Is it just me? Is it either one extreme or the other here?
Either men really don’t get it, or they really do?

Abortion is a medical procedure
Holla, sista!
I saw this the other day and found it to be very powerful.
This part moved me to tears: “That you feel no solidarity with the women that have no voice, no power, no safety, no light, no freedom to drive a car or walk down the street by themselves at night; no right to protect their own children, maybe you’re not ready.”
Take It Personally
I have a few things to say in response to today's post by Becca on A Clown On Fire.
I understand Becca's issue. It's something too many women have to face.
A few months ago I organized an event for a large VIP group of scientists and politicians. On the third night, I attended the annual gala. I was pleased to see the cocktail hour run smoothly and my boss complimented me on my hard work.
Following Becca's post of earlier today, Lauren wrote this. My own will soon follow...and it will be as difficult for you to read, I figure, as it's going to be for me to write.
Let’s Get Physical
If you read no other blog post today, you must read this: Let’s Get Physical. I’m not kidding.
Becca has very eloquently raised some interesting and important questions. Questions that speak to me.
Religion is more important than a woman’s life
Open Letter: Female GOP Supporters

Female GOP Supporters:
As you know, elections are right around the corner, and propaganda information from both parties has been spreading like wildfire for the past several months. As we close in on November 6th, I can't help but think about those of you ladies who will be going to the polls and placing a mark next to Romney's name.
Jen of Sips of Jen and Tonic nails it, in my opinion. We have different political views, but her "I don't want these things instead of my rights as a woman" absolutely nails it.
And "some girls rape easy," leaves me sickened.
Where My Ladies At?
Hi Women!
Whas up, yo?
Sorry I began so awkwardly. It's because I feel nervous.
I feel nervous because some of you are Republicans or people who think voting for Mitt Romney is a good idea. I fear you will drop me like Michael Jackson almost dropped Blanket from that hotel balcony or post something in the comments that will make me feel squicky.
Regarding the upcoming election in the U.S., Speaker7 says it better than I ever could (because she's brilliant). Plus, her post falls in line with what I've been writing/posting in the last several days.
Now, go read it.
Fuck off with your misogyny
This has been brewing for a while.
It’s within the last three or four months, though, that it’s really, really started to fester.

"And I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."- Richard Mourdock , U.S. Senate candidate.
The People have been fucked unwillingly for eons. It was God's plan all along.
DISCLAIMER #1: By no means am I comparing "rape" with "class inequality". I am, however, supporting Richard Mourdock…
This needed to be reblogged. It's important. Some of the debate that ensues in the comments is surprising. Most of all, the comment about the politician (suggesting that the difference between consensual sex and rape is patience) still has me gobsmacked.
