I want to graffiti that headline EVERYWHERE.
Sooooo money goes towards preventing and legislating against smoking but not rape prevention… I mean, how much fucking money goes into those worthless ads about quitting smoking? How much of that could go towards sexual education?

"Do you believe in birth control?"
keepyourboehneroutofmyuterus:
Asked at tonight’s GOP debate. Like that is a real question. As if birth control is on same level as “unicorns” or “leprechauns”. Is birth control now a “theory” like evolution or climate change?
Also, it is 2012 or 1927?

Glee, I think we're done.
I’ve been fighting with myself for a while now. I have so many issues with Glee, and yet I can’t stop watching. But tonight, I think I can finally stop, because that episode made me angry.
Not angry in a, “NOOOO, NOT QUINN!!!” way, though I do wish the writers would stop fucking with her and pick on some of the other characters on that show. And their One Tree Hill-ish...

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.
Not only were there no women on the Congressional panel, but not one...

what. the. fuck.
I noticed most of the statuses were by white female teens. That really just shows how glamorized violence is when teenagers think its sexy (which a couple of the statuses stated). Schools really need to be teaching teenagers about what consent, violence, and healthy relationships are. Clearly these teenagers have no clue what any of that...

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.
