To give you a sense of how much Republican lawmakers care about women, take this vignette from Senator Pat Roberts today. When asked by a TPM reporter if he supported repealing Obamacare, Roberts sarcastically responded, “I wouldn’t want to lose my mammograms.”

Far-right commentator Tomi Lahren, who recently said on The View that her preference for “limited government” extended to abortion—“stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well”—has reportedly been suspended from The Blaze after a huge conservative backlash and a public hammering from her boss Glenn…

This “clarification” that JonTron has offered makes part of his problem incredibly clear.

It is perfectly possible for a person of a racial or ethnic background other than “Anglo-European” to hold particular prejudice—or even racist beliefs—toward white folk. Similarly, it is possible for a woman to hold sexist beliefs…

his statement is so weird. Obama was one of the best presidents the US has had in quite a while, while white people did overwhelmingly vote for Trump and he IS trying to ruin everything as quickly as possible. How does he not understand that the same standard IS being applied?

tfw you’re so obsessed with the idea of belonging to the Number One Main Ethnicity that you believe the entire rest of the world sees racial dynamics as a zero-sum free-for-all bc to imagine otherwise for even a moment would completely destroy the theory of everything you’ve spent your entire adult life carefully…

First time I met them, her two brothers and her father were discussing hunting and how big their guns were (seriously). They asked me if I had one, and I replied “no, men in my family have penises.”

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…

Thankfully my husband has never done anything super embarrassing, but here’s a fun story about an ex boyfriend.

The second time my now-ex met my dad, it went about as bad as you can imagine. My dad is snow-bird and live in the Florida Keys every winter, so I go to visit him every year and I decided to invite my boyfriend along as this time. We flew from Seattle to Miami direct, my dad picked us up and as soon as we got to the…

Meeting my (fairly conservative) parents for the first time, my now-wife was having a conversation at the dinner table with my mother and grandmother in front of my sister, my nieces and the rest of the family.

English is not my wife’s native language, and it turns out that expletives/slang-curses are something that…

The Suffragettes in the US and UK were a mix of classes. The upper classes had access to members of Parliament and Congress, while the working class didn’t. Their combined efforts forced change. It wasn’t clean or easy or straightforward, and it didn’t change enough to allow women financial control for another 75…

rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on, maybe they should invest it in their own healthcare.

thank you for using the term ‘anti choice’ instead of pro life. Anti choice is more reflective of the actual stance.

there is a very good chance that at some point someone she encountered there would do much more than bat an eye at her.

My wife and I were just talking about this yesterday because there’s (yet another) anti-trans bill on the way through the TX legislature right now. We had the news on, and they were interviewing a trans woman who I would never have even guessed was trans if she hadn’t just said so. So my wife and I were talking about…

I’d say she was being hypocritical if she had said that, like, yesterday.

For interstitial cystitis diet makes a huge difference. For many woman eliminating coffee is half the battle. For others, pineapple, vinegar, tomatoes, etc. (there are lists you can find online). Anything acidic will irritate the inflamed bladder lining. Also important: Prelief (which alkalinizes your pee so it brings…

Okay, don’t freak out when I ask you this but have you had the blood test for herpes? I used to work for Infectious Diseases doctors and got a huge wonderful education about the trickeries of the human body. People used to come in with interstitial cystitis diagnosis and chronic UTIs and the docs would do a blood test…

Only gonna say this ‘cause I didn’t learn until I was 22 and it caused me a lot of grief:

Seriously. I don’t get why guys are embarrassed to buy feminine products for their lady friends. Are they afraid that the cashier is going to suspect they have a secret vagina? The only real thing that could be inferred is that they are close enough to a member of the opposite sex that they are willing to run an…
