There are no excuses. It’s not enough just to say ‘this is not something we’ll stand for, we’ll hold these people accountable’ unless you’re providing a system and process to actually do that.

We have to make sure it’s a victim-centered response, from the moment the victim makes that report all the way through to the point where the perpetrator is prosecuted, charged, and punished.

Tulsi Gabbard and Tammy Duckworth – both Iraq vets, both Congresswomen – comment on the state of military sexual assault prosecution.

Opt out or left out? The economics of stay-at-home moms  - NBC News.com

Do stay-at-home moms stay at home because they can afford to? Research says the “opt-out” trend is a myth – that most stay-at-home moms stay out of the workforce because they believe they can’t afford things like childcare and transportation they would need if they took a job.

Photographer Jaime Moore wanted to do a photo shoot for her daughter’s 5th birthday – one that didn’t involve Disney princesses. The final product is incredible. 
“No matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of  how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess….It started me thinking about all the REAL women for my daughter to know about and look up too, REAL women who without ever meeting Emma have changed her life for the better.”

Happy Mothers’ Day! How much do you think you know about community colleges? We’ll reblog on Monday with the answer - check out our new research report if you want to know before then.

The answers to these two are C - 1 million and C - about 50%.

More student moms attend community colleges than anywhere else, but less community colleges offer child care than 4-year public schools. This is a problem - and might affect the high dropout rate in CCs.

This is the problem: Community Colleges are a huge asset to way more students than you think - but we need to focus on lowering the dropout rate.

How much do you think you know about community colleges? We’ll reblog on Monday with the answer - check out our new research report if you want to know before then.

The answer’s A - $3,000. This is why community colleges are such an asset to anyone who couldn’t otherwise afford to go to college - like single moms.
