The only vote this woman would get from me is for Supreme Fucking Asshole of the Year. Sharon Angle, the Tea Party member and GOP challenger to Harry Reid’s Nevada Senate seat, is anti-choice. She also apparently thinks that if you’re raped by your father and want to have an abortion, you have…

CNN Fetus Pain Study (NOT UNTIL 24 WEEKS!!!)

Submitted by C:
http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/06/26/study-fetuses-pain/
I’m practically frolicking around all of the STFU sites with this wonderful link. It is the biggest STFU to Conservatives I’ve ever seen that doesn’t even directly mention them. Perhaps more people will realize the absurdity of giving the rights of a full-developed, feeling being over to another who...

The Rhetoric That Shaped The Abortion Debate @ NPR →
“What the research did indicate to me is how multifaceted the issue is and how the word [abortion] came over time to stand for so much more than the termination of a pregnancy,” she says. “It really came to stand for a debate about the place of women in the world.”
why poverty is not the opposite of wealth
smartchickscommune:
“[Charles] Karelis, a professor at George Washington University, has a simpler but far more radical argument to make: traditional economics just doesn’t apply to the poor. When we’re poor, Karelis argues, our economic worldview is shaped by deprivation, and we see the world around us not in terms of goods to be consumed but as problems to be alleviated. This is where...

– -mashanda
This was in response to my questions about Why Don’t Women Bike More?
I only spent 3 days in LA, and had a car, and man that does not seem like a bike friendly city.
The unfortunate reality is that most people in cars are oblivious, and there’s always a chance that no matter...

Tip 20%
andreaisace:
Stop being selfish, yo. Most waitstaff are making very little because “service” minimum wage is generally at least 4 dollars under “normal” minimum wage. So, y’know, forking over 20% isn’t that big of a fucking deal.
Sheesh.
Not to mention that at many restaurants, your waitperson also tips out their bartender (even if you didn’t order drinks!), busser, and possibly...
Why Don't More Women Bike?
Just discovered both the zine Dames on Frames (via Bitch magazine) and this website for zines: microcosmpublishing.com.
And of course I clicked around some links as you do on these interwebz. And kept seeing the question “Why don’t more women bike?”
There are some answers that always pop up: Clothing (Women don’t want to wear spandex). Makeup (Women don’t want to...

Pride Festival/Parade
It’s pretty sweet that I live in a city that hosts a huge PRIDE festival every year. It’s pretty sweet that I run into people I know there - gay or straight or trans or bi… It’s pretty sweet that there are so many churches that march in the parade and support and welcome everyone year-round (I lost count after 6 from our city, and one from a kind of nearby city). It’s...

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!
“A new, longer-lasting emergency contraceptive pill moved closer to the U.S. market on Thursday after U.S. medical advisers unanimously backed the one-dose drug as a safe and effective option to prevent an unplanned pregnancy.”
This pill, “Ella”, works for up to 5 days after unprotected sex,birth control failure, or sexual assault, (in comparison...

Oh,
because of this post, peaches have automatically become even more enjoyable (for me, at least) ;]
Sorry, I couldn’t resist
I can’t even imagine that this would occur to someone unless they had actively given plenty of thought to going down on someone. I mean, I hate the juices from peaches (same with oranges, etc.) because it’s sticky and gross. But,...

Shut Up.
alicemachine:
“Woman make me a sandwich” wasn’t even funny the first time. Why do people think it’s funny the 67th time?
It takes a (small) bit of critical thinking and intelligence to learn about and understand feminism (and lots of different studies of social sttructures).*
People often mock things they cannot understand, usually out of fear. Fear of the thing itself, or fear that they...

Often times, strangers will call my four year old son a little girl. Being the outspoken wild man that he is, he promptly corrects them with a loud, “I’m NOT a she! Just because I have long golden curls doesn’t mean I’m a girl!” Not kidding, it spews from his mouth on a regular basis. Recently, I got to talking to one of the parents who mistook Connor for a girl at the playground. She asked...
