CK Louis bro-tastically pandered to the comedy community over the Danial Tosh crap and told Jon Stewaet comedian and feminists wee natural enemies. Now he wants to be George Carlin? What? Did he just realized last week that his daughters are going to grow up and be women who might be the subject of hostile [...]

I’ve cried at work, but always because of hostile or otherwise unbareable workplace conditions. In those cases, I went into the bathroom to cry, because it was so not a safe environment for me to let my emotions show.

I saw a comment on the Salon article yesterday about this where someone was like, “Yeah, yeah, Emerson is a liberal school in a blue state. Call me when this happens at a mid-west school, blah blah blah” I couldn’t believe this person, who I assume considers themselves some sort of progressive or maybe an [...]

OMG did she so seriously compare gay people to kids who drool on themselves or need to be fed through a tube or are stupid because of some learning disability!? How dare she!!! I didn’t realize recognizing that gay people need a special effort on our part to understand and include them and to be [...]

Wow, I’m more than a little put off but this. I’m disabled–I have autism and PTSD/depresion that I’ve struggled with since my childhood. That article by Smith is beyond obnoxious. She/he presumes to know what Pistorious represented to disabled people like myself but clearly does not. Pistorious represented to many disabled people not so much [...]

Wow. I mean, I know the arguments against it were insanely sexist and stupid (logic dictates) to be see how people actually made to effort to make them, wow. Rhe presumptions here are just remarkable and laughable. Indulge me here: 1. Because men couldn’t bother to listen to women = women “do not care” 2. [...]

Oh, Cavuto. Some poor woman gave birth that dude. I love how Jon Stewart once mocked his use of the sensational question mark in his headline with “Cavuto is a…journalist???” Spot on. Yes, he made a valid point but that’s what he does–he say something that a sane, decent, reasonable person might say but it’s [...]

That is awesome.

I don’t even understand why there’s a benediction for the inauguration for the president of our supposedly SECULAR government. That was a totally rhetorical comment. No need to answer me on that. I know why. You know, considering how anti-gay American conservative Christianity is what’s fueling things like the Uganda Kill the Gay bill and [...]

The idea that the role of gender isn’t a factor in violence because some women commit violent acts is a rationalization and a denial of why most women who commit violence do so. It can be argued they commit violence because they live in a male-dominant society where violence committed by men is common and [...]

Ha! Was I had this gif yesterday when a self-proclaimed “midwife” (I have no way of verifying that) called me “sunshine” on Twitter for criticizing her flippant attitude toward something I found offensive and demeaning to women who had had an abortion.

With friends like this…

Definitely adding this to my to-read list.

I am admittedly very affected by this story. Not only do I know the Catholic Church’s “pro-life” stance very well (spent almost 9 years at a Catholic University, including studying philosophy and theology in the grad program), I had an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy that had been not properly dx’d when I showed up [...]

I have a confession: I’m a white person and when I see a black woman with a natural hair style, I turn green with envy. I had the good fortune of going to a junior high and high school where the white and black student populations were roughly equal, both around 40%. I have black [...]

Awesome. Glad to see this happening. Also gives me ideas about how to advocate for “autism etiquette” as I as an autistic person am getting pretty damn fed up with people assuming I’m “disordered” or otherwise cannot speak for myself.

Even though many people who are pro-life may be vicious, sociopathic misogynists who’d rather see women dead, scarred, traumatized or suffering along with their children under crushing poverty than acknowledge that abortion is a genuinely needed aspect of comprehensive women’s health care, this comment isn’t about calling them that. This really is appalling, both the [...]
