In a significant decision, the Punjab and Haryana High Court last week ruled that the right to abort a pregnancy in a marriage rests with the wife and not husband.

– Morris / Perceptions of Black Girls in Classrooms
its funny because this quote can easily be interpreted to mean that this is a *good* distinction. Like “black women don’t feel included in traditional forms of femininity, but that’s okay because it makes them stronger.” It’s a double edged sward,...

So Ariel Levy, writer of Female Chauvinist Pigs came to my campus the other day - as you may (or may not) know i’m not the biggest fan of her book. We’re talking about her in class, and our disappointment in her talk and lack of fleshing out the ideas in her book. Now, we’re not arguing that her book is utterly useless, over-sexualization does in fact happen in America. But when...

maehemsez:
keepyourboehneroutofmyuterus:
Asked at tonight’s GOP debate. Like that is a real question. As if birth control is on same level as “unicorns” or “leprechauns”. Is birth control now a “theory” like evolution or climate change?
Also, it is 2012 or 1927?
In related thoughts, my head is sore from banging it into the wall.
Yes, birth control, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster....

Obama is such an asshole because he voted to protect the lives of people who are threatened on a daily basis for performing legal medical procedures that literally save people’s lives. The nerve!
