I love that she is using her experience to comment and constructively criticize the rape culture we have all around us. She is SO bright and thoughtful, and I really am inspired by the way she took something so terrible in her life and is using it to help other people. I believe she can make a difference in the way…

I respect her so much. She has some very biting things to say about purity culture in general and it is wonderful.

Keep fucking rocking, Elizabeth Smart! That’s all I’ve got. I have no snark or cynicism to give. Just keep being an amazing human being.

The idea that anti-choice groups could directly reach women in abortion clinics or women who might be “abortion-minded,” is the brainchild of John Flynn, a Boston-based advertising executive. Flynn realized that geofencing could be used to target women and began selling the idea to anti-choice groups.

Ugh...

Starred because it deserves to be ungreyed. But I disagree that conservative policies are reasonable about money - see our military spending, the long term cost of cutting funding to health care, social safety nets, and education. It doesn't matter if you save a dime here if you lose a dollar later because your…

When Kesha went to rehab she did tell them everything that happened between her and Dr. Luke. The doctors recommended that she break off contact with him. So I think her medical records wouldn’t damage her case at all. But I’m sure she discussed unrelated things with her doctors as well. I can understand why she would…

i highly doubt a judge will grant this. judges care about their legacies and no judge wants to be the person that sets the precedent for rape victims not having dr/patient confidentiality with their therapist

At least, that’s what they’ll claim is their motivation.

This will ensure any woman who considers reporting a sexual assault remains in her terrified silence for all eternity.

So. Many. Gross. Trolls. In. This. Comment. Section.

Man wants to advance the cause of woman, tells 100 women to get naked for art. Yeah, I’m not impressed either.

It would be slightly less ridiculous if he solicited men and women. But only slightly.

“LOOK AT THOSE SLUTS! NAKED IN PUBLIC BUT THEY WANT US TO RESPECT THEM? FEMINISM IS A LIE!”

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing it as anything else too. It’s amazing how naked women can be used as a symbol for nearly anything. Thing is, no matter what the subject, it’s still objectification. This thing is especially dubious since it’s a white dude yelling “for our daughters!” LOL, wut?

The philosophy of the artwork relates to the idea of the sacred feminine.

Oh cool, white dude asking 100 women to pose nude for difficult-to-decipher performance peice about “the sacred feminine” for a bunch of people who are already too dense to give a shit about women. Thank you, smart arty man, for figuring out how to communicate for us! We should’ve just been holding up mirrors and…

So ... many ... testicles

BALLS.
