Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

We don't know what she's still protesting, but we're all sure it's righteous.

[–]MsManifesto 88 points89 points ago

She was at the Unite Against the War on Women rally (happened in April, at least one rally or march in every state, and was organized by this group). The sign is alluding to abortion rights, since many women prior to Roe vs. Wade in 1973 protested for the right to safe and legal abortions.

[–]Blackscales 27 points28 points ago

I think it's for woman's rights. Not gays as the post above said.

[–]thegreatgazoo 27 points28 points ago

End Women's Suffrage Now!

[–]Crim91 1 point2 points ago

What's the rush?

[–]thegreatgazoo 14 points15 points ago

Women have been suffraging for way too long.

I wonder what that kid is up to?

[–]DragonRaptor 2 points3 points ago

No, she is protesting abortions.

[–]nick10key -1 points0 points ago

she looks like she has gone through menopause already.

[–]arkington 10 points11 points ago

well, she seems to be dressed as a suffragist...

[–]Untz234 -1 points0 points ago

Quickly, imagine this with her protesting the worst thing ever

[–]Torncano -1 points0 points ago

The right for polygamous marriage.

[–]Samuel_Gompers 34 points35 points ago

This is a prohibition rally, right?

Edit: Yep...confirmed.

[–]infestedzeratul 8 points9 points ago

liquor; thy name is delirium.

[–]Fidena 1 point2 points ago

Lips that touch liquor shall not touch mine!

[–]aptadnauseum -1 points0 points ago

Lips that touch wine shall never touch mine.

[–]Samuel_Gompers 1 point2 points ago

Stand up for prohibition,

ye patriots of the land!

For ye who love your country

against the drink should stand!

Behold against this traffic

your country's greatest foe!

Let word and deed and ballot

proclaim, "saloons must go!"

[–]missnarwhal 0 points1 point ago

Close, but no cigar. She's dressed like a suffragette

[–]Samuel_Gompers 1 point2 points ago

I would take a picture with the cigar I am currently smoking, but that is, alas, not an option.

[–]Mohaver11 3 points4 points ago

[–]Unlucky13 25 points26 points ago

I'm pretty sure she got that sign idea from this sign which was from a protest in Richmond, Va earlier this year. I made that sign along with this one.

I was one of the main organizers for the protests at the VA capital this year in Richmond.

[–]lily1346 4 points5 points ago

High five for VA and for adding your voice to our cause!

[–]RecursionIsRecursion 1 point2 points ago

Why is the microphone aimed at her sign?

[–]Schaafwond 2 points3 points ago

Because the sign speaks to me.

[–]Qbert_Spuckler 4 points5 points ago

badass? What is she protesting? The answer would determine if she is badass or not...

[–]alezul 7 points8 points ago

That's funny, because i saw this earlier today on reddit(i think the title mentioned having to argue about gay rights or something). I'm guessing he saw it here as well and now you made a silly circle of reposting.

[–]mrsdale 11 points12 points ago

I don't care if I've seen this before--that woman is badass as hell, and I hope I'm half as awesome when I'm her age.

[–]andysbasura 3 points4 points ago

fabulous.

[–]amused_query_47 3 points4 points ago

If I were a cop, I'd give her a ticket

For being awesome.

[–]fire_hawx 0 points1 point ago

Says bad word = Instantly badass. Fucking middleschool all over again.

[–]RocketRedRocket 1 point2 points ago

This is the repost of protest signs.

[–]soiducked 0 points1 point ago

Hah! I know that lady from the San Diego Vintage Dance Society - she's a total badass. I want to be her when I grow up.

[–]Scylla5 0 points1 point ago

THE BOARD IS SPEAKING

[–]WhyNona 0 points1 point ago

Goddamn autocorrect, BELIEVE IS SPELLED RIGHT.

[–]cyraxx 0 points1 point ago

Hm, I'm confused because I'm pretty sure she spelled 'believe' correctly?

[–]MagCynic -1 points0 points ago

"Badass"? What the hell are they even protesting?

[–]manueljljl 0 points1 point ago

How are woman still being discriminated? It's a serious question.

[–]missnarwhal 0 points1 point ago

Okay, I've probably made this comment a million times, but bear with me.

You agree with me that men and women are, in law and on paper, equal, yes?

BUT, what about in practice? Think about wage discrimination, the distribution of domestic duties, the feminization of poverty, the portrayal of women as sexual objects, the miniscule number of female CEOs, the way women are still being blamed as "provoking" rape...shall I go on?

Do me a favor. Even if you don't believe me, even if you think I'm "just a crazy feminist"...sit down and watch some commercials. How are the women being portrayed? What do these portrayals say about the expectations and value of women in our society?

[–]manueljljl 0 points1 point ago

But is it really discrimination. Women might be portaited different but it's not that bad.

[–]missnarwhal 0 points1 point ago

*Portrayed

And yes, it is. The portrayal reflects the values our society holds, which are intrinsically patriarchal.

[–]manueljljl 0 points1 point ago

But how does a man looking at a woman with sexual desire wrong. It's the way men are built, it's their biological structure. It's like saying its wrong for women to care for their children.

Women are not restricted from anything men aren't( besides men related things I.e.mens sports, restrooms, men's schools, ext.). The fact is, men are loosing rights while women keep gaining them.

[–]missnarwhal 0 points1 point ago

False. That, my friend, is called biological essentialism.

This quote sums it up the best:

"Neither the size of the fatty glands on one’s pectoral muscles, nor whether one’s reproductive organs are innies or outies, are indicators of deeper essential differences, and nor are such indicators of sexual dimorphism relevant when discussing rights, equity and sexual egalitarianism."

[–]trinlayk 1 point2 points ago

Suffragette outfits for the WIN...

[–]monstertugg -1 points0 points ago

What are they protesting, modern clothing?

[–]zoe_victoria 0 points1 point ago

I actually went to this rally and I found it very inspiring and eye opening. It's ridiculous that in 2012 women still have to protest to make there own decision.

[–]NotRichBarr -2 points-1 points ago

She's protesting for segregation.

[–]WisLonghair -2 points-1 points ago

You don't. Get back to fucking work you slacker.

[–]SabrinaHiss -3 points-2 points ago

If the modern feminist movement was still as rediculously classy as this they'd get a lot more done.

[–]Energy_Turtle 10 points11 points ago

The downvotes are because you sound like a prick.

[–]Natalia_Bandita 2 points3 points ago

what did they say?

[–]infestedzeratul 2 points3 points ago

upvotes for justice.

[–]lunch72 -4 points-3 points ago

Is that really necessary - I cant stand vulgarity. It's not cute.
