US Congressman: Rape Victims’ Bodies ‘Shut Down’ Pregnancies Automatically, No Need For Abortion

Read the article ^. The statement is so absurd, it's almost hilarious. If only it weren't such a serious situation...

Pussy Riot- outspoken feminist rocker chicks

I am sure most are aware of Pussy Riot, a Russian female punk band who staged a performance at a Moscow Cathedral back in February, blaring the lyrics: " St. Maria, Virgin, Drive away Putin
Drive away! Drive away Putin!"

They were recently condemned two years in jail for "hooliganism". 

The band members said their protest was against the orthodox church leader's support for Mr. Putin. Their lawyer stated that the women will appeal but not ask for Mr. Putin for a pardon.

Meanwhile, all around the world, supporters of Pussy Riot have risen up in their own protests and demonstrations as their verdicts were declared. The feelings in Russia, are in contrast, not so sympathetic. According to an article on bbc.co.uk, A recent opinion poll released by the Levada research group showed only 6% of Russians sympathised, while 51% felt antipathy. 

I can see how they were wrong in causing an uproar in such a religious atmosphere, but their message might not have had such a widespread reach if the circumstances were more prudent. The extremity of the scene is what caught attention, and made such a bold statement. Their sentence of two years I think is harsh, but I guess that's because I live in America; such displays of opinion might be more socially and politically acceptable in places like the US than in places like Russia. 

Check out the video of their Moscow performance: 

Fashion Blog

I'm a person with varied interests, and I thought that I would be able to blog about them all eclectically on this blog.

But fashion doesn't really go well with politics and such so I made a separate blog to showcase my love for fashion and help those who also are interested in fashion to be visually and mentally inspired.

So check it out, Concrete Catwalk, everybody! Go! Go! Go!
