In media reports on women’s issues—abortion, birth control, Planned Parenthood—men are quoted around five times more than women, a new study shows
Maybe this explains a couple of things, yeah?

“The Way It Was”: Abortion in the US before Roe v. Wade.
I was thinking about this article and this is really one of my favourite articles ever. Really powerful.
Reblogging for the same reason ^
I want to print out this article and personally hand it to every “til abortion ends” loser giving up soda and candy bars until we WAHHH...

I believe that your abortion is none of my business. I don’t need to know:
why you’re getting the abortion
how many months you’re pregnant
what number abortion this is
whether you became pregnant through negligence or if it wasn’t your fault at all
whether you have a kid at home already
how…
I want to explain a little..

How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Feminists
“In other words, white or black, eastern or western, Muslim or Christian or Jew or atheist, and yes, conservative or liberal, it all started to look the same: the slow, cheerful, firm, for-your-own-good, pseudo-rational eliding of space for women and rights for women.
It hasn’t affected me personally all that much. I’ve slipped the net. I’ve been lucky enough to work as a woman in the...

Mr. Darcy: hey, I just met you
Mr. Darcy: and this this crazy
Mr. Darcy: but I'm going to act coldly distant to you for a long time, then awkwardly admit my undying love to you and save you from liking a horrible liar and gambler, then propose to you, telling you I love you not for your beauty but for your mind.
Mr. Darcy: so call me maybe.

The Personal Responsibility of Living On a Rape Schedule in A Rape Culture
I went for a run after dinner tonight. It was a beautiful night. The moon was full and I wanted to unwind after a long week of work. I was responsible. I wore a bright, white vest so cars could see me. I took my big dog with me so I wouldn’t be alone. And I carried my cell phone and a bag of dog sh*t...

Funniest thing to happen to me today?
I just listened to a co-worker explain to me that white Christian men are the most discriminated against in our society (in response to this). Apparently white Christian men have no one to stand up for them.
I kept a straight face, but barely.

Ever wonder why I'm on a feminist rampage?
Because the media reacts like this when we’re less than perfect. Because our emotional range gets stunted and limited.
Because so many aspects of our culture normalize rape on a subconscious level.
Because Kansas and Arizona pass bills that allows the beliefs of a doctor or pharmacist to trump the health of a person. And because fetuses are becoming increasingly more important than the...

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never...”
– Richard Dawkins
Dawkins generally annoys me and his use of the word “whine” here is particularly grating, but I do love the rhythm of this quotation and its humanism.
Nonetheless… “greater poets than Keats”? UNLIKELY.
