoman emoji, as well as adding a gender-non-conforming emoji, and an emoji wearing a hijab. One group however still feels left out and is very vocal in their demand for an emoji that represents them: red-haired people. A petition has been signed by several throusand people but it is not likely that there will be another update to the emoji collection soon.

Summary | Emojis are becoming a universal language. Will they allow men and women to understand each other? A recent study tried to figure out which emojis are mostly used by men and which are mostly used by women. Results show that men and women use different emojis and they use them differently. For instance, women tend to use more emojis with tears than men.

Summary | There are many different types of mothers on Facebook. At best, they only occasionally post pictures that are mostly positive with a pinch of reality thrown in. They share useful articles and stay conncected. Most mothers on Facebook are however prone to oversharing their personal life, political activism, or advertising products on Facebook. Some rarely update their profile, which makes it difficult to asses whether they are friend-material. The worst are the mothers who are not on Facebook and then bother you to get them information about events or groups on Facebook.
