Let the players play! #TheManMusicVideo is out now!
This video had me in tears. As a 23 year old woman, I’m constantly objectified and sexualized. I’m constantly told at work that I’m too emotional, or that I must be on my period for getting mad at something, simply because I’m a woman. I play this song for my 1 year old niece. I want to keep progress moving and make a world that she can feel empowered in. I hope so many women, regardless of if they like or dislike Taylor’s music, hear this song and get something out of it. Can’t wait to hear this everywhere- if not by the radio then by me blasting it, windows down in my car everywhere on repeat (if you haven'theard me doing that since August). @taylorswift@taylornation
Happy 110th birthday to the Girl Scouts! Many decades after its founding in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia, the Girls Scouts is a vibrant national organization serving millions of girls around the country. In total, more than 50 million women in American were a part of the Girl Scouts during their childhoods, showing the tremendous impact the organization has had on empowering generations of girls.
Many of the Girl Scouts of the past and present have been inspired by the Girl Scouts Law to “make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.” The Girl Scouts pictured here were a part of an effort during World War I to collect peach pits and other fruit stones. The pits were burned to produce charcoal which was used in the gas mask filters of Allied troops; gas masks became essential for troops on the Western Front after the Germans began using poisonous gases against Allied soldiers. Peach pit drives became popular across the country with Girl Scout troop being among the largest collectors.
