A lot of Christian women wear conservative bathing suits. So is a wet suit or swim leggings and a rash gaurd also not ok? Imagine having 3 identically dressed women on a beach, 1 is a conservative Christian, one is just really worried about skin cancer (that would be me,) and one is a Muslim who is also wearing a…

And if a woman is wearing a t-shirt and pants on the beach, will she be forced to change into a bikini? This is complete fucking garbage. And the ‘burkini’ isn’t religious wear. It’s just an article of clothing women can wear if they don’t want to wear a revealing bathing suit. I’ve seen plenty of women who aren’t…

This is so ridiculous. How can they not see how absurd this is for police to demand women remove their clothing in public when they pose no threat and are causing no problems?

Fantastic, now I need to go dig up all of my victims and put them somewhere else. Thanks, Nintendo!

The first amendment didn’t kill anybody either, but you’re still not allowed to yell fire in a crowded fucking theater.

and we have a well regulated militia. its called the fucking national guard so like this second amendment average citizen thing has never made sense to me. THE OPENING LINE IS ABOUT A MILITIA. If you have a weapon of war with zero regulation, and you aren’t in a militia. It. Doesn’t. Cover. You.

Rep. Duncan Hunter of California intended it as “gotcha amendment,” because he didn’t think liberals would vote to draft women.

Instead of the draft, I wonder what the politicians and voting public would think about a national service program, similar to the various countries around the world? National service for two years, for everyone regardless of socio-economics, race, creed or sexual orientation. To work locally and beyond on federal…

I’m agnostic on the draft itself, but if we are going to have it then all citizens who are fit to serve should be required to register.

The way this all blew up in Duncan Hunter’s face is absolutely delicious.

The idea that we should forcibly conscript young girls into combat, to my mind, makes little or no sense.

The sad face sticker on the door really hit home for me.

I think you actually just pointed out the flaw in so many people’s thinking when it comes to opposing abortion access for women.

THIS. When I was younger, still living at home with my conservative parents, I took a political science class at the local college. We had weekly debates, and for the reproductive rights debate, I took the anti-abortion side, because that’s what I believed. The professor asked if I thought abortion was murder and…

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

Here’s a link to Dr. Hern’s clinic for anyone interested in offering support directly to the people who work there, and here’s the National Network of Abortion Funds. The George Tiller Memorial Fund specifically goes to late abortions.

fuck off

My heart broke into one thousand pieces for this woman. my god. MY GOD. I CANNOT.

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.
