The dangers of Amendment 6

myplannedparenthood:

 

Amendment 6, which will come to a vote in November, would mean women would lose their power to make decisions over their bodies in private. It removes privacy rights that have been in place in Florida for years. Read this article in Creative Loafing to learn more.

“I’ve been talking about that costume for days. Everyone is crazy with questions about that costume. I’m so sick of guys asking about it… Everybody’s costume is revealing. Look at some of the guys. You can see their whole body in some of those clothes. I met with Marvel early on and they understand the pitfalls of the superhero movie better than anybody. They never wanted Black Widow to be eye candy. Those characters are so lame and silly. And I don’t have anything to contribute to a movie like that.”

Black Widow Spins Webs Around THE AVENGERS

fuckyeahjosswhedon:

This is a REALLY great article about the different views on Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and how much of a great feminist character she is at Joss Whedon’s hand (and how some people simply can’t see this). I loved it.


Excellent article. Reading the reviews from people who simply did not recognize the awesomeness that was Black Widow I kind of wondered if we were even watching the same film.

“

Stop degrading the act of sex by calling it ‘opening your legs.’

I’m so sick of women being degraded all the time. Because women just, you know, lay back and ‘spread their legs’ and let men do whatever they want. They don’t take any active role in the actual sex act or enjoy it. They are just objects that lay there with their legs open. Then they are stupid because through poor judgement or mishap, they became pregnant. The man is never blamed or shamed or degraded for having sex. There are no phrases used to degrade the act of a man participating in a sexual act, at least not a heterosexual one.

I swear if I could punch people in the face for saying ‘they shouldn’t have spread their legs’ I would. I don’t even care if they are someone in my family or my friends. That is how fucking pissed I get when people say hateful shit like that about women.

No issue is black and white. Women have abortions for many reasons. Shit happens. The fetus ends up being deformed and would not live; the woman just ended a previously stable relationship; the woman or couple has children already and cannot afford any more at the moment; The couple may have used birth control but it failed; the woman just found out she has a serious illness and will not be able to carry a pregnancy to term; the woman was raped, etc.

So fuck you and your hatred of women. Negativity about sex is disgusting and harmful.
