But, c’mon — if literally any white man did the same thing he’d be lauded for his bravery and there would be zero question about its journalistic value.

This x 1 million. I am so susceptible to cover art. I try to be sensible, but I end up passing books by because of their pastel, saccharine covers.

You know how women are; doing years of preparation, risking their lives, living in a country where they might be killed if they are found out, trying to tell the world about conditions that are deliberately hidden from us- you know, girl stuff. You can’t take it too seriously, you know how emotional they get about…

This is insulting to her journalistic integrity and how much risk she took, but not surprising. I have noticed that a lot of books authored by women are marketed to fail. A few years ago, I decided to make an effort to read more female authors (and have read some amazing books as a result), but I can't get past the…

This is exactly how men writing novels is “literary fiction” but the same book written by a woman is categorized as “romance.”

Some even denounced me, a South Korean woman, as someone who had merely returned “home” to North Korea; to them, I hadn’t gone undercover at all. Which is another way of saying that what I had written was personal, and therefore by definition not authoritative.

Gun rights groups argued that the men should not lose their constitutional right to bear arms because of misdemeanor abuse convictions.

And another huzzah!

I wonder how many other states’ TRAP laws are automatically null and void due to this ruling?

Did you hear that moreover Texas was hiding the evidence of the NEGATIVE effect the law was already having? The whistle blower in this story is a ducking hero. I want to meet him/her and buy him/her a beer. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/e…

If anyone wants to make a donation to support independent abortion clinics (like Whole Women’s Health, and the indies I worked at and research with), every dollar counts! Make a donation to celebrate today’s decision and to help clinics that had to close re-open their doors! https://www.abortioncarenetwork.org/donation…

wait’ll you get to RBG’s concurrence.

also, today in women not being at unnecessary risk of death or disfigurement:

My favorite line (thus far— I’m still reading) from Breyer’s majority opinion: “We add that, when directly asked at oral argument whether Texas knew of a single instance in which the new requirement would have helped even one woman obtain better treatment, Texas admitted that there was no evidence in the record of…

Yes. YES.

This is why State and Local elections are almost more important than those at the National level. The Asshats who keep introducing these measures at the State level need to be turned out of office by their constituents. Until that happens, it won’t matter how many pro-choice Judges get appointed to SCOTUS; the women…

I have a ridiculously stupid question. I have never understood why you can’t go to your gynecologist, or urgent care facility, or even just a hospital to have an abortion.
A few years ago I was pregnant and was faced with a potentially unviable fetus. When I told my gyno that if the tests showed it was, in fact,…

The older daughter posted a meme (after she identified that she supported the second amendment) emphasizing a logical break among responses to immigrants and gun rights. So, she had some qualms. She also posted a lot of anti-Trump things.

The rest of the post says this, so I got the impression that she was referring to the hypocrisy of those against any gun control who also support anti immigration and anti trans legislation (maybe?).
