readingavidly asked: you are probably getting a lot of comments about that post on abortion, so please don't take this as an attack but i find it a HUGE misconception that pro-lifers mostly think sex is bad because of their religious upbringing. That is all. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Think women have achieved equality? Think again. →
Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to “have balls”, or conversely she is a “man-eater”, “ball-buster”, or a “bitch” because she was “too” assertive.
Men are beat up, ridiculed, or made fun of for being “effeminate”...

'blackdignity.org' sets up abortion as the number...
continuing on our abortion theme today (because we have such a fun time over here at the scarlet woman), BET has been playing an ad recently from a website called ‘blackdignity.org’, which preaches the following:
In America today, almost as many African-American children are aborted as are born. A black baby is three times more likely to be aborted as a white baby. Since 1973,...

let's talk about abortion!
hey guys! So, I didn’t set out this morning to write a huge post about abortion, but I came across a post on ONTD that talked about a new show which MTV is airing called ‘No Easy Decision’, which showcases (in the vein of its hit programs teen mom and 16 and pregnant) teen abortion. The comments in the post were pages and pages long and after reading through them there were some...

what’s up party people! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmases and got everything they wished for! Needless to say, my Christmas did not go as planned, and so I thought I would write about it!
I was diagnosed with a severe case of mono a little while ago, and on the 23rd went into the hospital to get some relief. Now, for those of you who have never had mono, it’s awful. And...

Demi Lovato: what, what, what are you doing?!
Demi Lovato has been in the news a lot lately, mostly for unfortunate reasons. At the beginning of November she canceled her world tour with the Jonas Brothers and checked herself into a rehabilitation facility for what was widely reported as ‘problems with self-harm and eating disorders’. Sadly, it’s hard to believe that the stories about the cutting and bulimia are made up,...

The Senate moving to a final vote on DADT repeal...
The repeal is expected to go through with 6 republicans crossing the floor to advance it. So awesome!
The comments on CNN.com illustrate how ignorant some people of the issue though:
jdog707 : even though it was a tough pill to swallow for me. I think it is only fair that it get’s repealed. I trust that the military will uphold it’s traditions and general fighting...

yeahhh it’s kind of a chore to read the comments, but that’s where all the fun stuff happens! The ONTD community gets into it over Julian Assange, rape allegations, ‘rape being about men’ and innocent until proven guilty?

The last, best chance for a 'don't ask, don't... →
If the Senate does not pass the bill by the end of the 111th Congress, then kiss any chance of DADT’s legislative repeal goodbye for the next two years, at a minimum. With a Republican House, DADT repeal is not only never going to pass, it will never even make it out of committee. Meaning a minimum of two more years of kicking people out of the military because they refuse to lie about who...

One in Three South African Men Admit to Rape -...
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A new survey says more than one in three South African men admit to having committed rape.
A 2010 study led by the government-funded Medical Research Foundation says that in Gauteng province, home to South Africa’s most populous city of Johannesburg, more than 37 percent of men said they had raped a woman. Nearly 7 percent of the 487 men surveyed said they had...
In Idaho, it's only rape if the guy tricking you... →
This just came across my desk, and I had to reblog it - apparently in Idaho, if you get tricked into having sex with someone, the only way it’s rape is if the guy you think you’re having sex with is your husband. This case got thrown out because the woman was tricked by her boyfriend, not her husband. The judge recognized that it was rape, she just couldn’t do anything about it...

Some of you might be aware of a movie coming out soon called Blue Valentine, it stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams and has been receiving rave reviews for its realistic portrayal of a modern marriage. It has also been the subject of recent controversy over its rating.
The film was originally given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA for an “emotionally intense sex scene”, causing pretty...

TANGLED WAS AMAZING!
seriously guys - I just watched tangled, and it was fucking BRILLIANT! They did an amazing job!!! Much, MUCH better than Princess and the Frog. Mandy Moore is absolutely fantastic as Rapunzel, who, by the way, is an AWESOME Princess! Seriously, I absolutely adored her character. And Zachary Levi was also excellent as Eugene! The dialogue, the plot, the songs, the characters, the animation (which...
bookworm-chic asked: In regards to your latest post about TSA screening:
I completely agree with you that these procedures are outrageous and invasive.
But you referenced an anecdote about a TSA official being caught masturbating to the backscatter scan images. This is false. It was a satirical article posted by the Daily Squib (a UK-based site similar to the Onion). Here's the link:...
