Am I the only one that has crazy religious cousins that drive them up a fucking wall?

"

We live in a country where politicians call rape a “gift from God” and suggest that women regularly lie about being raped. Where a group of young men in high school think so little of sexual assault that they thought it was fine - hilarious, even - to post pictures online of a passed out rape victim, and to live-tweet the rape, joking about the victim being urinated on. We live in a country where media as revered as The New York Times finds it necessary to describe an 11-year-old gang rape victim as “wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s.” Where a woman can be fired because her boss finds her “irresistable” and a woman’s rape case falls flat because she isn’t married.

It’s time to acknowledge that the rape epidemic in the United States is not just about the crimes themselves, but our own cultural and political willful ignorance. Rape is as American as apple pie - until we own that, nothing will change.

New Sex+!  My response to Jenna Marbles’ recent video, “Things I Don’t Understand About Girls: Slut Edition”.

Yummmm….love me some slut shame….makes my heart glow.

Gotta love late nights at Culver’s…

Guy I work with (talking about how people are having sex before marriage): “It seems to be the fashion this year.”

Manager: “It’s been the fashion since, you know, people found out it’s fantastic.”

And most importantly: make sure to do plenty of slut shaming!

A post-election thought: Did women’s silence about their experiences with abortion and rape help take down the GOP on Tuesday? 

For once, I might actually agree with Focus on the Family…
