Never, EVER forget that the most important thing you can be as a woman is beautiful.

All the bottles are still white, tho.

Just like men were shocked about the pussy grabbing but still voted for Trump because saying I don’t like the pussy grabbing was enough of an action.

I admit that I’m not going to watch this out of self-care. I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian church with patriarchal leanings. The Handmaid’s Tale might cause me to have a mental break and I’m not going to risk that. For me, it is too real. I know the people that want to take us back.

That’s something I go back and forth about: like you, I always believed that just because something is hard to watch doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch it. After all, plenty of people don’t have the option of looking away! But when does it become gratuitous? When am I using that as a substitute for meaningful action?…

There’s something I think I was instilled with by my parents, that you can’t look away because something is difficult to look at. So I’ve read/watched things that were horrifying but powerful, sometimes to my own detriment. Now I’ve been talking to people who don’t watch or read certain things out of self care, and…

Several men have commented that they don’t have an interest in watching it because “it seems really feminist.” NO SHIT! And that why you should watch it and then come at me with your “this couldn’t really happen” bs so I can take you down.

My dad and I have been arguing over email because he just doesnt think it’s realistic at all. I have decided to do the mature thing and give him the silent treatment half our of spite and half out of self-care.

Oh god this kind of statement bothers me sooo much. They always say shit like that while doing absolutely nothing to change things, even in their own lives.

More than one man has commented to me that he couldn’t stand to watch HMT because he didn’t like seeing the mistreatment of women. Huh!

Paul Ryan is inches away from shedding tears of joy at living his college dream: Taking away health care from millions of people. Does he whack off to a picture of Ayn Rand?

Do these guys even macroeconomics, bruh?

That there is a whoooooole lotta preexisting conditions in one photo.

The smug certainty that their ideology is absolutely correct even though it’s going to cause crushing hardship for so many people is just dumbfounding. And they will never admit they were wrong, even when they get confronted by the stories of suffering. It will always be someone else’s fault.

Just commented something along these lines.

Look at that Jesus-y bitch wearing her cross as if she is not acting in direct contravention of Jesus’s teachings.

They literally passed something that will kill their own people and they’re all smiles.

My 84 year old very catholic, very pro-choice (who knew you could be both?) Grandmother burst into tears when we heard that. Since she was a teenager, she has supported a woman’s right to choose and advocated for it strongly inside her church. She even started a book club to try and help other Catholics see why being…
