I get comments…

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of rape, violence, death, abuse, hatred and invocation of “my cause is more worthy than your cause”. If you’re not up for an infuriating comment, and an infuriated response-post. Please save your spoons for something more productive and sensible. This one has been bugging me for weeks, and I needed to get [...]

Anti-choice ‘feminist’ knows what you ought to think and feel

At least she says so. Faithfully Agnostic has recently posted two posts on how she makes her anti-choice stance match up with her proclaimed feminism. Of course, she calls it pro-life. I engaged for a while – mostly out of boredom – until I noticed something I had apparently not truly digested in my first [...]

They’re really opposed to breast reductions out there

From the sometimes strange and sometimes frightening list of search terms that bring people to this blog I have drawn these little tidbits. woman wants breast reduction That one appears rather neutral. No problem there. But then the ‘fun’ starts. breast reductions are bullshit why women should not get breast reductions how to talk a [...]

Vested Interests

Laurelin: if you are a consumer of pornography, you have a vested interest in it, you benefit from it, and therefore your word on how wonderful and harmless it is is seriously compromised. And: Survivors of sexual violence have a vested interest in opposing pornography. Without it, they would benefit from not having their abuse [...]

They got him in the end…

George Tiller, a doctor running a clinic handling abortions and especially what he’s become famous (and sometimes reviled) for: late-term abortions, has been shot. He’s been shot before, but has continued his work, but yesterday they got him. They shot him, and shot him dead this time. I’m a day late, I know this, I [...]

Adoption: A perspective oft neglected

Over at Shakesville an anonymous Shaker has written a very moving piece about the perspective of the birth-mother to an adopted child. I highly recommend this. Birth mothers are a demographic seldom heard from, and then generally only in the context of how soon they want to “replace” their lost child. This is a huge [...]

Proposal: Forcibly committing pregnant substance abusers

A recent proposal has been made here in Denmark, and I am so disturbed by it I hardly know where to begin. I managed to find a news site in English who had the story. New legislation could allow pregnant alcohol and drug abusers to be committed against their will in order to protect their [...]

Everything In Your Power

I’m a regular reader over at Heartless Bitches International. They have many good articles up, many good rants. I especially like the Rants and the Auntie Dote sections. Everything posted on the site has been through admin approval. But there is one section where small disgusting things slip through the cracks. It’s in the Pukefest. [...]
