Last week I decided to go for a jog. There I was, minding my own business and humming along to Lana Del Rey, when a truck slowed down next to me. The driver decreased his speed just enough to pull the car up to where I was on the sidewalk and proceeded to bark at me before he sped off. Charming, right?

Purple pens. Pink cars. Pastel weights. Ellen DeGeneres is known for calling out products that sell gender stereotypes, as she's done during a few episodes of "The Ellen Show." During a November episode, she told the crowd: “I have two little nieces, and I don’t want them to grow up in a world where girls have to like pink and boys have to like blue.

Performing at an after-party for the 2008 MTV Movie Awards, M.I.A. interrupted her set to announce she'd donate her $100,000 appearance fee to build schools in Liberia--a pretty respectable move, I'd say. Her activism, fueled by her early life spent as a refugee of Sri Lanka, isn't always well-received though; her support of Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers and the brutal murders of red heads depicted in her music video for "Born Free," for example, have been anything but celebrated.
