Earlier in this pregnancy, I filled out my “Initial Health History” form for prenatal and birth care. You know: check the box if you’ve experienced severe headaches, diabetes, all sorts of things. After the usual “Emotional abuse,” “Physical abuse,” “Sexual abuse,” I got to this very interesting item: ”ANY unwanted/undesired physical or sexual contact.”

read the link. so spot on.

[trigger warning LIKE WHOA at the link for rape culture, coercion, and general unwanted attention]

Because I can hardly stand the thought of these constant erosions of personhood seeming normal to our daughters and sons.

knockoutbarstoolsports:

Rape jokes normalize the idea of rape. Rape and date rape is a prominent issue on college campuses and we fail to find humor in something that can wreck a person’s life. We at KO Barstool strongly disagree with Barstool’s attitude towards rape and we are exercising our own right to free speech in saying this. 

Found this Tumblr via @hoover_dam. Love it.

Let the market decide. Vote with your dollars. Poor people shouldn’t be overweight. If minorities just worked harder. You can be sexist against men too. Just go to college. Just pay for college. Work harder. Just write. Just make stuff. Minorities can be racist too. Your accusation of sexism is itself sexist. Hack the planet.

I have had it up to literally here with techno-tard libertarian free market geek assholes. The comments on this Boing Boing story about MLK Day and unpacking your privilege knapsack made me stop reading Boing Boing. Finally. I know — what took so long. It only took two comments for someone to deny the conceptual basis of privilege, which is privilege. The comments did not get any higher-minded from there. I’m sick of Coulton’s liberal cronies making faux-racist jokes all the time (looking at you Maximum Fun podcasts). I’m sick of all this enlightened techno-liberal white male bullshit. I’m sick of it all. It’s the same game, white male exceptionalism, but the players have just swapped jerseys.

What’s better than Revenge and Downton Abbey? A side-by-side match-up of both shows’ well-fed, well-heeled, not-always-well-intentioned characters.

I think I just fainted.

Christine Brennan from USA Today discusses the Olympic Qualifying tournament on NPR.  

She talks about how the tournament is highlighting the disparity between women’s programs and how it might encourage developing programs to actually develop their programs.  She says it outright: “Frankly, their national federations just don’t care about women’s soccer.”  Preach.

Also some discussion about how interest in a few USWNT players peaked after the WWC, but WPS is still struggling.  Old news for us, but nice to hear on a national news program.
