Article: Subject for Debate: Are Women People?

 A friend of mine sent me this article, and like usual i get to sit here and get pissed off about it. At least the media is catching on. Really. I'm female, not inferior. More updates on this later, i've got to get to work. Subject for Debate: Are Women People? I’ve always assumed that women are fully autonomous human citizens—who vote, even!—but now I’m not so certain By Jessica Winter | @winterjessica | March 7, 2012 | Read more: http://ideas.time.com/2012/03/07/subject-for-debate-are-women-people/#ixzz1qKadUKgz All my adult life, I’ve been pretty sure I’m a sentient, even semi-competent human being. I have a job and an apartment; I know how to read and vote; I make regular, mostly autonomous decisions about what to eat for lunch and which cat videos I will watch whilst eating my lunch. But in the past couple of months, certain powerful figures in media and politics have cracked open that certitude. You see, like most women, I was born with the chromosome abnorma...

Just keep digging that hole, Rick.

Just keep digging, just keep digging. There are 18,000 married gay and lesbian couples in California and at least 131,000 nationwide according to the 2010 census, conducted before New York state legalized same-sex marriage in July. Rick Santorum says he'll try to unmarry all of them if he's elected president. Once the U.S. Constitution is amended to prohibit same-gender marriages, "their marriage would be invalid," the former Pennsylvania senator said Dec. 30 in an NBC News interview. "We can't have 50 different marriage laws in this country," he said. "You have to have one marriage law." The comments didn't attract nearly as much attention as Santorum's recent invocation of his Catholic faith to denounce government support for birth control, prenatal testing and resource conservation - which, in the last case, he attributed to President Obama's "phony theology." But his declared intention to nullify past as wel...

The Hivemind Vagina

This concept is something I see all the time.  Not just with swingers but with almost any single man I talk to.  If I am not their cup of tea (or more usually, if I am not interested in them sexually) they always go for the "other hot girls" question. "Do you have any hot friends that you think would like me/would be interested in me/you could introduce me to?" Insert any variation of that question here.  Somehow, guys think it's a good idea to pester her about her single female friends, or her hot swinger female friends.  If you have any respect for yourself or the girl you're with. Don't ever ask one of these questions. Now I shall explain to you why you should not do this.  It's insulting. Also, girls aren't really into setting their good friends up with creepos they don't know very well.  Introducing "you" to one of her girlfriends means she's vouching for you; that you aren't creepy, or a douche bag or an ass.  She ...

Rapture Cookies for all!

Screen shot from American Dad So... it's the 22nd and we're all still here. Tisk tisk tisk Harold, I'm pretty sure it's a sin in your ridiculous religion to lie about the coming of Jesus. Now Harold Camping has run off. Probably out of shame or perhaps he just wants us to think he was the only one raptured... I'm not buying your bullshit Harold, because it doesn't pass the bullshit test. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and walks like a duck, you can be sure that you're a crock pot. I made rapture cookies from regular chocolate chip cookies, you are all welcome to one, or four, since you SURVIVED THE RAPTURE! :D And, if you like commemorative t-shirts, you will love these: Rapture Survivalware .

A note on Harold Camping (Familyradio.com)

It disgusts me that one human being can spread so much hate, idiocy and bigotry all in the name of "God." I find it difficult to articulate the absolute repulsion I feel for people like this.  Seriously, my skin is crawling having to even think of words to make this entry. I think the only people that make me feel even worse are the Westboro Baptist Church (Fred Phelps) but he is such a fucking nut job that I can kind of get over that. But Harold Camping has his own radio show that I sometimes pass while looking for NPR.  According to Mr. Camping, the world is going to end on May 21, 2011 (which is also D's birthday encase anyone is wondering, srsly) because of "the gays." As if "the gays" are a reason for anything to happen (except for sexy parties). Fundamentalist Christians just cherry pick and rose-glass their way through the bible, browsing along like a choosy mom in the supermarket picking only the most obscure items in the store. Then bringing...
