#HoldACokeWithYourBoobsChallenge For Breast Cancer Charity Turns Out To Be A Hoax!

The #HoldACokeWithYourBoobsChallenge supposedly encourages women to post photos online with a soft drink held in their cleavage, all in the name of raising money for breast cancer charities. So far, this has led to many images showing mainly topless women or with tapes and hands barely covering their nipples, flashing their boobs on social media believing it was for charity.

However, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation said the challenge is not raising money for them and has no connection to their charity - but would happily receive donations if donations do start coming in from the challenge.

#AskHerMore Compels #Oscars Red Carpet Hosts Not To Be Sexist

The #Oscars red carpet is a whole show on its own, but the #AskHerMore hashtag on social media is asking reporters and hosts to be more open with female stars and ask them more general questions beyond what they are wearing.

CBS reports that comedian Amy Poehler started the #AskHerMore hashtag by teaming up with The Representation Project because she was tired of only hearing "Who are you wearing?" Poehler's Smart Girls Community sent a tweet eliciting questions that focused more on an actress's talent than her taste in clothing.

Janay Rice Inspires #WhyIStayed Stories By Beverly Gooden And Other Abused Women

I've never been in an abusive relationship, and when I saw the video of Janay Rice being punched in the head by her then fiance, I just couldn't imagine why she went on to marry him. Beverly Gooden has been in one, and she knows what could be driving Janay Rice.

Seeing many on social media calling out Janay especially after she released a statement defending her NFL player husband, Beverly decided to change the conversation. She called on her followers to share their stories of domestic abuse with the hashtag #WhyIStayed in an effort to draw awareness to the complexities of domestic violence. She wrote on her website;

For over a year, I was physically abused by my ex-husband. When TMZ released the video of Ray Rice punching, dragging, and spitting on his wife this morning, the internet exploded with questions about her. Why didn't she leave? Why did she marry him? Why did she stay?

I can't speak for Janay Rice, but I can speak for Beverly Gooden. Why did I stay? Check out some of my reasons here. Leaving was a process, not an event. And sometimes it takes awhile to navigate through the process.

I believe in storytelling. I believe in the power of shared experience. I believe that we find strength in community. That is why I created this hashtag. I hope those tweeting using #WhyIStayed find a voice, find love, find compassion, and find hope.

Check out some of the touching tweets below. I'm happy especially with those who add #WhyIleft to show they have put the abuse and abuser behind them.

Fat activists have been using the fatkini hashtag to show that everyone can look good in a swimsuit and more and more women are getting on board.

#illNeverDateAPersonWho - What Is Your Number One Relationship Deal Breaker?

Love me, love my dog? Many of us know what we want in those we date, and when those things are missing, we'll either run far away from the potential suitor or relegate them to the friendzone like in the picture. Those on twitter decided to weigh in on the issue and there are many gems. Cheating is high on the list, breaking promises, sharing the same likes and dislikes, looks, etc. What is yours?
