Women, Read This Before You Participate in the Black and White Selfie Challenge

There’s a new social media challenge every couple of weeks, and those of us who want to do better and be more aware of how our presence in certain spaces takes up room for the people whose voices need to be heard have become reticent to join in.

We need to ask questions before we accept a viral chain letter and post a selfie, take up a hashtag spot, and the like, even though someone we love and trust sent the challenge along.

Which is all to say, let’s talk about the origins behind this black and white women’s selfie challenge, because it’s a bit more than a simple and vague “women supporting women.”

Actress Florence Pugh (who blew you away in Little Women), shed light on the challenge’s background when she posted a silly black and white photo of her own.

“I’ve been told that the true meaning of this hashtag and this b&w photo – ‘It is to shed light onto the Istanbul Convention, women are being subjected to violence and this convention is to end forgiveness for the attacker/murderers.

With that in mind, adjust your hashtags if you didn’t already do so.

Let’s ride gals.”

New York Times writer Tariro Mzezewa also verifies this is how the challenge started, saying that she spoke to some Turkish women who said,

“It started there as a response to them being frustrated over always seeing black and white photos of women who have been killed.”

Dr.  Pragya Agarwal chimed in as well, adding,

“This was started by Turkish women to say that they are appalled by the Turkish govt decision to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention, much like Poland.

This is to say that no woman stands alone, we deserve to take up space, we are all #womensupportingwomen.”

Black and white selfies. It isn’t just a game of hot or not. Or an exercise in vanity. It is not just a mindless challenge that women are undertaking to post their sexiest snaps. These are some of the criticisms that this #challenge has faced. It is a very serious gesture of defiance in support of the Turkish Women (Turkey has one of the highest femicide rate), in support of Pinar Gultekin who was killed in the most violent manner, in support of every woman who has felt threatened and unsafe. This is show of solidarity to say that we stand together, we are unafraid, we are fed up of the lack of accountability for the perpetrators. This was started by Turkish women to say that they are appalled by the Turkish govt decision to withdraw from the Isanbul convention much like Poland. This is to say that no woman stands alone, we deserve to take up space, we are all #womensupportingwomen This is not just performative, this is hopefully not just tokenistic, this is for PINAR GULTEKIN. Say her name!! .

A post shared by Dr Pragya Agarwal (@drpragyaagarwal) on

Poland left the Instanbul Convention, which is a European treaty aimed at protecting women against violence, and Turkey is considering doing the same.

While the original push behind the hashtag challenge has gotten a bit muddied, women like Padma Lakshmi and Alexa Chung have used their selfies and posts to lift up women like Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Natasha McKenna, and Michelle Cusseaux – all in need of justice after brutal treatment.

If you’re going to take part, keep all of this in mind, and maybe make your space somewhere that boosts the signals of women around the world who are in need of justice, of strength, and of support against power.

In the process, you and your followers are sure to learn something about the plight of the women we’re supporting around the globe, making the social media solidarity all the more meaningful.

Ridiculous Text Messages That’ll Make You Laugh… and Roll Your Eyes

It’s crazy to think about a time before text messaging.

I fought it for a while when all my friends started doing it probably back in 2003, but I eventually gave in, and honestly, I’d prefer to NEVER talk on the phone to anyone ever again.

But that’s just me.

And you know if you spend most of your time texting, you’re going to have some pretty ridiculous exchanges with people.

Here are some perfect examples. Let’s take a look.

1. What a charmer.

Did you fall for this guy, or what?

2. Hahaha. This is great.

He seems like a keeper to me. But what do I know…?

3. Zing! Got ya!

I laughed at this. Not gonna lie.

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

4. That’s not what I meant!

I swear! I said MILD.

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

5. One time only.

That will never happen again. EVER.

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

6. Oh good, you only inhaled it.

We got a smart one on our hands!

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

7. That ended with a bang.

Nice work, everyone!

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

8. Who is this?

And what on Earth are you talking about?

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

9. Is anyone gonna show up?

It doesn’t look good so far…

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

10. Might want to go to the ER.

I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same, though…

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

11. I did, too!

I’m freakin’ out!

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

12. No one should ever receive a message like this.

This is horrifying!

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

13. Don’t mess with Deanna.

She’ll give you the business every time!

Photo Credit: Ruin My Week

Oh, boy…

How about you? Have you received (or accidentally sent) any ridiculous text messages lately?

If so, please talk to us in the comments! And share some screenshots!
