So tired of derailing douchenozzles.

I swear to christ, the next guy who says "but men are sometimes falsely accused of rape" or "but all men aren't creepy assholes!" in a discussion of systemic sexual assault that actually exists and happens to damn near every woman ever, I am going to force-choke that fucker through the internet. I don't have ( Read more... )

Okay, first of all-- I'm gonna be talking about rape in comedy here. Fair warning. I don't tend to lj-cut these things unless they get explicit-- but if you feel like I should cut this, please let me know, and I will comply.

So, you guys know about the Daniel Tosh thing? There are, right now, two accounts. One is the blogger's-- linked to there ( Read more... )

I am considering deleting my facebook altogether... or at the very least, creating a super tiny reading filter that I can actually look at without wanting to force-choke people through my computer screen. This week, it's been post after post of blood-pressure raising nonsense. (Birth control = abortion pills, DID YOU KNOW?) I went on a ( Read more... )

So, the US House of Representatives just voted to bar Planned Parenthood from federal funding. PP was already barred from using federal funds to perform abortions, but now the people who use the service for birth control, STD screenings (including HIV), cancer screenings, etc. are also shit out of luck. And by people, I predominantly mean women ( Read more... )
