As members of Georgia’s House of Representatives debate whether to prohibit abortions for women more than 20 weeks pregnant, House Democrats planned to introduce their own reproductive rights plan: No more vasectomies that leave “thousands of children … deprived of birth.”
“If we legislate women’s bodies, it’s only fair that we legislate men’s.”

This is ridiculous. Thirty four of these Oklahoma senators do not understand basic human biology. A pregnancy does not begin at conception (when the sperm fertilizes the egg). It take several days, sometimes up to a week, for pregnancy to take place. After the sperm fertilizes the egg (if it even does), it needs to attach to the uterine wall. If the fertilized egg does not...
It really is horrifying

that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable.

I’m an anarchist, and a feminist, and I’m fucking poor. I would love to be vegan, but right now I’m eating bean & cheese vegetarian microwave burritos and microwave pizzas because they’re 50 cents…
Uhh Cody, rice and beans is probably cheaper than any microwave pizza....

Atheism in America →
“9% of Americans would not vote for a Jewish presidential candidate, 22% wouldn’t support a Mormon and 32% would not vote for a gay or lesbian candidate, 49% would refuse to back an atheist for president.”
“Being on crack, that was OK. As long as I believed in God, I was OK.” So, for example, “I’m not allowed to babysit. I have all these cousins who need babysitters but they’re...

chasing dandelions...: What is Privilege? →
” These are not abstract, distant issues. There are cold hard facts to back up the existence and effects of privilege in our society. You can witness it in every day life if you just open your eyes for one second. Saying that it doesn’t exist simply because you don’t want to educate yourself on it won’t actually make it go away. Sorry. ” 3dela:

The shit hit the fan in the trans blogosphere last night, when it came to light that there is a disturbing new section in the Identity Screening Regulations used in airports throughout Canada. Simply put, Transgender People are Completely Banned From Boarding Airplanes in Canada.
The offending section of the regulations reads:

thefrogman asked: First, I didn't write the joke. The only thing I found funny about it was the play on words. Second, the damage is metaphorical. There is no objectification required to be damaged. I am damaged. I have been for a long time. It is not a fault. It is not a weakness. It is something that happened. The joke was harsh, but if you have ever laughed at Louis CK or Sarah Silverman or South Park......

Five facts:
