16 & Loved
thefeministhub:
16 & Loved is a campaign to give our public support to the three young women who told their abortion story on the MTV special – “No Easy Decision” – created for the popular series “16 & Pregnant.” Markai and several other young women did their part to let others know: “you are not alone. I’ve been there too.” Now, it’s...

– Some Preliminary Thoughts on Wikileaks - The Pursuit of Harpyness
Anonymous asked: Hey, I don't know your stances on trigger warnings, but is there any way to put one up above that image you just put up about Julian Assange being freed and the other circled issues of sexual assault? Even below the image in bold would help, since it would have caught my eye before I clicked on the picture.
This whole thing's brilliant and you should read...
Claim: If you think these rape allegations against Julian Assange should be taken seriously, then you just don’t get it! Wake up and smell the set-up!
Why I’m so fucking sick of it: No really, we get it. I promise. There might be like 3 people on earth who believe the timing of Assange’s arrest was pure coincidence, but I haven’t seen them hanging out in the feminist blogosphere. The point we’re...

thepoliticalpartygirl:
It is becoming increasingly apparent just how expendable women are in the “liberal” or “progressive” movement. Abortion rights revoked in the health care bill, rape apologism, sexist remarks all over the white, male-dominated media. You want our support, but you won’t support us. You don’t get to pass Lilly Ledbetter, pat yourselves on the back, smile for a photo op...

dearcoketalk:
So, my cousin is one of those lawyers who works against gay marriage. That is actually his job. I obviously find this abhorrent. My question: how horrible of a person am I if I still invite him to my wedding? If I don’t invite him, I’ll be making a very conspicuous point. But it’s very possible he, his wife & children will cease contact with my branch of the family. (If it...

Homosexuality & Same-Sex Marriage

graciewacie:
If you didn’t know it before, you know it now: I am an advocate for same-sex marriage. I am also part of the Roman Catholic church. I’m fairly certain that you can see some problems there already.
I grew up pretty much breathing Catholicism. My parents are both Catholic; my mom and her side of the family are all strong Catholics, and my dad was converted from an...
