Today in WTF:
Under the new Arizona statute, doctors and other medical professionals would face felony charges if they could be shown to have performed abortions for the purposes of helping parents select their offspring on the basis of gender or race.
The women having such abortions would not be penalized.
State legislators have said no such...

PREGNANCY IS NOT A PUNISHMENT FOR HAVING SEX

pregnancy SHOULD be a choice
Consenting to sex is not consenting to pregnancy.
Why do pro-life people WANT other people to be punished with a pregnancy?…
Consenting to sex is NOT consenting to pregnancy. I find it quite laughable that itsraininglocusts attempts...

Run-ins with crazy old men
Trigger warning for rape and sexual violence.
I have had several run-ins with old, white men of late, and I’m beginning to wonder if it’s some sort of social phenomenon. It seems to me that there is a special breed; it’s certainly not every old, white man I talk to on turf, and there are angry women as well. But nearly every time I’ve had an interaction I had to mentally...

Walk For Choice 2011 →
Tomorrow I will also be doing the Walk for Choice in my city. I’ll probably start off with this rally and move over to the WI worker solidarity rally later on. Please participate. We need to show Congress that it cannot trample our right to choose.

Check out Lisa Edelstein (who plays Cutty on the TV show House) in this poignant video.
As we well know, the Pence amendment (the amendment to cut off all federal funding for Planned Parenthood) passed the Congress. The bill is now on the Senate floor, and your senators will be voting on it within the week. I just called my senators and thanked them in advance for voting down the bill, and I...

…straight from the typing hands of Facebook users with low privacy settings! I could do this every month and see what gems come up.
(NB: I did not purposely pick out statuses from males. I picked out the silliest statuses, and let the cards fall as they may.)
Feminism…
Wow. Just… wow. Narrow-minded/ignorant/just plain stupid people abound.

TwoOfUs.org
After seeing an ad for TwoOfUs.org on Hulu, I became curious as to what it was all about. A website dedicated to healthy relationships seemed like a really good idea. It turned out to be disappointing in the lack of depth of many of the articles, and even more so in the invisibility of same sex relationships. I wrote an email to the people in charge, and to my surprised, I received a (delayed)...

Did You Know? Rape: part of God's plan
Another night in the ol’ hometown. I have history of very mixed experiences there. Sometimes I’m proud of my fellow townspeople. Sometimes I want to press a button that drops the entire town off the face of the earth.
Hometown is an overwhelmingly white, conservative, and Christian place that I never felt I belonged in when I was growing up. I was raised in a religion-free...

So rape culture’s kind of unsettling, hey?
I dig this guy.
The fact that this impresses me depresses me.
Watching this was nice, and I have no doubt that this guy really means it. But I still feel like its sort of feeding into the stereotypical rape scenario with violence and a stranger. Meh.

What is white privilege?
On turf, I see white privilege in action. Most of our staff is white. One of our staff is a black male. The other night the cops got called on us while we were canvassing a neighborhood (it happens from time to time). The cop found one of our canvassers first — a white woman. He asked her what she was doing, and when she said who she worked for, he chuckled and told her to have a good...

Like many of my fellow recent grads, I am awesomely under-employed. And, like new workers, I have done what I can to make myself more appealing to potential employers. New clothes, different font and format for my cover letter, staring listlessly out of different coffee shop windows, anything that could convince an employer to give me a chance.
But one thing I’ve never done is...

I had a wonderful interaction with a man the other night on turf. He answered the door when I knocked; it turned out he was there to take care of his elderly mother who had just left the hospital after surgery. He was probably in his late 40s or early 50s, with graying facial hair. He seemed very shy; he hardly looked me in the eye the entire time, and he had an accent I couldn’t place....
