“When someone works for less pay than she can live on - when, for example, she...”
– Barbara Ehrenreich, “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By In America”
I recently read this book, and while several observations and statistics stuck out to me, this quote, on the last page, I believe really sums things up quite well.

Say it with me now:
thisgingersnapsback:
Dr. George Tiller’s killing was not justifiable homicide, it was murder.
Blowing up abortion clinics is terrorism.
Defacing and covering abortion clinics in graffiti is vandalism.
Chanting “You’re next!” at doctors and clinic administrators is threatening them.
Preventing patients from entering a clinic by shouting at them, distracting them, walking in front of them,...

Atheists Are Oppressed

One of the more delusional things I read today.
Oh right,
Because we’re ALLOWED to run for office in all 50 states, right?
Nope, 7 states have constitutions against that.
But of course, scouting groups accept members of atheists families, tight?
Oh right, this has been an ongoing issue for decades.
Atheist parents have never, ever been discriminated against in...

Well. I don’t know how this ended up on my blog, I sure did not mean to reblog this.
However, now that it is here, I will address it as a reply to the original poster.
Your nationalism and blind patriotism disgusts me. So does your willingness to make the...

There should be workshop things for everyone, surely? Anyone can be a victim of rape but only young females are taught to be mistrustful and terrified of all men. They’re the only victims you hear about because they’re the ones who are more likely to report it and have support and not blame or ridicule. I...

Fuck circumcision.
fortheloveof-whores:
“I circumcised my son because it was the right thing to do for me”
I didn’t realize that violating someone’s physical autonomy to perform a dangerous, not completely reversible, cosmetic surgery with little-to-no medical benefits somehow benefited you.
I guess I didn’t get that issue of “bad parenting 101”.
It’s not just cosmetic, and it’s completely...

whoneedsfeminism:
I am so tired of seeing women claim that “I wouldn’t call myself a feminist” because they think the WORD itself (the name of this super fucking important movement) suggests separation, not equality. And they don’t realize how contradictory, and uneducated, and disgraceful they sound.
No, they just associate the term with feminist radicals. The idea of...
