It's really bad enough that Republicans in this state don't understand how clocks and deadlines work; now they're trying to punish a lawful (and prematurely ended) filibuster? Fuck, it was bad enough when my neighbors were voting in people who hated Government, now they're voting people in who don't even understand…

Yeah no sure the reason the finance sector is full of well connected white men is because those guys just all happened to be the best people for the jobs and they all worked really hard to get there and have earned every penny.

I'd be happy to take most of Europe's abortion policies. But as Katha Pollitt points out, you anti-choicers probably wouldn't care much for them. http://www.thenation.com/article/175527…

The commodification of the unwilling participant has been so eroticized in this culture its insane! It all comes out of the whole no means yes mentality. Its why i personally can't watch most of the porn out nowadays, & i dont mean fetish stuff i mean mainstream meat & potatoes millennial porn. The hate-fuck woman…

It's actually more insulting than their attempts to restrict our rights. They obviously think that we are not intellectually capable of using those rights without someone lording over us. (As I sit in Texas, which Wisconsin only wishes it could emulate right now. Tampons are a weapon, yo.)

The Anti-abortion movement isn't about children. It's about women's sexual freedom. It sounds like rhetoric, but look at their demonstrated priorities.

I know, but it is insulting that they think that by saying "protecting women", we will all just smile and applaud. It's like they think we won't get it because they used big words.

I get *so* frustrated at the stereotype women are emotional/angry/crazy on their periods. The majority of women are fine. I don't understand women do the whole 'I get such bad cramps I get annoyed easily, etc." Take a ibuprofen. Go on birth control and then you're periods a breeze. This isn't the dark ages.I…

This. Exactly. Castro is an extreme example but, as I said elsewhere, his "excuses" are versions of things I hear every day. I have luckily never experienced violence at the hands of a man, but I have actually had the experience of a man handing out my phone number to all of his friends simply because I had sex with…

Everyone can say, "I don't need to waste my time listening to this monster." But he's right. He's not a monster. He's a human being, variety male. He's not essentially different from you or me or any other human being. He's not a different species. And he's probably telling the truth about the fact that he's a very…

Should we also require doctors to ask all pregnant women if they've considered abortion and hand them pamphlets with information on where to obtain them?

Make that a four hour (or longer) video.

Yeah, this has always been my thought. Even if it is absolutely 100% not real, you're still INVITING EVIL SPIRITS INTO YOUR HOME SO THEY CAN EAT YOUR SOUL AND POSSESS YOU FOR ETERNITY.

Approaching the issue of homosexuality by saying things like "hate the sin, not the sinner" is not making yourself into any less of a bigot.

What you are essentially saying is, "I love you, and you're fine the way you are, as long as you never attempt to seek out love and affection, or an intimate and loving…

Am I meant to believe that conservatives have never received the horrible news that their prenatal testing results came back with a life threatening complication for the fetus? Are there no republicans out there who have gone through this or had to consider terminating even a wanted pregnancy? Because these results…

This is so stupid for so many reasons - but reason number 462 is that (at least from what I've seen) abortions after 20 weeks are some of the most obviously clear-cut cases out there - ie cases of severe abnormalities with the foetus. Even people who oppose abortion generally often believe it's better to abort a 20…

Scary Feminist . . .

For most conservatives, isn't that redundant?

Meanwhile my grandmother went to college in the 30s, was a pediatric nurse, told me once that she "didn't understand why everyone is so upset. Of course we should let the gays marry. They're in love aren't they? It's none of my business." and voted straight Dem in 2008 (a month before her death, I took off work to…

Holy shit scariest sentence in the Western world right now: "HEY I'M GEORGE ZIMMERMAN AND I'M HERE TO HELP!"

You probably shouldn't shoot people while on neighborhood watch, either, but G.Z. is a maverick so rules don't apply.
