Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has overturned a measure that would have allowed women to buy alcoholic beverages. A 1955 law bans women, but not men, from buying alcohol.

They're fighting the patriarchy by prohibiting husbands from sending their wives on beer runs while they stay home watching the game.

They can still get you a beer from the fridge and make you a sandwich.

I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.

This is what I do... http://www.startonlinejob.com

To be fair, women were the ones that pushed temperance pretty much everywhere else...(and helped along by letting them vote...)

Not in Sri Lanka, I think.

Wouldn't this solve the campus rape crisis?

Well, we all know how they get when they've been drinking...

[Fuck you, Shikha (Nunya)]
