it’s their fault for not wearing a bra… or a belt.
but this is still hilarious xD
Yeah, because I know when I get dressed to go out and mind my business, I’m constantly thinking, “I hope this outfit doesn’t get me sexually assaulted today!” That is just so reasonable of you to blame women because some perverted piece of shit decided to go on an...

What not to call trans people:
stfusexists:
queersecretssucks:
Avoid: transman, transwoman, trans-man, trans-woman, etc. Instead, use: trans man, trans woman, etc. Why?: The one-word “transwoman” and hyphenated “trans-woman” imply that trans is a gender different from woman. The space indicates that it’s an adjective describing a woman, such as “Asian man” or “fat woman”.
Avoid: a transsexual, an MtF, an FtM Instead, use:...

Who is perpetuating this idea that if someone uses a condom or some other contraceptive it means you automatically receive a “get out of pregnancy” card?
Contraceptives FAIL. FREQUENTLY. They are only 97% (condoms) to 99.9% (hormonal birth control pills) effective when used…

The law approved by voters gives doctors the job of notifying the parent. A doctor who failed to do that could...

This comes to me from amazingdenzel, who writes, “Kudos to my [male] friend A for immediately shutting this “joke” down.”
No kidding! Gold fucking star. I also love how fast the person backs down from their oh-so-hilarious “joke” when confronted. Let this be a lesson to everyone: sometimes, people know from the beginning that they’re being assholes. You just have to explicitly...

Creeeeepy
My roommate went to and graduated from a Catholic school and she just showed me something completely disturbing in her yearbook: a Pro-life Club, a group dedicated to bringing an end to abortion. It had pictures of impassioned students holding signs about how women do regret abortion and men regret lost fatherhood. She said the group marched at Washington when she was at school there and that she...

Sex positivity and other lies on Tumblr

I remember my first encounters with the sex positivity/sex positive movement, especially through the internet. I remember loving the basic principle of the thing: “Sex is awesome! No one should be ashamed of their sexuality or wanting sex! Let’s bring it out into the open so we can all enjoy a healthy, happy relationship with sex!”
I can get with...

Lousiana Abortion Providers Sue Over Anti-Choice...

sisterhoodispowerful:
Last week, a group of Louisiana abortion providers decided to fight back against two new restrictive anti-choice laws. The Center for Reproductive rights filed a lawsuit on Friday on behalf of the clinics, claiming that the new laws “interfere with a doctor’s ability to provide the legal procedure and violate women’s rights to have an abortion.” ...

Hermaphrodite and pseudohermaphrodite. Don’t use these.
They are labels created by an ignorant medical community. Humans can’t be hermaphrodites. By definition a hermaphrodite is a creature that is either capable of asexual reproduction (plants and very low-order life), or has the capacity to physically change sex as needed to continue it’s...

Small things
My roommate has a habit of calling things (i.e. video games that piss her off, her boyfriend, etc.) ‘faggot’. Andreas and I explained to her how that kind of homophobic language perpetuates the idea that being gay is bad, even if you don’t realize it or think that gay is bad. And she’s now making a conscious effort to stop calling things ‘faggot’.

Having just read another blood-boiling statement that was sent to someone I follow, from the same ignorant troll that has contacted them before to play the slut-shaming, victim blaming game. Saying that certain women who choose to be promiscuous are to blame if they are raped. Besides the massive logic and compassion fails going on in their little troll...

Interaction commented:
Yet another method a parent can use to condemn their children to death. The product should come with a warning: “Caution, use of this product is choosing death.”
This was in my Ask box from slamdanceonyourgrave right after I posted it. The article I found it on didn’t have comments, but I knew there had to be some good ones out there.

The federal judge who struck down California’s ban on same-sex marriages last week refused on Thursday to postpone his decision, but did rule that it would not take effect until the Ninth Circuit Court has a chance to “consider the issue in an orderly manner.” The order can be found here. U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker specified, however, that his...

On paper, the sentence is imprisonment, up to six years. In the dank back rooms of Manila slums, and in the emergency wards of public hospitals, the sentence can be death. In 2008, at least 500,000 women resorted to abortion. 90,000 suffered complication. A...
