I call bullshit: Mattel cuts ties with Girls, Inc.


I realize this is slightly old news (that will teach us for taking days off!), but it’s too important not to post on.
Mattel—maker of American Girl products—has decided not to renew their partnership with Girls, Inc. when it ends this year. Girls, Inc. and American Girl caused quite the controversy with their collaborative “I Can” campaign. Because these people are ignorant assholes.
Pam at Pandagon has more.

Birth control pill may cut MS risk



New research from the Harvard School of Public Health shows that women who take oral contraceptives may be lowering their short-term risk of developing multiple sclerosis.
The study, published in Archives of Neurology, reports that the incidence of MS was 40 percent lower in those taking oral contraceptives compared to those who weren’t.

Lesbian actress voted one of sexiest women on television



247Gay reports that Portia De Rossi has been voted one of the ten sexiest women on television.

The poll, which asks avid television viewers their opinions on several aspects of the medium, clocks De Rossi at number nine, a rare bright spot of news for the show given FOX’s recent announcement it was pulling [Arrested] Development from its line-up.
De Rossi, whose headline grabbing romance with Ellen DeGeneres peaked earlier this year with a cover story in The Advocate, made the list with a prestigious line-up of women, including Alias star Jennifer Garner and Desperate Housewives’ Eva Longoria, who topped the list.

Anti-choice activists try to shut down Mississippi’s last clinic

Cause god forbid women have one goddamn place left to exercise their legal right to choose.
Anti-choice activists are attempting to completely eradicate any semblance of reproductive rights in their Mississippi–they are trying to shut down the state’s last women’s health clinic that provides abortions.

The Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which treats more than 3,000 women a year statewide, said a setback would not mean defeat and may only put the issue back in front of a judge. The clinic, which is still operating, risks having to scale back the kinds of abortion it can perform.
“We have no intention of leaving and we intend to continue to provide the services that we’re providing,” said Susan Hill, president of ...

All I want for Christmas…


Is to have these people shot.
Well, not really, but these definitely may be the most offensive and infuriating shirts I’ve ever seen. Just check out the new products on their homepage, and be prepared to gag.
What really pisses me off is that they seem to think that labeling the shirts as “offensive” somehow makes it okay for them to sell.
Thanks to Jen for pointing out this garbage.
