She’s free to speak all she wants. They weren’t petitioning for her to be barred from campus, they were petitioning for the school not to pay her to appear in a school-sponsored lecture. Just because you let every damn fool spout off doesn’t mean you need to give them a wad of cash and a rubber stamp of approval.

Chill Uncle Frankie’s my go-to guy for celeb news and gossip. Plus, he has great wine (though, admitteddly, his crackers are bland and foamy).

I’ll say it again: Feminism without intersectionality is just various shades of bigotry.

“What happened in the elevator?” is right up there with “What is the meaning of life?” at this point. I bet Pope Francis knows what happened in the elevator.

Quickie Update: I had my surgery on Tuesday. They got out all the cancer! My vitals are excellent. My body is healing well. So that’s good news. I might have to do chemo but we still don’t know yet. I do know that if we decide to do it, it’ll be after allowing me to recovery fully from surgery.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have Colombia Pygmy Rabbits:

Wow. I think this:

Sooooo, you’d rather the fetuses be disposed of like medical waste instead of being used for medical research? I know you Fox Newsies tend to not be big fans of science, but surely you can see the value in searching for cures to diseases that continue to plague humanity.

Of course you can. I can also still be angry at Obama because of his support of the TARP before he was President and for being a little too much on the side of the neocons for my liking.

My sister, who graduated from Georgia Tech, asked the following question, seriously:

No, they want it for the sake of sexism. It’s the ultimate female subordination - you are literally discarding your own identity, so that your husband can stamp his name on you, like you’re cattle. People are *really* into that, because apparently that’s what marriage is all about and you’d be insulting your husband…

Totally! The argument about family unity makes no sense at all, since the man could just as easily do it.

The amount of people I’ve heard who still think a woman not changing her name is a “controversial” thing is depressing.

Introducing; the Cock Dragon.

Not only are these comments vile, they don’t even make fucking sense!

What I want to know is how do people even have the kind of energy it must take to work themselves into the frothing racist misogynist rage required to seek someone out online and compose nasty comments? Like, I barely have the energy to do my job, help with upkeep on my house, and attempt some semblance of a social…

I broke up with a friend who, as I was crying from being exhausted by the sexual harassment I was receiving in a muslim country on vacation, told me “you should be happy you’re getting attention, no one is even paying attention to me”. Fuck her and her fucking face.

“There are people who think I started this account in order to brag about how many ‘compliments’ I get,”

all they need to say is ‘stop being such a little shit’ or something like that (as long as the kid can’t read)

My six year old’s favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs and avocado slices. I’m terrified that he’s going to start doing Crossfit during recess.
