ihopericksantorum: I hope Rick Santorum gets asked what the meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything is, and he doesn’t remember what it is and he forgot his towel, so the mice just laugh at him.

Ginger Snaps Back: men don't listen →
daniellemertina: Really, men hardly listen to women. It’s funny that our whole society and all of our so-called “relationship advice” treats this phenomenon like it’s natural rather than a symptom of patriarchy/ men thinking they’re more important than women. Every time a woman speaks it’s… This is awesome.

blogvader: Our culture with regards to our military is so incredibly hypocritical.  On the one hand we essentially worship the military as a civic religion, and on the other we treat our troops as if they are mindless automatons or plastic game pieces on a chess board.

Deadly force is permitted in order to protect oneself or another person from death or serious bodily harm, or to prevent a forcible felony such as rape, robbery, burglary, or kidnapping. Florida law specifically notes that verbal threats are not justification for the use of deadly force, nor are most...

I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion.” — Newt Gingrich There is just SOO much wrong...

On 'Using Abortion as Contraception'
blogvader: There are a few folks Tumbling about how they disagree with the use of abortion as contraception.  The sheer ignorance of that statement demonstrates to me that the folks making this point don’t know much about significance of reproductive freedom and why we advocate for progressive policies on reproduction. The country with the lowest abortion rate in the world is The Netherlands,...
