See, I don’t care if you chuckle at images of Sarah Palin sucking 3 dicks.
You can chuckle all you want.
But it’s not funny. If the image was of Michelle Obama with that caption, we’d ALL furious and call the poster a raging asshole.
And yet, Sarah Palin is open season for tasteless jokes; because why? She’s a Tea Bagging windbag?
I hate...

Stem Cells in Menstrual Blood: They Can Even... →
padaviya:
However, a relatively recently discovered addition to the stem cell family offers a way to overcome this hurdle. Stem cells have been found to reside in menstrual blood, presenting a possible noninvasive manner to obtain large numbers of stem cells from a single patient. These stem cells hold great therapeutic potential for treating diseases and regenerating lost tissues, although much...
Epic DA Fail
Northwestern District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel,who announced the charges Monday, said the events that occurred between September and Phoebe’s death Jan. 14 were “the culmination of a nearly three-month campaign of verbally assaultive behavior and threats of physical harm.”
No school officials are being charged BECAUSE they had “a lack of understanding of harassment...

The Privilege of "Not Being Raped"

…This is very, very simple. Either the state of “not being raped” is a privilege or a right. If you believe it is not a right, then you have given rapists your permission to enjoy the status of vigilante- dutifully distributing justice to all the sluts, criminals and deviants of the world who failed...
Brian and I watch the 'Telephone' video
Me: Aw, they killed the dog.
Brian: Maybe they're sending a strong message about not feeding pets from the table.
Music, Language, Humanity
If you have ever felt belittled or dismissed by snobs who assert that the type of music you listen to is “not real music,” Maxence Cyrin is your answer. His amazing works demonstrate the musical genius behind such songs as “Right Here, Right Now,” “Around the World,” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But the works demonstrate the musical genius only if...

Thanks to Al Franken — and NO thanks to 30 pro-rape Republican Senators — Jamie Leigh Jones will be able to proceed with her lawsuit against Halliburton.
This is the kind of thing I expect from the people I vote for. Please tell him thank you.

North Korea Hour

Tonight the greenies will shut off their lights and bay at the moon for an hour in what’s known as “Earth Hour“, but Doug Mataconis makes a good point on Facebook: Hey @EarthHour crowd, guess what your silly EarthHour idea looks like when it’s practiced 24/7. It’s called North Korea And that’s the type of world in […]http://bit.ly/9F5zit

Hmm, but wouldn’t you conceed that such things happening are simply due to the imperfections of the law? Rather than that something is just simply not a right? So what if we could make not being raped and not being sold into sexual slavery a right? It won’t do a damn thing. Those people are still going to sell the poor children and rapists...

If it’s stupid, it’s still stupid. Oh, being raped is bad. Yes it is. Hmm. WHY DON’T I IMPOSE A USELESS LAYER UPON THIS CONCLUSION BY GOING ON TO DEFINE NOT BEING RAPED AS A RIGHT AND NOT A PRIVILEGE.

Thanks for the love
I am really excited about all the discussion around “NBR.” I wanted to say thank you so much to all my fellow tumblr feminists for your support. You know how disturbing it is to get bashed a bazillion times, and your support means the world to me. (Esp you, Kat- cause you were the first Femi-tumblr to ever reblog me, and you said something very nice today. And I hope only you can read...

I’ve told you now. Rape culture. It’s not just rapists, but culture that condones what they do. We are a part of that culture, so our responsibility (both yours and mine) is to stop being apathetic. Social change is not a matter of pinpointing certain people and throwing them into jail. It has never been that simple. What exactly did you think you were being accused...

The Privilege of "Not Being Raped"
I have been working in the field of victim’s rights for a few years now and have done my fair share of reading and debating over the issue of sexual assault. I recently had a revelation that has been very helpful to me when dealing with victim blaming, and I would like to share it with you.
Our society believes wholeheartedly that the status known as “not being raped” is a...

Worst Thursday realization ever.
What is the opposite of fear?
Talk of “disrespecting” or “downplaying” Sarah Palin are laughable. Sarah Palin has NO POWER. Sure, she is cute and fun and draws a lot of attention. But she literally abandoned a position of power for the spotlight. IF Sarah Palin has any power, it would be the so-called “power of influence” and I’m sorry, but if you believe in that you think far more...

Good news for those who can’t get enough of Sarah Palin: The former Alaska governor — who’s now a Fox News commentator, best-selling memoirist and Republican campaign machine — has a deal in the bag with the Discovery Channel, a source at the network confirmed to PEOPLE.
According to everyone from Variety to The Washington Post, the series “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” has...
