Jessica Davey-Quantick is a Canadian burlesque dancer who has a prolific Instagram. Now, it's already kind of a big deal for a woman to be online at all with, you know, a life or opinions, as evidenced by the trolls many of us suffer on a daily basis. Layer on top of that the identity of "burlesque performer," and you bring out all the specifically appearance-focused and/or "morality" focused sexism. Add the fact that the burlesque dancer in question is fat? You've hit the trifecta.

The Women's March was an event that gave voice to the voiceless, united women of different backgrounds, and sent a clear message of protest. For many others, like J.R. Doporto, it was an opportunity to release the inner misogynist.

Last week, Russia's Duma passed a bill by a vote of 368 to 1 (with one abstention) that would decriminalize certain "less serious" forms of domestic violence, chipping away at progress that was already hard-won.

When artist and Rat Queens co-creator Roc Upchurch was arrested for battery against his wife back in 2014, writer and co-creator Kurtis Wiebe pleased many of the book's fans by taking Upchurch off this book about powerful and nuanced female characters saying first that "I couldn’t have imagined something I love so dearly would become connected to domestic violence." After this weekend, it seems like that may not have been the final word on the matter.

India's Telecommunications Ministry has made it mandatory that mobile phone companies implement a panic button on their phones in response to the slew of reported cases of sexual assault and violence against women.

This PSA from Made By Woman Media titled "Topless Women Talk NFL" calls for the NFL to stop tolerating domestic violence.

John "Roc" Upchurch, formerly the artist for Rat Queens, has quietly returned to the comic book world; he first went on hiatus following his arrest for domestic abuse a year ago. Upchurch's wife, who has asked us to refer to her as "Reese U." in this piece, reached out to The Mary Sue, as well as several other media outlets, to share her thoughts about what's happened since John Upchurch began his comics career again in earnest.

Terrence Howard is a great actor. This we know. However, we also know that he has a history of treating women like garbage (and doesn't seem particularly ashamed of it). Apparently, he was also single-handedly responsible for the Iron Man film as we know it, and thinks he can just...invent math.

We all enjoy problematic things. Sometimes, we don't even realize that the thing we love is problematic until someone else points it out, because the problems with it don't affect us personally. And yes, it is possible to like something, while simultaneously recognizing that there are things it could've done better, or that there are ways in which it harms an already maligned group.

Only a week after the Internet was torn asunder by the world's most frustrating article of clothing, the South African branch of the Salvation Army has already released an anti-domestic violence PSA featuring a woman wearing the dress and the message "Why is it so hard to see black and blue?
