Have you heard of "One Billion Rising"?

[Maia Gabrial]

Hey everyone! Want to dance and release your energies for fun and for a great cause? How about joining this movement this Friday? Do it wherever you are. It's called "One Billion Rising" where men and women all over the planet have put forth their energies through song and dance toward changing the the way women are being abused throughout the world. Come together with your friends or do it alone. Link your energies with everyone doing this on the planet. Let's make it 2 billion this year!

If you haven't heard of this, here's one of their motivating videos from 2013:

I don't like the idea of having fun (dancing is naturally fun and a pleasure, isn't it?) while keeping the idea of others suffering or being abused.

I agree, it seems an odd choice of action to highlight woman's suffering and abuses.. So we all dance?

That'll show em... Maybe when they see over a billion women dancing, it will make them think twice about being so abusive...

Not sure if this plan has been thought out well, strategy is a man's game after all, not cunning mind you, but strategy, the ability to calmly without emotion go threw the variables and act accordingly. Girls use their emotions more and are constantly disappointed when their mates do not, IMO, this exercise will do the same thing, speak to other women, but not to the men who will do the abusing, nothing for the cause, other than highlighting it, again, through dance of all things...

I won't dance like nobodies watching, that at least, WILL help the cause.... N

Kool Video. Thanks for sharing. Maybe now we can have a 1 billion awakenings video too. This will surely level the playing field on Earth. Just a thought. ;)
