Beauty pageants perpetuate the idea women are more valued for their appearance than their intelligence, accomplishments, or talent. Yuck!

WTF? She was seeking an opportunity and did fact checking on the guy before she met with him. She was a model, is that where your idea she was acting like an object comes from? Is modeling not a legitimate profession?

I remember in 6th grade my BFF had these two guys who kept trying to feel her up. They would knock her to the ground and try to push their hands up under her shirt. I would pull them off and punch the shit out of them. I was told to "mind my own business" by their friends, so I punched them too.

Men are taught that they have no control..."boys will be boys"....sound familiar?

I went to Intimacy and got "fitted" and paid a lot of money. You generally go up in cup size and down in inches. I still hate bras!! I don't have large breasts, but I can never find one that is comfortable.

There's another Jez article by Katie Baker that said it all to me about the rightwing stance against BC and abortions:

Many negative adjectives are related to gender or race. It's still part of our culture toward being other than male and white.

I do remember and it pisses me off every time.

It needs to be a twofold approach. Prosecute and regulation and/or break em up into smaller institutions. Ones that can monitor themselves and be monitored more easily.

That's what the banks want you to believe. Too rich to prosecute. Fuck that! Go after them and hold public trials with citizens as witnesses, not just "experts". When they settle for money, often the people harmed don't even get any money...it stays with the government. Fuck that too!

My daughter went into labor at 24 weeks because of an infection in the placenta. The body was doing what it is designed to do...take care of the infection by inducing labor and get that placenta out of her body. She had to stay extra days on IV antibiotics, it could have killed her.

100%prolife, huh? The fetus was not viable, this baby was not going to have a life. So you would choose for your wife to die rather than have abortion?

I've always considered myself a person first, then a women, etc. My mother taught me to be independent and hard working, and to enjoy sex (thanks, Mom!), but little how to navigate misogyny. I was enraged, at 12, when I learned I was expected to dumb myself down, be less than, to accept being second class. I truly…

I could maybe see if her hair was a distraction to other students, but the color shown was not over the top at all. I let my kids do creative things with their hair and clothes growing up. Only once did I send my daughter back to change before going out with me. They had good grades, no gangs, no arrests, smoked a…

Religious freedom is a shield, not a sword! It prevents any religion from pushing it's belief's on others. Get your church out of my government. Let me pursue my happiness though my own beliefs.

I like your thinking!

A lunch meal of 600 calories is not bad...if you have 2 other meals of same and/or a snack. It's the content that counts in that 600 calories. Some schools do breakfast as well, which helps kids that are not getting enough food at home.

You're kidding, right? I could name 10 right now! Now nothing but...well that would get boring. New plan....you could have intercourse when you're menstruating, but only BJs the rest of the time, so you have a very, very slight chance of getting pregnant.

I think the GOPs ultimate goal is for for unmarried WOMEN to stop sex, except for BJs....no babies from that...hell, maybe married women too if they don't want to get pregnant.

I meant "boring shit"....
