In case there was any question why.

Yyyep. I need feminism because blatant sexism and perpetuating stereotypes about women are still considered a valid source of comedy. -Jess

…and I didn’t think I could possibly love Hillary more. I was wrong. SHE GETS IT!

ihopebarackobama:

I hope Barack Obama has to wake up early to walk Bo but then finds out Joe Biden already did it for him so he gets to sleep in a little longer.

Feminism that’s inclusive of WoC and trans* women. Perfect.

188 days. 6 months. That's how long we've had forced transvaginal ultrasounds in TX. →

Ugh.

Every time I hear a feminist say they won’t vote in this election because they don’t believe in a two party system or they think the democratic party is corrupt…I think about this. If you don’t vote in 2012 you are standing by and allowing this to happen. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

Most women in the United States do not even know or use the terms colonialism and neocolonialism. Most American women, particularly white women, have not decolonized their thinking either in relation to the racism, sexism, and class elitism they hold towards less powerful groups of women in this society or the masses of women globally. When unenlightened individual feminist thinkers addressed global issues of gender exploitation and oppression they did and do so from a perspective of neocolonialism.

Thirty-two Arizona state legislators received hand-knit, googley-eyed stuffed uteruses from a pro-choice activist yesterday, the Arizona Republic reports.

Each uturus toy was stuffed into a clear plastic bag, along with a letter from Peggy Tinsley, who spearheaded the project, explaining why she opposes a bill that would limit birth control coverage in the state.

“Please treat the women in your life as the intelligent persons they are,” Tinsley wrote. “I have provided you with a uterus. Please leave ours alone.”

Actiknitting?

Nobody’s immune to breast cancer

When we talk about breast cancer, there’s no women or superwomen. Everybody has to do the self-examination monthly. Fight with us against this enemy and, when in doubt, talk to your doctor.
