Pierre de Vallombreuse Photographs Gender Equality In Southeast Asia Indiginous Cultures

Pierre de Vallombreuse Photographs Gender Equality In Southeast Asia Indiginous Cultures

"Most of the cultures in Southeast Asia are more based on equality than domination," the photographer explained. For this series 'Souveraines', which was commissioned by Arthaud Publishing, de Vallombreuse "selected four remote cultures where women play decisive and central roles in governance and spirituality—the Khasi, a matrilineal and matrilocal society in northeastern India; the Palawan, a non-hierarchical community in the Philippines; the Mosuo ethnic group in China; and the Badjao, a sea-dwelling group that prefers boats to houses."

It should be noted that female sexuality is more more embraced in these societies, as we've written on AOC, and often it is women who choose their sexual partners, if only for the night. These realities dovetail back to our historical understandings of women's lives before the deterioration of women's rights, escalating dramatically after 10,000 BC.

De Vallombreuse says one of the most striking things he observed in these societies included "fluidity, simplicity, and normality" between men and women. "This should be normal everywhere," he said.

Meryl Streep Joined By Sean Penn In Promoting 'India's Daughter for 2016 Best Documentary Oscar

Meryl Streep Joined By Sean Penn In Promoting 'India's Daughter for 2016 Best Documentary Oscar

Director Leslee Udwin's film 'India's Daughter' has opened in general release here in America. Although the film about gang rape in India continues to be banned in India, Meryl Streep is aggressively promoting it for a best documentary Oscar in 2016. "When I first saw (the film) I couldn't speak afterwards," the actor said recently in New York.

Streep was joined by Freida Pinto, in promoting 'India's Daughter' at the Tribeca Film Festival in March, and the activist actor has attracted a long and growing list of suporters of the film. 
On Tuesday in Los Angeles at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, Sean Penn joined Streep in promoting 'India's Daughter'. 
Comparing Udwin’s film about the gang rape of 23-year-old Jyoti Singh and the Indian and global protests that followed to an MRI, Penn added: “It made me ponder manhood. It reminded me of a trip I took with my children many years ago to Tanzania. I remember saying to our guide how extraordinary it was to see a culture last the way it had been for a thousand years. And the guide said to me: ‘Don’t wish the static upon anyone. It will kill them.’”

Anti-feminist Marion Cotillard Shines In Ben Hassett Images For Madame Figaro

Anti-feminist Marion Cotillard Shines In Ben Hassett Images For Madame Figaro

Actor Marion Cotillard, one of France's most famous muses since 2008, has been in the hot seat, after denying the existence of sexism in Hollywood and the need for feminism in the world. Cotillard says she believes in women's rights but not confronting men -- as Jennifer Lawrence has done -- where inequality exists. It seems that Cotillard embraces the idea that men should not discriminate against women, but when it happens, the most important goal is to protect harmony between the sexes and not be divisive or create any separation, says the actor.

VS Angel Martha Hunt Seduces In Jack Waterlot Images For L'Officiel Malaysia October 2015

Victoria's Secret Angel Martha Hunt, who is also a spokesperson for Free People, adds her western woman brand of sexy sizzle in a country where women have been caned in the last few years for adultery.L'Officiel Malaysia has always intrigued us with their provocations in this deeply Muslim country where activists from a coalition of eight organizations have formed the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality. Earlier this month, the coalition denounced  the government's claim that child brides are rare in the country. 

Citing statistic from United Nations’ reports, the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) said there were as many as 15,000 Malaysians who were married off before the age of 19, contrary to the low figures given by the prime minister’s wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor at a function in the US yesterday.

Malaysia to Free People

Checking for a status pdate on last week's PETA action against Free People for refusing to stop the sale of angora after brutal videos of harvesting angora from rabbits were revealed, we note that the conflict was settled in the last 24 hours. Writing about the action last week, we didn't even think to look and see if Martha was the model behind the campaign. Woops!

It appears that Free People conceded today. 

Hearing His Angry Critics, Joe Biden Announces That He Will Not Seek Presidency in 2016

Hearing His Angry Critics, Joe Biden Announces That He Will Not Seek Presidency in 2016 AOC Hillary Clinton

Posted by HIllaryWomenNews minutes before US Vice President Joe Biden announced that he will not run for President in 2016.

Dear Joe. I'm collecting my thoughts on what to say to you, but Anita, Gloria and Hillary are on my mind right now. You said yesterday how much you like Dick Cheney and the Republicans. I want you to know how absolutely NERVOUS and DISTRUSTFUL you are making me feel about you.
There's nothing worse for women than a bunch of Bible-toting men in any party, and you admit, Joe -- in your heart -- that you accept the Biblical version of events. You said it three weeks ago when the media-celebrity Pope Francis was rocking the East Coast. One Supreme Court Justice is enough for you, Joe Biden! And don't kid yourself, Sir. We have just begun to fight! If you run, this battle becomes epic and deeply personal, in a way it isn't with Bernie Sanders! (We will) Never Forget! ~ Anne Enke

Clearly HIllaryMen had a similar response. Many of us have been very frustrated with Joe Biden's increasingly apparent need to keep the entire Democratic party on pins and needles while he pondered his decision about running. In this particularly good week for Hillary, Joe Biden was increasingly becoming a spoiler in waiting. The Vice President pushed my buttons when he suggested that people like me were bullying him . . . and he would not be bullied. For those of us who have exhibited enormous patience and respect for Joe, his accusations were a bit much.

And then yesterday, all hell began to break lose, as Joe Biden leveled one aggressive comment after another against HIllary Clinton, while simultaneously telling the nation how much he personally likes Dick Cheney and Republicans.  

I got up this morning deciding to take the gloves off, and admittedly Gloria Steinem got me going with her new book. As always HillaryMen was already in the groove.

Hillary Clinton Sermon 'We All Have Different Gifts' At Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. On September 13, 2015

Good morning. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. And especially for this occasion, a remarkable event that we are celebrating together. I am so glad that Chelsea and I could be part of it. I thank you for that invitation.

I was thinking, as Chelsea was speaking, how unpredictable, even serendipitous it turned out to be that we ended up at Foundry. Some of you may remember it was not too long after the inauguration. It was a Sunday. We were already getting kind of stir-crazy, and so we thought, “Let’s go to church.” Now, this was a long time ago — 1993. There had been a big storm in Washington. The drifting snow was stacked in the streets and on the sides. We had the idea that we would find a Methodist church and walk from the White House. I don’t know who was there that day. Some of you were very, very kind in bringing us in. This was the time before metal detectors and all of the hyper-security that we live with today. We just walked out of the White House followed by some bewildered Secret Service agents and made our way to church. And from that moment until this, we have always felt so welcome.

Chelsea has just described how much Foundry meant to her, and I can only echo that as her mother who saw how embraced she felt here in this congregation. This community — because indeed that’s what it is — was a place where we could worship, study, contemplate, be of service, get some good pastoral advice, and step outside all the commotion of life in the White House and Washington. That was very, very precious to us. Here we were, not “the First Family” — we were just our family. And we relished and cherished that time. We always have felt part of the Foundry family. …

As I was listening to Chelsea and remembering those early weeks and months here in Washington for us, and how thrilled I was that she found so much support here, I of course thought about my own Methodist church growing up in Park Ridge, Illinois, where I had the same kind of experience.

I am a Methodist both by birth and by choice. I was born into a Methodist family — parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, claiming to go all the way back to the coalfields hearing the Wesleys preach. Now, as with so much inherited family lore, I am sure the press will dive on that and try to figure it out. All I can tell you is what my grandparents told me." Read on.

Women For Hillary | Sharon Stone Touts Hillary’s ‘Global Understanding’ In Endorsing Hillary For President AOC Hillary Women

Talking about Hillary Clinton, Sharon Stone says this:

“Hillary is, for me, the best Secretary of State we’ve had since Henry Kissinger, and Kissinger couldn’t run because of his status as a citizen, but Hillary, man or woman, is just such a great person to be President because of her global understanding that she’s garnered being Secretary of State.

“She’s an educated woman who’s been in politics all of her life, and for me to play VP during this prescient moment when women are in so many powerful positions politically and when we’re apt to have a woman as President, it’s a very exciting time in the world to be playing something that is really in that moment, that historical moment.”

Hillary Clinton Turns A New Page In Her Campaign With Thursday 9/10 Chat on Ellen & Promise To Be Funny

When Andrea Mitchell pointed out to Hillary Clinton that she is not perceived as being authentic, Hillary Clinton Resources just sighed. The problem is a common one for women in the public eye. Females are expected to be ‘authentic’ in a way that men are not.

The bar for public female authenticity is much, much higher, maybe insurmountable. In a NYT op-ed titled “Speaking While Female,” Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant wrote about how hard it is for women leaders—in business, or anywhere—to be heard over the white noise of judgmental, sexist filters.

Psychologist Nina Burrowes, author of ‘The Little Book on Authenticity’ reminds us that authenticity is writing your own story. Being under the microscope 24/7 and constantly assessed and analyzed, just how does Hillary do that?

Hillary Clinton: Realist and Idealist

Speaking about Hillary Clinton to TIME 100, Laurene Jobs said:

Hillary Clinton is not familiar. She is revolutionary. Not radical, but revolutionary: The distinction is crucial. She is one of America’s greatest modern creations.

Her decades in our public life must not blind us to the fact that she represents new realities and possibilities. Indeed, those same decades have conferred upon her what newness usually lacks: judgment, and even wisdom.

Laurene for Dreamers

Through her work for College Track, Laurene Powell Jobs became deeply involved in the challenges of being undocumented in America. The result is that this powerhouse woman has become a leader in pushing the Dream Act, first introduced in 2001. In December 2012, Powell Jobs enlisted the help of the Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, asking him to make a short documentary about immigration. The two met through the making of Davis’ documentary ‘Waiting for Superman’, a film that examined the crisis in America’s public schools.

Powell Jobs needed a film to influence Congress in deliberations around an immigration bill.

Boys Club: Ashley Madison Hack Allegedly Nabs Josh Duggar & 10,000 Govt Email Addys | Subway's Jared Fogel Pleads Guilty to Child Porn Crimes

Just when he thought he was out of the ditch for molesting girls, including four of his sisters, as a young man, family values man and former executive director of the Family Research Council Josh Duggar is the first big bust in the dump of subscribers to the Ashley Madison website. Hacked a month ago, Ashley Madison was told to cease operation or be saddled with a digital dump of members’ info. 

Duggar’s role at the very conservative Council was “to champion marriage and family as the foundation of civilization, the seedbed of virtue, and the wellspring of society.” But as the first really big fish whose identity and credit card billing address were revealed, but not the credit card #, Duggar wasn’t actually championing his great marriage on Ashley Madison.

Someone using a credit card belonging to a Joshua J. Duggar, with a billing address matching his grandmother Mary’s home in Fayetteville, Arkansas, paid a total of $986.76 for two different monthly subscriptions from February 2013 until May 2015.

The second account, opened in July 2014, was maintained from his home in Oxon Hill, Maryland. When opening that account, Duggar paid an initial fee of $250 that guaranteed an affair within three months.

Deeply embroiled in maintaining the Duggar family values, Josh’s wife Anna forgave him in a most public way for his youthful discretions, as revealed in May 2015:

It appears, though, that until the day he was busted for his youthful touchy relationships with young girls — Josh Duggar was leading another life.  And until this story broke at 5:30 pm, it seemed that the sandwich man was in the Boys Club hot seat.

Subway Pitchman Admits to Child Porn, Sex Crimes

Jared Fogel, the previously obese longtime Subway pitchman who in 2000 lost 245 pounds eating Subway food, pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of distributing pornography and attempting to pay for sex acts with children.

Fogel faces a prison term of at least five years and as much as 12.5 years. The Indiana resident also agreed to pay a $1.4 million restitution to more than a dozen child victims. He must undergo sexual disorder treatment and register as a sex offender. The defendant will plead guilty later to one count each of traveling to engage in sexual conduct with a minor and the distribution and receipt of child pornography.

Subway cut its ties to Fogle in July after the head of his charitable foundation was arrested for child pornography and investigators raided Jared Fogel’s home. Anoter person who cut ties is Fogle’s wife Katie, who filed for divorce today.

Katie Fogle issued a statement saying that she is “extremely shocked and disappointed” by the allegations and focused solely on the well-being of their two children.

10,000 Gov’t Officials’ Email Address on Hacked Ashley Madison List

Among the 36 million email addresses dumped in the Ashley Madison hack are 10-15,000 .gov addresses, depending on the source. The data dump also includes user names, first and last name, the last four digits of a credit card number with addresses, IP addresses and phone numbers.

The Daily Beast reviewed the files and found accounts linked to the email addresses of members of the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as numerous officials from the Australian and British governments. The Daily Beast, however, cannot verify the authenticity of all the accounts yet.

The hack is ties to allegations that 90-95% of the Ashley Madison real profiles are from men, causing the company to be the defendent in a fake profile lawsuit.
