Writing is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.

— Winston Churchill

Post Your Panties for Peace

I just saw this at skirt! magazine and had to share. This is one of the most unique campaigns I’ve ever seen, and it definitely sounds like the best reason I’ve ever had to lose my knickers (except for that time my husband and I … oops, sorry, almost off topic here). And if you’re a man reading this, you may never find a better reason to stage a panty raid.

Burmese women have endured rape and systemic sexual violence at the hands of the military. The Panties for Peace campaign, launched by women in Burma, plays on regime leaders’ superstitious fear that contact with a woman’s underpants will rob them of their power. Women around the world are asked to post their panties to local Burmese embassies. Find addresses at www.pantiesforpeace.info.
