1.) As some of you may already know Iggy Azalea has stopped crowd surfing because 'people try to finger her.' During an interview she even admitted that she wears extra underwear and flesh toned tights to further avoid being assaulted. Iggy went to twitter to find the people who were planning to assault her and has said that most of the people have been women. I'm proud to see a lot of fans realizing that this is wrong and speaking out about it as well as Iggy. People think it's ok to do this to her because of the outfits she wears on stage or in music videos or because of certain lyrics. This is once again people thinking they own someone else or owe something from celebrities. People are people, not objects. Rape culture strikes again.
2.) 16 year old Maren Sanchez was murdered because she refused an invitation to prom. Let's talk a moment to let that sink in. A guy went up to a girl he went to school with and asked her to prom, she said no because she was going with her boyfriend, and he killed her because of her refusal. That boy felt so much that he owned her and that he was superior that he flew into a rage when told no. The media is making this out to be 'dispute' like this is a small little spat when really a young girl is gone and the male superiority continues. There is nothing small about this story. A family will have to bury their child. 3.) 40 year old Angie Robinson murdered her 16 year old autistic son Rupert before killing herself, a lot of people aren't agreeing with that though. Some people feel as though Rupert drove his mother to kill them because of his illness. The fact that anyone thinks that a disabled teenager is to blame for his own murder is flat out disgusting. People are even saying that it's better that he's dead because of the 'trouble' and 'hard ship' he must have put his parents through. If you don't see the problem with this you need to take a long hard look at yourself.
