The soldier who carried a cannon on his shoulders
**Jevto Jevtovic** is the only **Serbian soldier who carried a cannon on his shoulders** during the withdrawal of the Serbian army, without throwing it into the abyss of the Prokletije mountains.
During the Albanian Golgotha, exhausted Serbian soldiers left cannons and other artillery and weapons in various ravines and abysses of the martyr's path. Especially through the Prokletije mountains.
**Albanian Golgotha** is the established name for the withdrawal of the Serbian army and exiled civilians over the snow-capped mountains of Albania and Montenegro in the winter of 1915/16 year during the World War I.
The soldier managed to cross the mountains and so the cannon carried on Jevto's back, arrived in Durres (Albania) completely intact.
When the French general heard this, he asked to see him. He saluted the veteran and handed him his legion of honor. To that, **Jevto Jevtovic, a Serbian soldier, replied:**
***"I don't need a medal, but ammunition, to return to my Gojna Mountain."***
Together with his comrades-in-arms, Jevto set out for Corfu (Greece), and later the cannon continued its movement towards France with the soldiers.
The transferred cannon is kept today in **the Military Museum in Marseille, France.** The museum setting is available for visitors, you can see and take pictures next to the famous cannon.
Jevto Jevtovic was born in 1892. He was a soldier in the army of the Kingdom of Serbia. He took part in both Balkan wars, as well as in the Battle of Cer. He died in 1977.

Principle of equality, democracy and responsibilities in education
One of the most important roles of formal education, in many countries, is shaping good, obedient citizens, who share one common identity and who are loyal to the nation-state. And although it no doubt served a noble purpose, and in certain social circumstances and was necessary, in most cases it is precisely this role has led to the marginalization of numerous, ethnically diverse peoples, whose cultures, religions, languages or ways of life did not coincide with the so-called national ideal.
In many countries even today there are tensions between the functions and demands of the national system of education, values, interests, and aspirations of different people. A school institution, no matter how important and independent today is a social one phenomenon, it is determined by social frameworks that sometimes cannot be opposed.
When it is a word about the social system, as a factor of socialization, school goals, and program it will differ significantly in a democratic system from those within an authoritarian one system.
In the school system, **democracy in education** should not be understood only as someone external, legal, and political issue, but, above all, as an internal, pedagogical issue. As a question of the mutual relations of those who know, can and can, towards those who do not know, they cannot and do not know-how; those who have a certain social power and role and those who are just on the path of personal affirmation; older and stronger, according to the younger and weaker, members of one sex towards members of the other sex, those who evaluate and decide and those who evaluate and decides on.
Education is becoming more and more transformed, from the process of leading and teaching, in a complex pedagogically shaped **system of mutual communications**. With that in ties, democracy is a condition for the success of these communications. As for status personality, as well as in terms of motivation to work within certain conditions and relationships. Numerous research in the field of pedagogy and psychology speaks of the greater effects of the work of the so-called "Democratic teacher" in relation to teachers who are characterized by authoritarianism, indifference, ruthlessness, arrogance, and similar qualities.
**In a democratically organized system**, respecting this principle, the teacher provides an **equal position** in the participation of students and teachers in the common and interactive learning, in considering current events in the classroom, school, and social environment with the application and deepening of acquired civic knowledge. He also makes it possible to partner and democratic participation of students in deciding on important issues of preparation and teaching civic education and other subjects, as well as justice in evaluating and promoting student work.
**The principle of equality, democracy, and responsibility** implies organization of educational activities and application of such methods and means of education, in which it will be available to all without exception (regardless of race, religion, nation, economic power, the social reputation of parents) to have the same treatment, position, and respect personalities. This refers to the mutual relations of the pupils and the relations between the educators and pupils. The history of upbringing and school gives us many examples when they are democratic relations and democratic conduct were only a distant vision and utopia of pedagogical reformers.
Totalitarian state systems, hierarchical relations, mutual exploitation of social groups, religious and national intolerance, ruthlessness rich to poor, authoritarian attitudes of the elderly towards the younger, and so on, they were, and still are often, an obstacle to respecting this requirement in education. However, within the existing social barriers, all those who work in education are obliged to fight for creating the most democratic atmosphere possible, which is a condition of any progress and progress in education.
**Respecting these principles** enables the socialization of the individual's personality in the civic education of a democratic atmosphere and is realized more intensively in cooperative and interactive (tandem, group, class) learning and effective joint teaching. Mostly, interactive main exercises allow exchange of experiences, arguments, information, ideas, compromise, tolerance cultural and other differences, allowing students to develop nonviolent skills communicating, associating, preferring the common good and forming traits personalities of democratic value orientations and prosocial behavior, and they are properties characteristic of democratic citizenship. The balance of the individualized, interactive and collaborative learning, creativity, and teaching in civic education the complementary requirements of this principle is balanced and optimally achieved socialization of authentic personalities.
Tolerance and multiculturalism in education
Modern society is characterized by many differences. These differences are manifested daily through different forms. However, the differences are not bad, the differences are our strength and beauty. Although many use differences as an excuse for violence and various forms of discrimination, we must understand that this is the wrong approach. Education should be our main weapon in the fight against violence and discrimination. In order to learn to respect differences, the basic principles of education should be tolerance and multiculturalism.
****Tolerance in education****
Tolerance is one of **the basic demands** of our time because is the world today divided in all possible ways, there is no single view of the world, and yet it must be to live together and search for what unites us. There are places for differences and contradictions in human reality because they are the forces of development.
In a psychological sense, it represents **an open mind**, a readiness for non-dogmatic thinking and implies freedom from conventions, prejudices, and stereotypes.
As a special term, "social tolerance" means recognition of **the right to diversity**. It is a natural tendency of people to expect and strive for their right diversity is as such and respected, which means that others recognize their right and tolerate. It is a legitimate right for people to speak their mother tongue, to take care of preserving their own culture, or belonging to a religious community. Recognition of rights it implies both traits - that the differences that divide us do not exist as privileged or superior.
The states in the field of **education** should encourage the spirit of tolerance and intercultural dialogue and take effective measures to promote mutual respect, understanding and cooperation among all people living in its territory, regardless of their ethnicity, cultural, linguistic, or religious identity.
Tolerance can be successfully learned by fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and assistance, by enabling the reasoned exchange of opinions and decisions. Such an attitude is understandable considering the differentiation and heterogeneity of the modern societies (different nations, professions, generations, religions, and political groups), mutual understanding, and dialogue are necessary for life in it.
For reasons, tolerance is an imperative of our time, because it is the only constructive and civilized way of overcoming differences in views, beliefs, and interests of different groups of people who, like it or not, have to live together.
The dialogue is like that singles out as the most adequate means of reconciling different, often opposing ideology, views, beliefs, and opinions. By confronting different attitudes, ideas, and opinions, an optimal solution is reached, which is the most acceptable for all participant's dialogue. For that reason, it is important to nurture dialogue as an educational, intercommunicating tool whose power is revealed through immediate social activity and engagement.
Tolerance should be **the basic principle of education**, the principle from which education starts. Therefore, in this way we can educate people who will be tolerant. This means less discrimination and misunderstanding between different groups of people. At the same time, it means more support, love, companionship.
****Multiculturalism in education****
In modern society, national fences are disappearing more and more, according to their needs disappearance creates a higher form of social community, humanity emerges as a unique society.
We must understand that **everyone has the right to education**. Elementary education would it should be aimed at the full development of human identity and the strengthening of respecting human rights and fundamental and basic freedoms. It should promote understanding, tolerance, and friendship between nations, racial and religious groups, and peacekeeping activities. Along the way, multiculturalism emerges, as one of the tasks and goals of the modern school.
**Multiculturalism** gives us insight into the differences that unite us or that unite us make them unique, interesting, and worthy of mention and respect. By nurturing values of multiculturalism in school frameworks and understanding of its essence and significance can greatly contribute to the unity and cooperation of its subjects. Example point educational work with children of different nationalities is the basis for removing prejudices and for multicultural action on the development of socially positive attitudes. The goal of multicultural education and the upbringing of students is to provide equality of education for all.
**The principles of multiculturalism** will enable students to understand, respect, and appreciate cultural differences and similarities, as well as recognize the achievements of different ones ethnic, racial, and social and economic groups. Different groups to display realistically, from multiple perspectives with the aim of equalizing relations between cultures.
**Multicultural education** can take place on several levels, starting with organization joint activities in the learning process to a transformative approach that enables incorporation of different cultural patterns into the curriculum, with the aim of developing multiculturalism in students.
Does a child of the non-preferred gender have the right to live?
Does a child of the unwanted biological gender have the right to have a life and treatment that he/she would have received if he/she had not been "accidentally" born exactly as he/she is?
This is a very important question that we will try to analyze in two ways.
**I - the unfounded phenomenon that people want boys more**
In Serbia and on the entire Balkan, we have the phenomenon that male babies are valued more in the family and society. It is believed that the sons are the bearers of the family name and the heirs of the estate, and the sons are the pride of the family. All these conceptions originate in the deep-rooted patriarchy that persists even today.
When a female child is born, a baby is confronted with inappropriate statements such as "blessings":
"Come on, get a brother next year!"
"Here's some money to buy a brother!"
"Let mom and dad give you a brother for your birthday!"
"Good luck, so I wish you a baby boy next year" (for mom).
When a male child is born, people say other things as:
a very happy enthusiasm: "It's a boy!"
"Dad's firstborn arrived"
"A son heir was born"
"First and a boy!"
I think from these statements it is clear how much more people want to have a male child. It is obvious that a male child is more appreciated. Such phenomena and examples show how little a woman is valued in the family and in society, starting from her birth and throughout her life.
If the second child is also a woman, the parents often want a third pregnancy in the hope of having a son. I know some families who decide to have a fourth or fifth child in order to have a male child.
I think from these statements it is clear how much more people want to have a male child. It is obvious that a male child is more appreciated.
Such phenomena and examples show **how little a woman is valued in the family and in society, starting from her birth and throughout her life.**
This happens out of personal beliefs that society has instilled in them, but also because of the pressure of society.
**Why is a female child less valuable?**
**Until when will a woman be less valued in the family and society?**
**Are these things happening in your country?**
**Do you value both male and female babies?**
This sad story is also applicable in the opposite case when parents want a female child at all costs. In both cases, it is equally tragic.
It is not an essential problem with wishes. Every person has the right to want a child of certain sex and gender. This is natural and completely normal.
The problem arises when a person is not able to accept the fact that not all wishes are fulfilled and that some things should be accepted even when they are not according to plan. Children are wonderful beings and completely innocent.
**II - a situation where the sex and gender of your child are different**
Are you confused? Wondering how we are having two things: the sex and the gender of the child? You want to tell me: Isn't that the same thing? Nope!
Let's renew our knowledge or learn something new.
Sex and gender are terms that are often used interchangeably but they are in fact **two different concepts**, even though for many people their sex and gender are the same.
**Sex** denotes anatomical structure and biological characteristics and it is a label assigned to a person at birth.
**Gender** is an individual’s view of themselves, or their gender identity, and the social and cultural role of each sex within a given society.
**To conclude**, in general terms, "**sex**" refers to biological characteristics, and "**gender**" refers to the individual’s and society’s perceptions of sexuality and the malleable concepts of masculinity and femininity.
**Gender and sex are not the same as the term sexual orientation.**
We need to learn to distinguish these two terms in order to better understand the people whose sex and gender different.
**Transgender people** are people whose gender identity is different from the gender they were thought to be at birth. “Trans” is often used as shorthand for transgender.
**Intersex people** are often known as people whose bodies fall in the vast continuum between "male" and "female".
It can often happen that parents eventually discover that they have a transgender child. This can affect them in different ways. Unfortunately, it often happens that parents reject their child, do not provide him or her with any support, and even mental and physical violence against the child occurs.
Let me ask you, **is that a reason to reject your child?** To stop loving him? Not supporting him? Is that what people will say is more important than your child? Are your prejudices stronger than your love for your child?
**Transgender or intersex is an integral part of life, it is nothing to be ashamed of or given up. Such children and people have the right to their own lives. Support them and give them love.**
**Health, love, and acceptance**
Unfortunately, there are people who still nurture the belief that a male child is more valuable. There are even those extreme cases that purposely do tests for early detection of sex so that they can "get rid" as soon as possible if they do not like the result, the sex of the child.
Everyone today has the right to be a parent, even those primitive people who think that sex and gender are more important than **health, love, and acceptance**. This is the beginning of poisonous parenting.
**Love your children, support them. Discard your prejudices, educate yourself. Love above all.**
The woman who liberated Taiwan from COVID-19
Covid-19 is a virus that started in late 2019 in China. Since then, it has spread rapidly around the world. Let's look at the statistics of those infected and died from this virus worldwide:
One country is successfully resisting this dangerous virus. Taiwan has the lowest mortality rate of Covid-19 in the world. Let's look at the statistics:
Today, there are **only 7 COVID-19 deaths in Taiwan.** 7 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, since the beginning of this year. How one country, with 23-25 million inhabitants and a high population density (one-meter distance is far more challenging here) managed to save its population not only from virus, but also from isolation, restaurants, and schools closing. I will remind you that Taiwan is very close to China, where it all began.
Today we put our name in the face of this great success. It is **Audrey Tang**, Taiwan's minister of digital technology.
**She is 38 years old**, she was born in the body of a boy and her name at birth was Autrijus. She has an incredibly high IQ, at the age of 8 she learned to code, while at the age of 14 she left school to start her own start-up company at the age of 16. At 24 he became Audrey, and at 33 she retired. She worked as a hacker and in 2016 she became very engaged in the ranks of activist organizations that fought against China's interference in Taiwan's democracy.
**She is the first** **transgender** **minister.** She led a generation of young people in the IT sector and became the Minister of New Technologies. Her, as well as the government's goal, is to involve all citizens in building the society in which they live. Inclusiveness. She imposes the ideas of post-gender and anarchic conservatism, very intriguing and progressive ideas. She turned against trolls, who, she believes, only destroy society and do not lead to its unification. https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/what-does-lgbtq-means-da530457
Dr. Li Wenliang first talked about a new virus circulating and lung attack in December 2019 and **the Taiwanese government took this very seriously**. They introduced testing for all Wuhan passengers than introduced mandatory masks in public space very quickly, masks were free, they tracked down contacts efficiently, while infected people had to stay home and download the app that checked on them. Non-compliance with quarantine was severely punishable, **6 months in prison or a € 30.000 fine.**
**Audrey Tang** has therefore participated in these proposals, as well as in the development of technologies that will be able to track the sick. She also advocated making various jokes on the Internet that influenced people on social networks not to believe in conspiracy theories and not to buy too many things in shops. She uses the Internet the way we should all do it. For the sake of uniting one nation and suppressing everything that is harmful to mental and physical health.
Some would characterize these measures as a dictatorship. However, **Taiwan counts today only 7 dead from the COVID-19.** Freedom of speech and movement is crucial in today's democracies in the West, that is why the strict measures are often strongly criticized. Despite the fact that sooner or later, almost all countries enhanced them. While in the same West, faith in the government is declining, in Taiwan it has been achieved exactly the opposite, and the tools we have today have been used for the right purposes.
The Taiwanese government, including the minister Andrey Tang, has shown supreme responsibility to its citizens in the fight against the virus.
What can other countries learn from the example of Taiwan?
Has any other country fought the virus so successfully?
Social justice in school
Society in the 21st century is facing great progress in every field of social development, however, during that lightning development there are by-products that do not have especially positive character in a society that promotes healthy values, which fights for freedom, equality, humanity, and ethics, for each individual, within its own complex structures.
The society represents a specific set of individuals who make up in their unity the whole with all its specifics, in an individual and common sense. From the of an orderly, democratic society, to which one aspires, and which finds a positive echo in organized social communities to a society that due to certain cultural specificity, deprivation of the environment itself and individuals in it, in which it is noticeable suffering culture, education, and individuals. Of course, this phenomenon has been known since before, however, at the developmental stage of civilization, as he is today, with the possibilities that he provides, these negative connotations still cast a shadow on the society to which these negative manifestations of human behavior are a major stumbling block.
By identifying possible situations and experiences that affect personality development negatively and are manifested in a chain reaction, from the object that suffers the action, that is the victim, to the subject or perpetrator who exercises those measures. The individual must direct in the spirit of self-defense from negative influences on his personal and positive development and in the spirit of promoting socially, relatively socially healthy values and attitudes.
**The school environment**, for many students and attendees, is a significant social one framework, second home, refuge, and an indispensable part of life, as well as a cultural, educational institution that largely determines the future of an individual.
The first steps of a child determine his life path in the future, and his future affects the future of other individuals, with whom it enters into indirect or immediate contact. In that sense, our goal is to build a person who will stay on a positive path, who will represent a person who bravely copes with moral challenges and obstacles of the 21st century.
On the thorny path of young people's lives, as a significant factor in encouraging action, on problem-solving and dealing with the problem, on support and reliance, on the system values and ideals it represents, a school for young people can be a ray of hope and a bright spot in case they find themselves in a situation that requires a personal, independent struggle with problems, risky and stressful situations of interpersonal relationships.
****Socialization and school****
**The process of socialization** is a mediation process through which children and new members of society learn about the way of life in a particular society, they are trained for independent living, they adapt to circumstances and specifics these social communities, adopt cultural patterns and thus shape themselves at the same time they also shape overall social behavior.
According to a narrower understanding, **socialization** is a process by which an individual or social groups integrate into their society and receive culture, and besides enable them to further develop and transmit it. From this understanding, it follows that in the process of socialization, tradition has a special role, since it is transmitted through it values of a certain culture, from one social group, one generation and one time to another group, a younger generation or a new time. It is about that component of a culture whose it is an important feature is the acceptance and transmission of already created and conquered cultural heritage, for which clearly has a conservative character. According to a broader understanding, socialization is they acquire qualities important for social life, and it does not have to be an acquisition of exclusively positive and socially useful traits, but also negative and socially harmful, such as intolerance, aggression, greed, etc.
The most important **factors of socialization** are a family, group of peers, school, relatives, and acquaintances with whom the person is in contact, organizations to which he belongs, marriage, professional activity and relations related to work, social status and role in society, belonging to different social groups, culture to which he belongs, social the system in which it develops, the mass media, etc.
****Justice in school****
Justice defined in the domain of education implies the environment in which persons have the opportunity to choose, in accordance with their development potentials, abilities, and talents, not on the basis of educational stereotypes, environmental expectations, and discrimination (European Commission, 2002).
**Justice is a dimension that ensures that there is no quality education provided only to some, but to all.** It encourages the provision of economic and social opportunities necessary for the development of students, regardless of their development potentials, gender, age, ethnic or racial affiliation, and social status.
**Equity in education** refers to the educational environment in which persons have the possibility of choosing in accordance with their development potentials, abilities, and talents, not on the basis of prejudice, educational stereotypes, environmental expectations and discrimination, which opens up economic and social opportunities, regardless of development potentials, gender, age, ethnic or racial affiliation, and social status (European Commission, 2002).
**Basic principles on which the socially just school is based**:
tolerance
multiculturalism
equality in education
the principle of equality
the principle of democracy
the principle of humanity
inclusion
human rights
child rights.
Is Black Friday a customer deception?
Black Friday in the world attracts a sea of shoppers to shopping malls, eager to shop at discounted prices and save some money. People save money all year round and look forward to discounts on Black Friday. Often the pictures are miles of lines in front of stores, waiting for stores to open, the crowds are huge. Therefore, this is the day of the year when a large turnover of money is realized. People then spend a large amount of money.
Black Friday is now known as a day when consumers can save big money on a variety of items, from appliances to shoes. Over the years, the amount spent on Black Friday has increased, with the total holiday shopping season of November and December seeing billions of dollars spent. In 2002, shoppers spent a total of $416.4 billion on holiday shopping. By 2019, that number was up 75%, to $730.2 billion.
A very interesting and exciting event that day, and let's see how Black Friday came about.
**The Black Friday history**
The day of the biggest discounts, which has its roots in America, where it is still the most popular today, is slowly but surely spreading around the world. "Black Friday" originates from America and is celebrated once a year, on the first Friday after Thanksgiving.
In fact, "Black Friday" was first associated with Friday, Sept. 24, 1869. Two speculators, Jay Gould and James Fisk created a boom and bust in gold prices. A stock market crash followed as prices fell 20%. The disruption in gold prices sent commodity prices plummeting 50%. Corruption in Tammany Hall allowed Gould and Fisk to escape without punishment.
With all the shopping activity that takes place the Friday after Thanksgiving, the day became one of the most profitable days of the year for retailers and businesses. Because accountants use black to signify profit when recording each day's book entries (and red to indicate a loss), the day became known as Black Friday—or the day when retailers see positive earnings and profits "in the black."
**How does Black Friday deceive customers?**
As the discounts lasted only a day, many customers grabbed the goods, at first sight, not wanting to drop them, but the consumer protection organization indicates that in that hurry, some of them may have fallen for the scam.
Traders and sellers make precise calculations before each sale and in order not to initiate discounts, they cannot profit.
It is possible for sellers to increase the price, so the one with the discount will actually be a completely regular price as on other days.
Keep in mind that this kind of sale definitely pays off for sellers, so they are by no means in the red. On the contrary, they generate huge revenues. **So do not fall for the inscriptions 20%, 40%, 50% discount.**
There are a lot of **fraudulent advertisements**, which citizens regularly complain about.
Before shopping and buying, every citizen must clearly check how much the goods cost before the discount and whether the purchase is worth it since there will be more announced seasonal discounts by the end of the year.
Since **online shopping** also brings with it certain pitfalls for consumers, they researched what to pay special attention to so that shopping, in the end, would not turn into an unpleasant experience.
The biggest mistake that customers make is that they don't see if they are on the original page of a certain brand, so they fall prey to offers within fake ads, which are placed primarily on social networks - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... They leave their personal data to fake traders, including those strictly confidential from a bank card, which are then used by fraudsters from the Internet in other transactions.
**Injuries during Black Friday**
Despite attempts to control a crowd of customers, injuries are not uncommon, usually as a result of pushing and large crowds.
A large number of people have been waiting in lines in front of stores every year since the early hours of the morning to be the first to buy the desired products, and conflicts are so common that there is a site that tracks injuries and deaths in the United States on this day.
In the last 12 years, **44 separate incidents** have been reported, resulting in **12 deaths** and **117 injuries**.
The majority of incidents (69 %) occurred in retail outlets, 20 percent at the entrance to the aisle, and 11 percent outside the store. The causes are different and are not limited to crowds, there were also shootings, stabs, punches, and even traffic accidents caused by drivers who fell asleep behind the wheel after a long day of shopping.
**The first death was recorded in 2008** when a 34-year-old Walmart chain worker died when a crowd of angry customers broke down the front door and broke into the store. Four injuries were recorded in that incident, among them women in the eighth month of pregnancy.
In 2008, there was a shooting in a toy store in California, when two people were killed.
Black Friday in 2012 marked a tragic event, when a man, after a whole day of shopping and only three hours of sleep in a 24-hour period, caused a car accident in which his two daughters were killed. Namely, four daughters were "squeezed" on the seat intended for three, the victims did not have a seat belt, and a bigger tragedy was avoided by sheer luck. According to the police report, the third row of seats in the car was lowered so that the family could pack everything they bought that day.
**In the last few years**, injuries are even more common, people openly enter into physical conflict over the desired item from the store. You can find a bunch of videos on YouTube of people fighting and getting hurt during a stampede.
**Tips for shopping during Black Friday**
Check the prices before Black Friday and compare them with the prices on the day of the discount
Plan in advance what you need to buy
Don’t fall for discounts and don’t buy what you don’t need
When shopping online, take care to shop on verified sites
Beware of crowds and possible injuries during shopping.
**What are your tips when shopping during Black Friday? Do you manage to buy something with a good discount?**
7 lies about your vagina
The vagina is often a taboo subject and people don't talk a lot about vaginas. Today we break down some of the most common myths about the vagina. Let's see what are the most common lies that people believe.
**Lie no 1:** **Discharge is disgusting**
**True:** **DISCHARGE IS NORMAL** and not something disgusting. You know how you might have a white stain on your pants? That is normal, it is something your body does to clean and moisturise your vagina. That is lovely!
**Lie no 2:** **Your vagina should not smell**
**True: VAGINAS SMELL**, let's just accept that. The smell is totally natural and can change depending on time of month, what you eat, hormones etc. But, it is normal! Anyone who shames you for it, does not deserve to be near it. (Please be aware of the smell that indicates some diseases)
**Lie no 3:** **It has to be tight**
**True: VAGINAS ARE MUSCLES**, they stretch, move and get wider without becoming loose. Don't use a "vagina tightening cream", they are dangerous and completely unnecessary. If you want to do something to help after having a baby, do some Kegel exercises.
**Lie no 4:** **You have to wash it**
**True: VAGINAS ARE SELF CLEANING!** That is amazing, right? You don't have to wash it from inside. Please, trow away your "vaginal wash", because you really don't need it. Vaginas will smell and produce liquid, but that is all good stuff, not something you should wash away. Don't fall for those "cleaning" vaginal products such as perfumed wipes or gels, as those will throw off your pH balance.
**Lie no 5:** **There is a perfect vagina**
**True: ALL VAGINAS ARE PERFECT.** There is not "normal" or "perfect" vagina. The vulvas we seen in movies and porn only represent one of the million beautiful vulvas out there. Skin color changes, labias change, skin texture can change, and it is all beautiful.
**Lie no 6:** **All girls have vaginas**
**True:** Gender can seem confusing, but simply put, some people are born with the genitals that match their gender and some are not. It does not have to be complicated, and quiet honestly, **someone else's genitals are none of our business!**
**Lie no 7:** **The G-spot doesn’t exist**
**True:** Yes, **the G-spot exists**. If you can't find it, study the anatomy better and work harder.

Second, I want to make my position clear when it comes to abortion.
**Abortion is not a form of contraception.**
**Also, abortion is a health care and personal choice.**
I would now turn my attention to the ****opponents of abortion****.
The source of their arguments against abortion are different, but the arguments are to **fight for the life** of a baby who is in a pregnant womb.
I must say that there are so many hypocrites among them. This hypocrisy is reflected in the superficiality of their struggle for the baby’s life. We need to know the difference between ****pro-life**** and ****pro-birth**** people attitudes.
****Pro-birth**** **is only concerned that the child be born. There is no concern for the child’s medical condition after birth, the ability of the parents to support and care for the child, that the child’s needs be met, or that the child be born into a safe and loving home. The entire focus, all of it, is on the idea that the woman should be forced to give birth no matter the circumstances, and no matter what suffering the child will experience after birth. Pro-birth people are only concerned with life between conception and birth. They don’t care what happens after that and definitely don’t care about the life of the pregnant woman.**
****Pro-life**** **takes all of these factors into consideration. There is focus on ensuring that the child after birth will receive any medical care that it needs, and a willingness to allow the child not to be born if it has medical conditions incompatible with life outside of the womb, because the goal is to prevent suffering, not simply force birth. True pro life also shows concern for the child throughout its life, not only up until birth. Will the child be properly fed? Clothed? Housed? Educated? Will the child be wanted and loved? While true pro life doesn’t have to support abortion in these cases, the belief does support ideas that are shown to prevent abortion, such as access to birth control and medically accurate comprehensive sex education, as well as policies that support children once they’re born, like public education programs and strong safety net programs that help women provide for the children they give birth to. Abuse prevention is also part of a true pro life platform.**
**I need to ask you a few questions:**
What if the pregnancy is the result of rape?
What if an anomaly of fetus is detected?
What if childbirth can endanger a woman's health?
What if there are no economic conditions for raising a child?
What if contraceptives have failed?
What if a woman just doesn't want to be a mother?
If you don know what "queer" is, learn here:

**WHO ARE LGBTQ PEOPLE?** https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/who-are-lgbtq-people-58a41df3
In **Poland**, **abortion has been banned** by the government, even in cases where a fetal anomaly is detected. Women will be forced to give birth to children with abnormalities or to have abortions illegally. **Illegal abortions** are not safe for a woman's health and life.
See the following pictures. These are primarily women, but also men, who **fight together for the basic right of a woman to decide about her body.**
The protest is massive and lasts for days. **Huge support for women in Poland.**
A message to the president of Poland and every man who thinks women should not have right to make a decision about her body and pregnancy:
Also, you can do this:
**Women have the right to decide about their body, about their pregnancy, they have the right to have abortion if they want.**
**Be human rights activists, support oppressed people in any way you can.**
7 Myths and Facts about abortion
The discussion on **abortion** is always heated and full of arguments on both sides. Some people **support abortion** , some people are **against** **abortion**. In this article you can read a couple of misconceptions and truths about abortion.
**Read on and feel welcome to leave your arguments and opinions in the comments section.**
**MYTH**: People will regret it later.
**FACT**: The Turnaway Study conducted by the University of California San Francisco and Columbia University analyzed at data regarding 667 women across 21 states. This study showed that 99% of woman say they feel relief, not regret after five years of getting an abortion.
**MYTH**: Abortions are linked to mental health problems.
**FACT**: According to American Psychological Association: people who are denied an abortion are more likely to initially experience higher anxiety levels, lower self-esteem than a woman who experienced an abortion. Also, undergoing unwanted pregnancies appears to be strongly associated with poor mental health effects for people later in life.
**MYTH**: Abortion leads to infertility and breast cancer.
**FACT**: All medical procedures carry a variety of risk factors. However, abortion does not automatically harm fertility. A safely conducted abortion does not correspond with infertility and breast cancer.
**MYTH**: Abortion kills an unborn child and is morally wrong.
**FACT**: Within the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is not an autonomous being. During the time-window in which more abortions are carried through, the fetus is not viable, meaning it can not survive outside the womb, even with medical support. Using inflated words such as "killing" and "murder" is flawed because it equalizes an embryo with an actual person. It then equates the embryo with the rights of a person who is already developed, fully alive, living in the world today and who can make decisions for themselves. Overall, morals are subjective, there are no scientific or medical facts that can be used to argue that abortions are morally wrong.
**MYTH**: Pregnancy is always preventable.
**FACT**: Even if one were to take all the contraceptives actions, there is still a chance of an unplanned pregnancy. Some people do not always have access to birth control, to begin with. Condoms, plan b, birth control etc. do not always work. A lot of schools lack proper and educational lessons circling sexual education as well. Some individuals are born into families that neglect the discussions surrounding safe sex entirely and completely forbid it. Pregnancy is never 100% preventable, and different people live under different conditions.
**MYTH**: Abortions are not safe.
**FACT**: Safe, legal abortions conducted by qualified medical professionals are safe. Illegal abortions are unsafe.
**MYTH**: Only certain types of people have unplanned pregnancies and abortions.
**FACT**: People of all ages, incomes, socio-economic backgrounds, religions, sexualities have unplanned pregnancies and abortions.
BCH risk and potential
**Bitcoin Cash (BCH)** is a fork of the original bitcoin, created in **August 2017**. It is very similar to bitcoin, but some innovations make it a faster and cheaper network to use. It is the fifth largest cryptocurrency in the world, with a capitalization of 4 billion dollars.
BCH was created in a process called Hard Fork, which involves dividing one cryptocurrency into two. The reason for the division was the disagreement of the community regarding the size of the blocks that would be good for bitcoin. Namely, the processing capacity of bitcoin transactions is low, about 7 transactions per second. In 2017, it was even lower.
**One current block can hold up to ≈3,000 transactions**, and a new block is mined every **≈10 minutes**.
During the period when bitcoin is used a lot, the network becomes clogged, because there are more transactions waiting to be processed than places in the next block.
In the time of bitcoin mania, it happens that **200,000 transactions are waiting** to be processed at the same time. This situation slows down the network a lot. It also makes it more expensive, because senders compete to get their transaction processed as quickly as possible, so they offer more money to miners for processing. The community has long debated increasing blocks as a potential solution to increase network capacity.
****∆∆∆ How does Bitcoin cache work?****
Each BCH transaction must be added to the **blockchain** in order to be considered successful. The job of validating transactions and adding to blockchain is done by miners and nodes, their powerful computers connected to a network. **Miners** spend a lot of processing power and electricity to get financial rewards. If they manage to "dig up" or connect one block of valid transactions on time, they receive a **reward of 6.25 BCH**. In addition, they receive fees from the senders of all transactions that they have included in that block. Thus, like BTC, BCH is issued on the basis of a process called “**proof of work” (PoW), in the form of rewards given to** miners.
The issuance of new units of bitcoin cache is limited. It is considered **inflation** and is 1.72% annually. Inflation is halved every 4 years, which means a reduction in rewards for miners. After the next halving, inflation will be only 0.86% per year.
****∆∆∆ How much BCH already exists in the world?****
New units of this cryptocurrency will be issued until the final number of **21,000,000** is reached. So, that mean that
**88% of its BCH that will ever exist has already been mined**
**The last** **BCH should not be mined until around 2140.**
After that, transaction fees will be the only source of income for the miners.
****∆∆∆ Potential risk and BCH****
Risks related to Bitcoin cash Miners are currently providing a Bitcoin cash network with 2,495 ehash / s. Although this processing power is 50x less compared to Bitcoin, it is higher compared to other cryptocurrencies that are mined. BCH has dedicated miners, as well as the support of large farms like bitmain, so the amount of process power is quite stable.
However, **it is not enough to prevent a potential short-term 51% attack**. A more serious 51% attack would, in combination with the so-called double-spending, harmed the stock exchanges trading BCH the most.
In addition to double spending, an attacker could prevent certain transactions from being confirmed. The damage that would be done to the cryptocurrency's reputation would also be significant.
BCH was **attacked** by reorganizing the blocks on **May 15, 2019**, during a regular update. Then there was a poorly executed implementation that was supposed to recover the mistakenly sent BCH from Segwit, and in fact opened up space for theft. The "war of miners" followed, who reorganized the blocs by trying to steal someone else's BCH. One part of the stolen BCH was returned to its rightful owners, thanks to the efforts of large pools to dig up a longer chain.
There is still controversy over whether there was a 51% attack or reorganization of the blocs. BCH is regularly updated (hard forked) twice a year.
**This attack showed how risky it can be**. The developers said they do not intend to carry out two invasive updates a year forever. It is only a current measure at this stage of development.
****∆∆∆ The potential of Bitcoin cash****
Bitcoin cache can process a much larger number of transactions per second than the Bitcoin network, which means that **it is faster and cheaper to send BCH** than BTC. It is great for transactions, because no matter how much money is sent, a fee less than a cent is usually paid. In addition to sending transactions, Bitcoin cash developers are working to build new functionality on smart contracts.
**Their goal is to build as many types of tokens and decentralized applications on it as possible.**
Additional solutions are being developed to increase the scalability of Bitcoin cache.
**The goal is to create a network that can process as many transactions as possible in the future.**
To achieve this, in addition to the implemented Schnorr signatures, developers are also developing solutions for faster block propagation and blockchain cropping. Using mass parallelization, they will try to **raise the** **number of possible transactions per second to over 5 million**. They want to reach a level at which stores will be able to consider the transaction safe enough after only 3 seconds, that they can treat it as if it "passed". More and more online and physical stores, as well as other providers of services and goods, are accepting Bitcoin cash as a means of payment.
****∆∆∆ The price of BCH****
The value of cryptocurrencies is very volatile and depends on many factors. Some factors are related to individual cryptocurrencies, and some to the global market.
**Highest price of $ 4,355 in December 2017,** at the same time as BTC was worth $ 20,089.
This was followed by a big drop in the prices of all cryptocurrencies on the market.
**BCH hit rock bottom at $ 75.**
It currently sells for $ 244. The return of confidence in the potential of this cryptocurrency can be noticed through the record volume of BCH trading this year compared to all previous ones.
**What are your predictions?**
**What value will BCH reach in 2021?**
**Will you invest and hold?**

The most important advice - how to prevent rape🤔
At the very beginning of this article, we need to get familiar with the term "rape".
**Rape** is the crime of forcing a person to have sexual intercourse with severe physical and emotional consequences. Rape is one of the more serious forms of sexual violence.
**Rape** is the vaginal, anal or oral penetration of a sexual nature on the body of another person without his or her consent, using any part of the body or object. (Source: wikipedia).

**∆∆∆ Now pay attention**!
Here is the most important advice on **how to prevent rape:**
You may have expected advice on how to protect yourself, how to dress decently, not to drink alcohol, not to walk the dark streets, and so on. BUT, NO! I won't tell you things like that. The reason is simple:
**THE VICTIM IS NOT GUILTY!**
**THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME IS THE RAPIST!**
**∆∆∆** Instead of educating girls not to be raped, you can **teach boys not to rape.** Instead of telling girls how to dress and how to behave, you better **teach boys to respect girls** and not to sexualize them. Boys must learn that girls have their integrity and their personality, and that they are not anyone's property. Educate the boys that **girls are not obliged to have sex with them**. Teach children and teens about sexual consent.
**Sexual consent** is an agreement to participate in sexual activity.
**Without consent, sexual activity (including oral sex, genital touching, and vaginal or anal penetration) is sexual assault or rape.**
I went into more detail about sexual consent earlier in my article, so if you want to remind yourself or learn more about it, click on this link -------->>>
**SEXUAL CONSENT** https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/sexual-consent-2edc6bfe
**These adequately educated boys will grow into men who will respect women and will not be violent towards them and abuse them**
Through family upbringing, raising, home education, and school education, we can adequately educate boys/men and thus reduce the number of future rapists.

**Satoshi Nakamoto had a vision to share with the world — a protocol he called “bitcoin, a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer to peer, with no trusted third party.”**
The problem lies in the vision of Satoshi:
- **Not your keys**;
- **Not your bitcoin**,
that is: **do not trust banks**. But you must know that bitcoin is philosophically made as a **resistance to the new world order. So, bitcoin is resistance to the system, resistance to the new world order.**
Vision was to lose confidence in the "banking system". Why do we have to trust the banking system at all? Psychologically, Satoshi himself has made an impact on all of humanity by giving people a choice but with a subconscious note of “**why trust the system**”?

Fight against gender inequality like these boys!
For several days now, students in a school in Quebec have been wearing skirts to school to point out the hypersexualization of women's bodies through girls' clothes.
**The boys have joined the fight against gender inequality!**
**Well done boys! Awesome move**!
Did they tell you that skirts and dresses are for girls and pants are for boys?
Did they convince you that pink is only for girls and blue exclusively for boys?
If you’re a girl, have you ever wished you had a sweatshirt that’s “for boys”?
If you are a girl, did you ever want a toy car or a toy gun, and they didn't want to buy you because "that toy is not for girls"?
If you're a boy, did you want to play with dolls and barbies, but they told you "it's for girls"?
I have to tell you that **colors have nothing to do with gender**. You can wear the colors you want, it says nothing about your gender. Feel free to buy all colors for both, boys and girls.
Also, I have to say the same for toys. **Toys have nothing to do with gender.** Do not push children into one mold. Girls can play with toy cars and toy guns. Also, boys can play with dolls and with kitchen toys.
Let the children play and explore.
-->Don’t impose fiction on them in a gender roll set by patriarchy. Let the children choose and don't set stupid limits for them.
Also, you adults, reject false beliefs!
One more thing, it is **completely normal** for a man to cook, wash dishes, vacuum, clean the hoise. It is perfectly normal for a woman to drive a taxi, be it a pilot or a soldier.

Internacional Lesbian day
International Lesbian Day is celebrated on **October 8** around the world, because on this day in **1904**, for the first time, attention was drawn to lesbian issues, rights and invisibility.
On that date, German journalist **Anna Ruling** gave a speech in Berlin on lesbian rights, entitled "**What are the advantages of the women's movement from resolving the homosexual issue?"**. Ruling sharply criticized the women's movement for not participating in the fight against the oppression of lesbians and drew attention to the need for cooperation within the LGBT community.

**Definition of lesbians**:
A lesbian is a homosexual woman.
A woman whose enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction is to other women. Some lesbians may prefer to identify as gay or as gay women.
This day is important because it draws attention to the **visibility** problems of lesbians. Despite the fact that we think we live in a modern society, lesbians cannot get many human rights.
The biggest problem they face is that homosexuality is banned in some countries and the punishments are terrible. Lesbians often experience various forms of discrimination, and even experience psychological and physical violence by homophobes.
In some countries they cannot marry their partners. I can't exercise many of my rights, heterosexual couples can.
**All people are equal** and everyone should have the same rights. We need to fight against discrimination and violence.
**Education** is the most important, so try to positively influence the people around you. We must all keep trying to make the world tolerant and inclusive.
Always remember that:
**Love is love**.

Gender inequality - double standards story in 7 pictures
Just two friends chating....
Personally, I have experienced this type of conversation many times.
**What makes a woman less valuable because of the same thing a man does, while a man gets points?**
**Have you experienced such double standards?** I would be happy if you share experiences and opinions on this topic with me and the RC community.
I want to emphasize that the double standards are a **consequence of the ruling patriarchy and the centuries old restraint and humiliation of women**. We must fight injustice, we must **fight for gender equality. Fight for feminism.**
Thank you for your time :)
Brutal ritual: Mothers "iron" girl's breasts
A brutal ritual called "**ironing the breast**" is performed on girls in **Cameroon**, **Nigeria** and **South Africa**, and as members of the people who still "nurture" this tradition say, **they do it to protect their girls from rape and sexual abuse**.
According to the United Nations, this act affected 3.8 million women worldwide. In the process, large stones, a hammer or a spatula are used, which are heated and then pressed to the chest. Through this process, members of the people claim, adolescent girls look less feminine.
**How does it work?**
It often starts when the girl is about eight or nine years old. Their family will **wrap tight elastic bandages** around their chest. They tighten them at night, sometimes during the day, too.
Another technique is **massaging the breasts with hot instruments**. The assumption is that heating these tools and pressing them on the girls will melt the fat, which is completely insane. They use a wide variety of things in this process: **pestles, wooden sticks, spatulas, spoons, and rocks**. Most of the objects tend to belong to either their mothers or grandmothers.
Object you sow in previous pictures are used to stop breasts to grow, girls are massaged with hot stones or wooden spatulas in order to delay their first sexual experience.
**WHY???**
The theory is that if your breasts don’t grow, you won’t attract men. Mothers do this in the hope that it will help their daughters to continue their education. If they are not attractive to anyone, they will not marry too soon. From the age of 8 or 9, they start tying their breasts with bandages, which they wear all day, even at school. If the bandage does not work enough, switch to other tools such as a pestle, stick, spatula, spoon, stone, which are used hot.
**Who does that to girls?**
This unusual **ritual is performed only by other women**, either at home or under the supervision of a vidar.
In 58 percent of cases, **the perpetrators are mothers, which makes them primary abusers**. In this way, they believe, they also prevent premature pregnancy. Mothers often allow this ritual to remove the signs of puberty so that their daughters can continue their education, rather than consider them ready for marriage. However, this is considered covert abuse. Breast ironing is often a well-kept secret between mother and daughter. Fathers are often unaware of it. Girls believe that their mothers do it for their own good and keep quiet. Therefore, there are no consequences.
**-SAVE THE GIRLS ! SAVE THE GIRLS!-**
A quarter of the girls in Cameroon experienced this physical and mental aggression. Thanks to numerous associations, this number is declining. This results in breasts that are of different sizes, mutilated and girls who have suffered great mental pain and not understanding traditions that have not brought them anything good.
Fight against this kind of girls abuse need to be cooperated with police, social services, doctors and schools to raise awareness of "breast ironing". Because of this act, girls have a large number of health problems, and they can also get cancer. They are often left completely without breasts.
The consequences are often catastrophic for health: cysts, breast cancer, problems with breastfeeding, but also on the psyche.
Have you heard of this cruel custom and violence against girls?
Is this happening in your country?
How do we fight this?
The basic human rights of girls and women have been violated, this is physical and mental torture. Human Rights Community:

Human rights - new community
What are the Human rights?
**Human rights** are the fundamental rights of every person, acquired by birth, inalienable and indivisible, inherent in all human beings, regardless of nationality, residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, skin color, religion, language, or any other status.
Human rights are the **basic rights** and **freedoms** that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death.
They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life.
They can never be taken away, although they can sometimes be restricted – for example if a person breaks the law, or in the interests of national security.
These basic rights are based on shared values like **dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence.**
**The Universal Declaration of Human Rights**
These values of human rights are defined and protected by law.
The **Universal Declaration of Human Rights** is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948. as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.
**Article 1** of Universal Declaration of Human Rights says:
**All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.**
You can read more on official website of United Nations.
**How do human rights help you?**
Human rights are relevant to all of us, not just those who face repression or mistreatment.
They protect you in many areas of your day-to-day life, including:
your right to live
your right to freedom
your right to have and express your own opinions
your right to an education
your right to health care
your right to a private and family life
your right not to be mistreated or wrongly punished by the state or other person
your right not to be victim of various crimes
much more...
Although human rights are guaranteed by law, we often find many cases of human rights violations and disrespect. This happens in both developed and less developed countries. Everyone's basic human rights can be endangered, and the most common victims are women, children, ethnic and racial minorities, people of non-heterosexual orientation, the poor, people from poor countries.
Disregard and violations of human rights is a huge injustice that happens both locally and globally. Human lives, human freedom, dignity, and equality are violated.
This is an injustice and a crime that must not happen. That is why **I stand for equality and respect for every human being on planet earth.**
**I am a human rights activist, educator and fighter**.
In order to better inform and educate the entire community at @Read.Cash about human rights,
I founded a **new community**: Human rights. https://read.cash/c/human-rights-94ca
I invite you to **join** and **publish your articles** in this community. Everything related to human rights, laws, principles, actions, educational content, examples of human rights violations and abuses, forms of discrimination, racism, homophobia, violence, lack of education, as well as proposals and solutions to solve problem of discrimination are welcome. The area is very wide.
I will **UPVOTE** all good articles published in this new community, because education about human rights is so important.
Also, in comment you can put link to your old article about human rights or similar, and I will make a list of good written, educational and useful articles and put in on of my next article, with your name below.

Breastfeeding in public - huge support!
Breastfeeding in a public place in modern times causes a lot of controversy, although it is clear how healthy breastfeeding is for both the baby and the mother.
The basic criticism of breastfeeding in public is based on the fact that it is uncomfortable for the environment to see a naked breast natural, others are ashamed and afraid of the condemnation of society, which is still strong when it comes to breastfeeding in public. In some countries it is allowed, while in some it is strictly forbidden. In countries like America, Canada even prohibits discrimination against breastfeeding mothers in public by law.
You’ll probably think I’m exaggerating and that’s not really a problem. Most people think that it is the choice of the mother who can breastfeed in public or not, it can be covered while breastfeeding in public or not, the choice is up to the mother. The choice is up to the mother, but what will influence her decision is the environment in which she lives. A mother who has decided to breastfeed in public has to fight the established thoughts that have been present for years, she has to fight against herself and her upbringing.
We are mostly raised in such a way that we consider breasts inappropriate, dishonorable and an object that must be covered in any case so that no man would accidentally see them. And while you are breastfeeding in the middle of a crowded street, with a baby breastfeeding and enjoying, you are watching every passerby and waiting for the one who will say something to you, shout, look at you ugly. You hear your mother telling you to cover yourself, that what you are doing is inappropriate, to challenge men.
As I said at the beginning, **the problem is in the society that raised us to look at some things the wrong way.** Society and the media are the ones that influence our view of most things. From an upbringing that is crucial, from a Catholic environment that is conservative and sometimes very exclusive to a medium that has sexualized women’s breasts and turned them into an object that serves to meet men’s needs.
Women's breasts are mostly associated with half-naked starlets, porn movies and magazines, and with sexy lingerie models who shout at us from every commercial that our breasts must look sexy for our man. The fact is that women’s breasts are completely sexualized, the whole view of women’s breasts is wrong. We women look at them wrong. Men, the whole society, look at them wrongly, and worst of all, we teach our children wrong.
****Babies are hungry and they can't wait!****
****Breastfeeding is normal and natural!****
****There is no a reason to be ashamed!****
****Stop sexualizing women and her breast!****
****Stop being cynical!****
**Support to all mothers and support to breastfeeding!** **You are all beautiful!**
What about new option on RC???
Hello, dear RC members!
I have been a member of the @Read.Cash for a month now, I have learned about its possibilities and options. I am very pleased with the simple look and easy of handling and moving through the platform.
However, I would like to suggest the a new option for @Read.Cash . New option would be the ability to put **polls** into an article.
**What is the poll?**
A poll is a mini survey of one question that may be published to quickly measure public opinion about a topic at a specific moment.
It is a perfect tools for inviting your audience to speak their minds.
The answers may help you to make the necessary adjustments to your future articles and to prepare the right content for your subscribers and readers.
**What are the advantages of polls?**
****Starting a conversation****: Good way to engage with your audience and to start communication with them. People like it when somebody cares about their opinion.
****Easy and fast:**** Create poll will be easy, in no time and start receiving feedback from the very moment you publish it to your subscribers.
****Innovative ideas:**** Seeing opinion of your readers can help you to improve your work. They may be experiencing issues that you are not aware of, or give you new ideas you wouldn’t have thought of.
****No pressure:**** People will respond to your poll at the time they consider appropriate, without a time limit and without anyone who can distort their response.
****Satisfaction:**** Knowing the level of satisfaction of your readers is essential to growing your account and moving in the right direction.
****Statistical results****: The analysis of results will be quick and the results will be displayed in percentages that will help you to know the preferences of the majority at just one glimpse.
**Poll example:**
My suggestion is to be a poll with two to a maximum of 4 closed options offered. Something similar to the following image:
Poll results may be visible immediately or after a while. An example of a poll result might look like this:
I hope that admins of @Read.Cash will read and consider this idea.
**So, what do you think? Would this be a good option? Do you think polls would improve writing articles and communicating with readers? Will** @Read.Cash **gain in quality by introducing polls?**

Hello, dear members of the RC. You are used to me usually writing about endangered human rights and about topics that are rarely talked about.
Today a topic that everyone is talking about. Cryptocurrencies!
I want to talk to you about TRON (TRX).
Tron is a blockchain-based decentralized operating system much like Ethereum. Tron is a smart contract platform that offers high throughput, high scalability, and high availability for all Decentralized Applications (DApps) in the TRON ecosystem. The Tron blockchain is built around the usability of its native token, Tronix (TRX).
The Tron blockchain was created by Tron Foundation, a Singapore based organization that is currently headed by Justin Sun. Prior to creating the Tron Foundation, Sun founded Peiwo, an app that aspires to be the Asian Snapchat. This app got Sun into the 2017 Forbes 30 under 30 list. Tron came about after a successful ICO which raised over $70 million in September 2017.

Myths and facts about rape
First, let me remind you what is RAPE and SEXUAL ASSAULT. Also, pleas read what is SEXUAL CONSENT and why is so important. https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/sexual-assault-and-rape-cdb23fb1 https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/sexual-consent-2edc6bfe
Prejudice often shifts the blame from the rapist to the victim :( .
Unfortunately, these beliefs are widespread and often, through the media and the reactions of institutions, family, and friends, are reinforced in women who have survived sexual violence. Understanding and dismissing myths is crucial to supporting women who have survived sexual violence.
**PLEASE, read and think. DONT LOOK AWAY! It's important!**
**MYTH**: Rape is caused by the rapist's uncontrolled sex drive.
**FACT**: Rape is an act of violence, proving power and control, not sex. The rapist's goal is to humiliate the woman and completely take away her personal power. Rapes are mostly planned and carried out by intimate friends, acquaintances, family members, or strangers when the opportunity arises.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
**MYTH**: The victim "asked for what she got" because she was seductive, careless, drunk, drugged, etc.
**FACT**: No one wants to be abused, hurt, or humiliated. People of all ages, all social positions were the targets of sexual abuse. Ninety percent of all rapes are planned in advance. The attacker often carries a weapon or threatens to kill the victim if he resists.
**MYTH**: Most rapists are unknown to the victims.
**FACT**: Most rapes are committed by someone the victim knows: a neighbor, friend, acquaintance, colleague, schoolmate, husband, partner, or ex-partner. Strangers are responsible for only one of the five rapes. Approximately 28% of victims were raped by husbands and boyfriends, 35% by acquaintances, and 5% by other close persons.
**MYTH**: Most rapes happen in parks, dark streets, and in the middle of the night.
**FACT**: Most rapes (over 60% of cases) take place in a known area - in the apartment of a woman or perpetrator, and the rapist is in most cases a known person. Rapes happen in equal numbers day and night.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
**MYTH**: Rapists are mentally ill or psychotic and cannot be restrained.
**FACT**: There is no “typical” rapist. The men who raped belong to all socioeconomic classes, nations, and races. They are often respectable, rich, and powerful people, not "people from the margins", drunkards, homeless people, the sick, and cannot be recognized by their specific behavior. Very few rapists are mentally incompetent and/or out of touch with reality. Most rapes are planned.
**MYTH**: Women lie about sexual abuse to save their reputation or to take revenge on the partner who left them.
**FACT**: Sexual violence is a crime that in a huge number of cases is not reported. Women are more likely to lie and say that they were not sexually abused, due to feelings of guilt and fear of further abuse or harassment and blackmail.
It is estimated that only 26% of all rapes or attempted rapes are reported to the police. Experiences are different in different settings. Thus, one of the most detailed studies conducted on a representative sample of 12,300 women in Canada showed that only 1 in 20 cases of all forms of sexual violence were reported. The number of false reports of rape is not higher than the number of other falsely reported crimes and is 2%.
**MYTH**: If the victims had not drunk, they would not have been sexually abused.
**FACT**: Alcohol is a weapon that some rapists use to control their victims and to make them powerless. As part of his plan, the rapist will encourage the victim to drink or identify the person who is already drunk. Alcohol is not the cause of rape, it is just one of the many weapons that rapists use.
Of the men who confessed to raping, 75% said they sometimes drank women to increase the likelihood of sexual intercourse.
--------------------------------------------------------------
**MYTH**: If the victim did not physically oppose or fight the attacker, it was not rape.
**FACT**: The attackers are not looking for a fight. They use many forms of coercion, threats, and manipulation to rape. Alcohol and drugs are often used to incapacitate victims.
In 87% of rape cases, a threat to a woman's life is involved, and in 50% of cases, there is a threat to a weapon. Some criminal laws define sexual violence as what constitutes the perpetrator, not the victim.
--------------------------------------------------------------
**MYTH**: Men cannot be raped.
**FACT**: Men can and are sexually abused as boys and as adults.
One in six boys will be sexually abused until they are sixteen.
------------------------------------------------------------------
**MYTH**: There is no rape in marriage. Sexual intercourse with a husband is a marital duty.
**FACT**: A married woman is not owned by a man. Any sexual activity against a woman's will is also rape.

Sexual consent
First, let me remind you what is rape and sexual assault. Please read my previous articles about this and think about it. https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/sexual-assault-and-rape-cdb23fb1
**Consent** - Permission for something to happen or agreement to do something.
**Sexual consent** is an agreement to participate in sexual activity. Before being sexual with someone, you need to know if they want to be sexual with you too.
Consenting and **asking for consent** is all about setting your personal boundaries and respecting those of your partner — and checking in if things aren’t clear. Both people must agree to sex — every single time — for it to be consensual.
**Without consent, sexual activity** (including oral sex, genital touching, and vaginal or anal penetration) **is sexual assault or rape.**
Consent is never implied by things like your past behavior, what you wear, or where you go. Sexual consent is always clearly communicated — there should be no question or mystery. **Silence is not consent**. And it’s not just important the first time you’re with someone. Couples who’ve had sex before or even ones who’ve been together for a long time also need to consent before sex — every time.
There are laws about who can consent and who can’t. People who are drunk, high, or passed out can’t consent to sex. There are also laws to protect minors (people under the age of 18) from being pressured into sex with someone much older than them.
Sexual assault and rape
**Rape, sexual assault, and sexual abuse** can have different legal definitions. In general, rape, sexual assault, and sexual abuse are forms of violence in which there is sexual contact without consent — including vaginal or anal penetration, oral sex, and genital touching.
Anyone can be a **victim** — no matter their gender, sexual orientation, or age. But certain groups of people are more likely than others to experience sexual assault in their lives. Women, LGBT identified people, and people with developmental disabilities are more likely to experience sexual assault over the course of their lifetimes. https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/who-are-lgbtq-people-58a41df3
**A rapist** is a person who commits rape. There is no excuse for rapists and there is no excuse for rapists. They deserve to be punished by law.
In this picture, you can see the statistics of the relationship between the rapist and the victim.
Rape is a crime! The victim is innocent and the victim is never responsible for the rape crime. A rapist is the monster and needs to be punished.

Harassment on work, part II - How to fight
Dear co-workers, in the previous article there was talk of harassment in the workplace. We have learned how to define and what types of harassment exist.
You can read the first part here --->
Workplace harassment (part I). https://read.cash/@AngryKoala/workplace-harassment-part-i-6e486318
Now, the most important thing.
****What can we do about harassment at work?****
First, you need to **educate yourself**, to know what harassment is at work and what its forms are (check the link at the beginning of this article).
Then, using this knowledge, you **recognize the harassment** at work. This applies both when you are a victim yourself and when someone else is a victim.
Once you have identified the existence of harassment, **your reaction** is needed. Ask yourself what can you do? Look at the situation from all sides. Think about your options.
-Can you ask a co-worker for help?
-Is there a psychological service within the company that you can turn to for help?
-Can you ask a superior or manager for help?
-Can you seek help from the company's legal department?
-If necessary, you can hire a personal lawyer.
**Keep a few things in mind:**
**Harassment on work does not stop on its own.**
**Bully by no means wants to be exposed in what he does.**
**To save yourself from mobbing and mobbing, you have to fight.**
**Harassment at work is punishable by law.**
**Don't be quiet when you're a victim, don't look away when someone else is a victim.**
**===============================================================**
**How do you handle situations like this?**
**Do you find this article useful?**
