To conclude with several feminism-characterized songs

Hi  followers! As the end of GPS class, I would like to conclude with my several favorite feminism-characterized songs. Feminism is not about rejecting men, adopting a tough style and burning bras. Actually the majority of feminists are liberal feminists, who believe that nobody gains from female-oppression, that the ending of gender-socialization is key to […]

Humour is the spicy of life! MIGHT BE NOT SAFE FOR WORK! (under your criteria!)
