Searching the #prochoice hashtag alerted me to a counterpost by a prolife guy . He states, ‘Yes, the feminists are anoyed with you, so much so, that they have posted about it. Your offense? Taking over the pro-choice hashtag on twitter.’ Because, of course, that’s totally not the same thing he’s doing i.e. posting about it in order to gain support. Pot kettle black. Just saying.
Love Geena Davis. I played softball from the age of 9, so growing up, A League of Their Own was by far one of my favorite movies. I think it was the first DVD I actually owned.
I definitely think positive images of women in media will go a huge way to helping young girls’ self esteem.
Rock on Geena Davis!
i’ve been putting off starting a twitter account but this is all the more reason to start one!
Valerie, I opened a twitter account and almost never use it. I’ve been on it more since reading this than I have been in months. I might swing by the hasgtag later on tonight as well.
