riannag: A seven-year-old has donated $140 to the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC) because he doesn’t think it’s right for gay people not to be treated equally. The child, Malcolm, was given $140 by his parents to donate to the charity of his choice. He chose to split the money between the gay centre and the HRC. The cheque was accompanied by a hand written note that read: “I am sending you this money because I don’t think it’s fair that Gay people are not treated equally.” A note from the boy’s mother said: “To teach the importance of improving the world around him, Malcolm was given $140 to give away to the charity of his choice. After hearing a story on the radio about the mistreatment of gays and lesbians, Malcolm became both upset and curious about the issue…to help, he chose to split his money between the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.” Malcolm, you are rad. Malcolm’s parents, you are rad too.

Brilliant Democratic State Senator Tacks 'Every Sperm is Sacred' Clause to Oklahoma's Personhood Bill

stfusexists:

stfuhypocrisy:

Undaunted by the monumental failure of Personhood USA’s push to declare fertilized human eggs exactly the same as grown ass adults in Mississippi, conservatives in Oklahoma have pushed forward with their own Personhood Bill. But one Democratic smartass isn’t having it, and she finds the whole thing so absurd that she tacked on an amendment of her own that would outlaw the spilling of semen in any location other than a woman’s vagina.

State Senator Constance Johnson of Oklahoma City has served Oklahoma’s 48th Senate District since 2005, but it was yesterday’s introduction of Senate Bill 1433 that really pushed her over the edge. The bill sought to define human life as beginning at the moment of conception, before it’s even implanted in the womb, and offers full legal protection to those tiny multicelled lumps. In the words of the bill, “the unborn child at every stage of development (has) all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state.”

Johnson submitted an amendment of her own to the bill, which would have added the language,

However, any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.

Brilliant Democratic State Senator Tacks 'Every Sperm is Sacred' Clause to Oklahoma's Personhood Bill

That means no masturbating. No wet dreaming. No blow jobs or facials or pulling out and coming on your lady’s stomach, dudes. No gay sex, unless a vagina’s around to catch the precious seed. No Boston cream pies.

The State Senator later willingly withdrew the amendment, telling her colleagues that she had introduced it to highlight the ridiculous sexism inherent in a Personhood Law that would force women to be pregnant.

Another pro-choice legislator, Democrat Jim Wilson, attempted to add an amendment to the bill that would require the father of the child to be financially responsible for the woman’s health care, housing, transportation, and nourishment while she was pregnant. The amendment failed, because obviously if those whoreladies didn’t want to have to be responsible for using their bodies to incubate another human life for nine months and then push it out of a tiny hole between their legs, they shouldn’t have had sex in the first place.

Sassy amendments to sexist uterus-related legislation is my favorite microtrend of 2012. The serious misogyny behind the legislation that leads to the need for the sassy amendments is my least favorite.

This is both tickling the feminist and the poli sci nerd in me. Love it.

cracked: Ordinary people. The courage to say no. The photo was taken in Hamburg in 1936, during the celebrations for the launch of a ship. In the crowd, one person refuses to raise his arm to give the Nazi salute. The man was August Landmesser. He had already been in trouble with the authorities, having been sentenced to two years hard labor for marrying a Jewish woman. We know little else about August Landmesser, except that he had two children. By pure chance, one of his children recognized her father in this photo when it was published in a German newspaper in 1991. How proud she must have been in that moment.

sluttybitchhh:

It’s so typical for people, mostly men, to think that a woman’s world revolves around men. People have questioned the genuineness of my actions/activities assuming that I only did them for men and not for myself. Even as a little girl I got the “You’re only looking pretty to meet a boy” and it went from that to “You’re only wrestling to meet boys” which I fucking hated hearing. I even had one of Mission’s assistants ask me that. it completely ignores everything that I’ve put into the sport. Do people really fucking think that I went to practice & worked out every single day, restricted my diet, bruised up my body, lost my weekends to tournaments, got into endless arguments with my parents, received sexist remarks from classmates and other wrestlers and other shit just to meet a fucking boy?! Jesus fucking christ. it seems like women can’t fucking do anything without someone thinking it’s for a man. Well guess fucking what? My life does not and never will revolve around finding a man. I do not dress for you. I do not have sex just for your pleasure. I do not take up activities for you. I do not smile for you. I do not fucking exist for you.

whims-of-a-feminist: velocicrafter: Meet Omari. Two days ago he returned from the hospital after being hacked in the face by a machete defending an orphanage of 35 children by himself.  This man dedicates his life to take care of 35 orphaned children from the ages of 2-17 in Kenya. A couple of days ago a group of thugs raided the orphanage to pilage anything they could find, after beating and slashing Omari’s face for defending the children and himself from a previous attempted attack. The only thing the children are living off of right now are things growing from their small garden, and eggs from a couple of chickens in their coup. Reddit looked to aim to raise $2,000 a couple of hours ago to help build a concrete wall around the orphanage with a 3 layered barbed-wire coil set on top.  In 3 hours, over $11,000 has been donated - and all the extra money is going to feeding them, giving them an education, keeping these children (and many more) safe, and building a new facility.  Please feel free to donate here: http://www.longonoteducation.org/ Remember, anything counts!!

I have lived as a man…I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to and I made enough money to support myself. And I ain’t afraid of being alone.” Walters: “Is that why also you wear pants?” Hepburn: “No, I just wore pants because they’re comfortable.” Walters: “Do you ever wear a skirt, by the way?” Hepburn: “I have one.” Walters: “You have one.” Hepburn: “I’ll wear it to your funeral.” Okay, the above is awesome, but what I’m agog at is the fact that women wearing trousers in 1981 was noteworthy. Seriously? I just — Really? It wasn’t noteworthy in 1981. But the reason it wasn’t noteworthy was because of Katharine Hepburn. Decades earlier, she did for women in trousers what Jack Kennedy is said to have done for men without hats.

It wasn’t noteworthy in 1981. But the reason it wasn’t noteworthy was because of Katharine Hepburn. Decades earlier, she did for women in trousers what Jack Kennedy is said to have done for men without hats.
