For those of you who haven’t heard, Senate Bill 1433, otherwise known as the Personhood Act, passed the Oklahoma Senate on Wednesday, 34-8. The Personhood Act seeks to define life at conception and extend the same rights to the “unborn” child as a… bornchild, I guess?
Apparently the rights extended to children don’t add up to much in...

Today in Washington DC the GOP held a Congressional oversight hearing about the new birth control mandate.
Not one woman was on the panel for the hearing.
Let me repeat.
In a hearing about birth control, an issue that affects largely women, not one woman was on the panel.

privilege a poem for men who don’t understand what we mean when we say they have it
privilege is simple: going for a pleasant stroll after dark, not checking the back of your car as you get in, sleeping soundly, speaking without interruption, and not remembering dreams of rape, that follow you all day, that woke you crying, and privilege is not seeing your...

I won’t stop talking about this because Chris Brown literally sent Rihanna to the hospital and people are still putting him up on a pedestal and saying “Look at this man. This is someone you should look up to. This is someone you should aspire to be.”
Even though he beat his girlfriend’s face in so badly that she got sent to the hospital.
The Grammys are telling people to look...

that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable.
