Women still die giving birth. Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate of all industrialized nations.
“Human life, beginning at the moment of conception, is sacred in all of its forms and today, I introduced a bill that will protect the lives of voiceless innocents,”
Damn straight! It’s a dignified and powerful response to an abominable situation!
Seriously at this point how the fuck is this real life. It’s too much to absorb. Like my new reality has shifted too quickly and I can’t fucking handle it. If I had the money I seriously would just go and herd cows at this point. The world has gone fucking mad.
They’ve been so brainwashed that they think the minimum wage, worker protects etc apply to OTHER PEOPLE. And once you fuck over those OTHER PEOPLE “we” the brainwashed red state voters, will rise again to prominence.
Is there a way to make Brandon Smith feel the pain of every forced childbirth?
“If my grandmother had had an abortion, I wouldn’t be here today,” Blanton added.
These fucking idiots that voted red in Kentucky. I am laughing in your stupid fucking face right now. They just reduced the fucking minimum wage and did away with prevailing wage! There’s your republican vote in action!
Can’t believe all this shit isn’t a big, gong show of a joke. People are supposed to suppress and in some cases hide their tendencies to be awful to others, not gloat openly about how cruel they can be.
The narrative of “Abortion is bad, because my mom could have had an abortion but she didn’t and so I exist!” is terrible enough without being like “See, good things can come out of rape!” while pointing at your own self.
He’s kind of sexy, and I say that as a half-Mexican who doesn’t date Mexicans.
Try getting old. I am 58 and my new superpower is that I am invisible to men under 80 as well as to a surprising number of women.
I thought I hated the invisibility. Now that I’m losing weight I want it back. I’d rather be invisible (and healthy and fit) than feel like I do now: which is like an object and a toy.
I was commissioned as an Air Force officer in 76. I kicked, punched and clawed my way through, until they broke me.
“...But this is a lie.” Yes, yes, yes it is. Because as Germaine Greer put it, women have no idea how much men hate us. They lie to us about it all the damn time, so that we might believe them and trust them and take care of them and feed them and fuck them and look nice for them. All the while they keep their boots…
Great piece. And may I recommend getting fat? I am completely invisible now. But nothing makes men angrier than a fat feminist who loves herself. Example number one - Lindy West. She rocks.
This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.
I know, listening to her makes me angry.
I disagree. She’s a spin master. No matter what you throw at the woman, she pivots back to her nonsense talking points, that’s precisely what she was hired to do, and she did a good job of it.
