| The biggest lesson from the Golden Globes: Women's stories matter | Women are raising their voices across America — and Hollywood is finally beginning to listen.
That was the big takeaway of this year's Golden Globes, where women, both onscreen and off, reigned supreme, writes Mic's Sophie Kleeman: "From Amy Adams' speech about female allies to Maggie Gyllenhaal's assertion that women deserve complex roles with nuance and value, Sunday night's show was all about the stories of women and the varied ways we can tell them."
+ In case you missed it, watch Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's amazing opening monologue, including a bucket of shade leveled at Bill Cosby over his rape allegations.
+ The biggest star of the Golden Globes wasn't an actor, but brilliant human rights lawyer Amal Clooney.
+ Rosamund Pike's red carpet moment exposes a big problem with how we talk about women.
+ The most historic moment of the Golden Globes? Transparent's win, punctuated by a poignant speech on trans rights. | | | Millions march against terrorism across France after Charlie Hebdo massacre | Mllions of people took to the streets of Paris and cities across France on Sunday to rally in defense of free speech and against terrorism in the wake of Wednesday's deadly attack on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The French Interior Ministry told the Associated Press that 3.7 million marched throughout France, making the demonstrations the largest in the country's history.
+ See powerful photos from this weekend's amazing solidarity marches across France.
+ The marches were bigger than the peak protests in Tiananmen Square, the Vietnam War and the Berlin Wall combined.
+ At least 40 world leaders marched arm-in-arm — but as one student points out, not all of them are allies of press freedom.
+ Here's how Arab papers reacted to the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
+ On Sunday, a German newspaper was firebombed for reprinting Charlie Hebdo's controversial cartoons.
+ Rupert Murdoch made an asinine statement about Islamic extremism and the world's Muslim population. Luckily, J.K. Rowling was there to shut him right down.
+ People say solidarity for Charlie Hebdo is about press freedom, but nobody in France cared when another newspaper faced three attacks in six months. | | | Introducing MicCheck, our brand new iOS app | We've officially launched our new iOS app, MicCheck!
