DDoS attack targets Femsplain on International Women's Day

According to Gordon, these sorts of attacks are not rare. "We constantly have people attacking us and attempting to bring our website down. It’s unfortunate but the reality of our mission." She added in comments to The Verge that prior attacks are "never to this severity and I think it's because it's International Women's Day."

M.I.A. just dropped a new song, Can See Can Do

"Can See Can Do" features a queasy, squelching beat, similar to what we heard in Matangi, and M.I.A.'s politically tilted half-rapped boasts.
