Feminist marriage is a marriage between any two women and the welfare state. It constitutes a powerful feminist takeover of marriage by government, and places the NOW in the position of dictating government policy as a matter of “feminist Constitutional rights.”

Feminist marriage will be far more attractive to women than heterosexual marriage. Sexual orientation does not matter when two women marry and become “married room-mates.” They can still have as many boyfriends as they want and capture the richest ones for baby-daddies by “forgetting” to use their invisible forms of birth control. On average, a feminist marriage will have at least four income sources, two of them tax-free, plus backup welfare entitlements.

Feminist marriage is government-sponsored serial polyandry, uniquely enriched by one or more substantial income sources not available to the other two planned subordinate classes of marriage.

I was trying to find the constitutional argument against marriage equality, and I found out that the Center for Marriage Policy thinks same-sex marriage is a feminist plot to steal child support payments and create a permanent underclass of heterosexuals and gay men. Man, how come no one’s brought that to the attention of the SCOTUS??? (via stfuconservatives)

Who should we entrust with the care and teaching of our children?

So, let me get this straight. 

A teacher, who had performed in porn prior to her teaching career, can be fired for her past conduct because her students and colleagues are hateful whorephobic fucks who couldn’t remember that a sex worker, former or current, is also a human being who deserves respect, with the district superintendent saying that her past experiences in sex work are “incompatible with her responsibilities as a role model for students”…

…but a school counselor who openly says, on the news, that gay kids have no purpose in life unless they un-gay themselves and become straight Christian kids is just “expressing her First Amendment rights,” and so no disciplinary action will be taken.

What the flaming, festering fuck?

Does the school counselor not also have responsibilities as a role model for students?  Are gay students not also students for whom this counselor is responsible for being a good role model to?  How can she be a good role model for students who she has already told she believes are worthless and without purpose? 

How is one’s past history, which would not have been known to the kids she taught at all, if her colleagues hadn’t found her videos and downloaded them onto their phones to share around and show the principal (what a way to treat a colleague, huh?), somehow worse than a recent statement made in a very public forum advocating overt discrimination against a section of the student body for which one is responsible?

Chose at one point in the past to use your body to engage in sex on camera to make money, which you no longer choose to do and have not since becoming an educator?  FOREVER IRREDEEMABLE SHOULD NOT EVER BE PERMITTED TO EXIST IN THE PRESENCE OF DELICATE, PRECIOUS, INNOCENT CHILDREN LEST THEIR HEARTS BE TAINTED BY YOUR SLUTTINESS.

While on camera for the local news, say flat out that non-het children are worthless so long as they continue to be non-het?  HEY THAT’S HER RIGHT SHE CAN BELIEVE WHAT SHE WANTS THERE’S NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING I’M SURE SHE’LL STILL TREAT THE NON-HET KIDS IN HER CARE WITH THE SAME RESPECT AS THE STRAIGHT KIDS, AND THE NON-HET KIDS WON’T AT ALL BE HUMILIATED OR SHAMED OR OTHERWISE AFFECTED BY HER ASSERTIONS.

This is a truly sickening clusterfuck of misogyny, slut-shaming, whorephobia, homophobia, and Christian supremacy in action.  Look at all the messages being sent:

  • Once a woman engages in sex work, she is forever worthless and should expect to be thrown aside once any non-sex-work profession she attempts to move into gets wind of her past. 
  • Women’s sexuality is hot and belongs on-camera, but once a woman has put her sexuality on camera, that’s the only place she belongs and the only thing she should expect to do forever because she has sullied herself for anything else. 
  • If you find out that someone you work with as an equal was once a sex worker, you are freed from all obligation to treat her with respect, and it’s fine to share around the evidence of her prior career among other colleagues while at work.
  • If her effectiveness in the classroom is compromised by the blatant and disgusting disrespect and shaming aimed at her by colleagues and students alike, the solution is not to enforce codes of conduct that require everyone to behave their damn selves, but just to throw her out on her ass instead.
  • Advocating discrimination against as many as possibly one in ten of the kids you serve, telling children who are in a high-risk category for self-harm and suicide that they’re worthless and their lives have no purpose, is totally fine, and you’ll be protected from consequences. 
  • Gay children’s emotional and mental health isn’t worth protecting, and they should be expected to still work with and under the “guidance” of someone who has outright told them they’re worthless, so long as she said it because Jesus.
Fuck every single person involved in the handling of both of these situations.  Principals, colleagues, judges, superintendents, everyone.  Y’all can just rot in hell for being terrible, terrible examples of human beings.

Shitting on abuse survivors: totally the Christian thing to do.

The Violence Against Women Act, which provides funds and programs to help victims/survivors of domestic violence and all kinds of abuse, is the sort of thing you’d think would be a no-brainer for wide bipartisan support.  Who could be against helping women who’ve been abused?  Only actual abusers themselves, right?  Or abuse apologists?

Or, apparently, devout professional Christians.

The FRC seem to be shitting their pants over this mainly because the current update to VAWA would help those gross unnatural queer women, illegals who deserve whatever they get for being in this country in the first place, and Native women who haven’t had the courtesy to die off and stop reminding us of our genocidal roots.

I mean, I’m trying to be hyperbolic here, but I kind of feel like it’s not that far from the truth.  Those are the things they cite in their opposition - that they can’t approve of a bill which has provisions to help queer women (because that’s “giving them special rights”), undocumented immigrants, etc.  Their contempt is further measured by their claim that the Democrats added these oh-so-awful pieces to the bill purely in order to force Republicans to oppose it so the Dems can point to it as evidence that the GOP is anti-woman.

First of all, we didn’t need additional evidence.  Y’all trumpet your misogyny to the skies each and every damn day.  You are to the point where people are trying to hold workshops to teach you fuckers to keep your goddamn mouths shut about women’s issues because of the massive backlash every time you speak.  WE KNOW you’re anti-woman.  It’s never been up for debate.

But second of all, it’s disgusting that the only reason they can apparently think of for specifically ensuring that underserved and more-vulnerable populations receive the help they need is for political maneuvering.  Not because there are people who need help.  Only because politics.

Projection complex, thy name is the GOP.

Oh, but it’s not just that the bill specifically looks to help someone other than straight white American citizens.  It’s that, and the money:

You can help by contacting your Senators and urging them to vote against VAWA and end the real abuse of taxpayer dollars.
Emphasis original. 

So let me get this straight: women being repeatedly assaulted, physically, emotionally, and/or sexually: not really abuse, why are we wasting our time on this?  The government spending money to help those women: ABUSE!  SHUT IT DOWN RIGHT NOW STOP ABUSING MY WALLET WAHHHH

I feel like a fucking broken record here, but Republicans, JFC your priorities are terrible.

Sen. Campfield, what the fuck did I JUST say about not wanting to write about you any more?

It is becoming more and more clear that Stacey Campfield is the sort of man who should not be in a position of authority over an amoeba, much less any more complex life-forms.  Check out this breathtakingly condescending and ableist response to a constituent of his, who emailed to criticize his recent legislative grandstanding:


Telisha Cobb:  Senator Campfield, I am writing to you today as a mother, active citizen, and born and raised Tennessean.  You are an embarrassment to our great state.  Folks all over the country and here in Tennessee are looking at the bills you are proposing in shock.  They are the most ignorant and morally lacking legislation that could be proposed this year.  It is clear that you are targeting homosexuals and low-income families with hogwash legislation.  You need to search your heart, your values and your Christianity to find a better way to represent us as a whole.  We will do everything in our power to make sure you are not here in 2014.  There are numerous grass roots parties that are making their voices heard.
Stacey Campfield:  You seem to have some serious, deep anger issues.  Have you ever thought about therapy?  I hear they are doing some wonderful things with medications these days.
What.  The.  Unholy.  Fuck.

Her email was simple, direct, dignified, and professional, a simple statement of “This stuff you’re doing is Very Not Okay.  Stop it.”  And to this, he thought it was acceptable to, in essence, tell her that she’s crazy for disagreeing with him and should be medicated until she agrees?

Which is reprehensible in and of itself, but then you get into all the ways that a powerful white man telling a woman (of color?  I would guess so from the pictures I found but I don’t know if she identifies as such) that she’s “angry” and needs therapy or medications draws on a whole history of pathologizing women’s anger and dissent as a major avenue of structural misogyny, and it gets about 100000x uglier.

Kitten, you seem to have forgotten how this whole elected-representative-thing works.  You are not the lord of your own little fiefdom by virtue of having been elected.  You are a representative - that is, you are there to represent the people who elected you.  And if they feel you are doing a poor job of representing them, they have every right in the world to tell you so and demand that you shape the fuck up, because while elected official/voter doesn’t quite analogize with an employer/employee situation, it’s close enough, and YOU ARE NOT THE EMPLOYER.  You are the worker.  And your bosses are hauling your ass in for a performance review and/or write-up for failure to adequately perform your job duties.  Which makes it absurdly inappropriate to sass them and display this kind of condescendingly rude attitude.  When the people who gave you your job call you on the carpet for wasting company time and resources on being an asshole, you listen up and change your ways, or your ass is out on the curb.

For someone who is an official in a democratic system of government, you have an awful lot of contempt for citizen input, which is one of the core mechanisms by which any sort of democracy operates.  Somehow I’m thinking you’d do better playing God on your own little private island somewhere.  Why don’t you go try that instead of trying to play God here the U.S.?

And by the way, Stacey?  Yeah, they are doing some pretty amazing things with medications.  I’m on some of them and they’ve fucking changed my life.

But I still think you’re a reprehensible shitbag with the morals of a bloodsucking insect, and my opinion and anger are in no way invalidated by the medication I take.

Fuck off back to the cesspit you crawled out of, you suppurating anal sore.

That angry enough for you?

MY UTERUS IS SO FUCKING METAL

Conservatives keep finding new ways to surprise and delight/horrify me.  It’s pretty impressive, to be honest.  Today’s hilaritragic dose of “Excuse me, in which reality do you live?  It sounds like a fascinating place to visit!” comes from Kevin Swanson of Generations Radio, a conservative Christian radio show based out of Colorado Springs:

[S]cientists that have done research on women’s wombs after they’ve gone through the surgery [have] compared the wombs of women who were on the birth control pill to those who were not on the birth control pill. And they have found that with women who are on the birth control pill, there are these little tiny fetuses, these little babies, that are embedded into the womb. They’re just like dead babies. They’re on the inside of the womb. And these wombs of women who have been on the birth control pill effectively have become graveyards for lots and lots of little babies.
A stick-figure comic of a political rally.  One figure in the crowd holds up a large sign reading [citation needed] in the style of Wikipedia’s superscript notation of incomplete sources.

DEAD BABY GRAVEYARD WOMB is going to be the name of my death metal band, you guys.  I just can’t let a name like that go to waste.  Either that, or the title of my memoirs.  Maybe both.  It sounds like the title of a Dethklok album, doesn’t it? 
Nathan Explosion: This is metal… for [dead fetuses].
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: [dead fetuses] don’t gots no good music to listen to.
William Murderface: Yeah, it’s true.
Props to Mr. Hyperbole for working in the phrase “dead babies” or “little babies” three times in five sentences, I guess.  Repetition, repetition, repetition.  Say it over and over again and people will eventually believe it. 

Congratulations, Kevin Swanson.  Your hard-on for incredibly, absurdly inaccurate “science” and attempts to wring the most emotionally-compelling/viscerally disgusting insults out of it have, like vegangelicals and the “bloodmouths” thing, flopped so hard you’ve actually created a sweet new term for us to describe just how hardcore and metal our bodies are.

Thanks bro!

People seeking abortions may only think about their decisions on business days, according to South Dakota

In the chip-chip-chip fight to render Roe a meaningless statute by eroding access to abortion services until we have the right, but not the ability, to access it, waiting periods have been a core piece of the movement.  Force people to make two visits to the clinic, which makes it harder for people who don’t live near the clinic, which very few people do at this point what with absurd over-zoning and regulation forcing clinics out of business.  Force people to have to arrange rides, time off work, childcare, or missing class not once, but twice, possibly missing out on an extra day’s pay in the process.  Make the whole thing drag a little more and hope that some of them tip over into the 2nd trimester while they have to wait, so that it becomes even more difficult, costly, and time-consuming to get that abortion.  And do it all under the plausible deniability of “we just want to make sure you don’t do something you’ll regret!  We are helping by making sure you take lots…of…time…to think about this (because we assume you haven’t already thought about this, because if you had, obviously you wouldn’t have decided to do it, Q.E.D.).”

And last year, if you’ll recall, South Dakota made infamy by insitituting the longest waiting period thus far, at 72 hours (most states that have it are 24 hours, though I think there might be a couple 48s). 

Not satisfied with that, they’re now trying to make those 72 hours stretch  e v e n   f u r t h e r  by specifying that they mean 72 hours, not including weekends and holidays.

>.>
<.<
o.O

So…if the ostensible point of waiting periods is about making sure pregnant people SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE DOING YOU FILTHY BABY-MURDERING WHORE take enough time to come to a reasonable decision so they don’t do anything they’ll later regret…what does it matter which days the sit-and-think period encompasses?  Are people incapable of considering serious, life-altering decisions* on their days off?**  If anything, I’d think that’d be when people have more time and leisure to consider major issues, when they’re not busy taking care of work, kids, and/or school obligations.

It all makes perfect sense when you know what’s really going on, whisper-thin veil of concern for pregnant people aside, but usually they try a little harder to hold on to that veil.  When they start proposing restrictions that no longer make even surface sense with their supposed reasoning, they’re beginning to risk more people figuring out what’s actually happening.  Which suggests two very scary possibilities, to me.  Either they really do believe that people won’t notice, that the average public isn’t paying enough attention to catch the disconnect and suss out their real motivation (and what scares me here is the possibility that they’re right) - or they are so confident in their political power after all the gerrymandering bullshit of late that they don’t care how it looks, they’re sure it’ll go through anyway, and that’s all that matters to them.

Like I said.  Scary possibilities.

*It’s a serious, life-altering decision for some, but not for all; I phrase it this way because that’s the framing that always surrounds this issue when we talk waiting periods.
**Not that weekends and holidays are everyone’s days off, though a lot of people forget that.  Retail and food service don’t stop for holidays and weekends.  And considering that it’s low-income people, like those who work retail and service industry jobs, who are generally most affected by abortion restrictions, it sort of makes this doubly shitty by imposing a more or less irrelevant concept of “non-work days” on the people it’s enforced against.

Freedom In Wickedness: Victoria's Secret Introduces Push-Up Sports Bra

widdershinsgirl:

freedominwickedness:

In what can only be thought of as an epic demonstration of the fact that mainstream women’s underwear is designed by and for men, Victoria’s Secret just introduced a Push-Up Sports Bra.

This completely nutty product does the opposite of what an actual sports bra does; a sports bra pushes…

Dear VS: You are seriously trying to make me shop at Soma Intimates, aren’t you? First that horrifyingly uncomfortable-looking and stereotype-embracing “Asian” line and now this?

And they expect you to pay $55 for the privilege of “medium support” in a sexay “sports” bra.  

Wow, VS.  Just, wow.

Rachel Maddow explains it all for you - just how extreme the Republican Party has become on the subject of abortion.  It can’t be emphasized enough - the Republican Party has been taken over by far-right extremists, reactionaries who want to turn the clock back by at least 80 years.  Electing ANY Republican to office, whether on the federal, state or local level, endangers your economic security and personal freedom.  I am not overreacting.  The danger is real.

Emphasis mine, how many times have I asked myself that? Am I overreacting? These men really can’t take everything away, can they? Surely I’m just making this seem worse than it really is …

Yes, goddamnit, it is that bad, it is that big of a threat, to me, my daughters, to women everywhere.

The gaslighting, it’s horrible.
