This blog focuses on many human equality issues and positivity: i.e. gender ideals, sexual identity issues, gender rolls, racial issues, cultural issues, intersectionality, body/sex positivity, sex and masturbation, zines, literature, activism, age discrimination, classism, politics and all the in betweens, the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful. Questions and comments are welcome. Hatred is not.

I am a 21 year old queer pansexual female-identifying feminist/humanist/lover living in the Southwest region of the states. I am passionate, I create fire with words, and I believe that speaking up and making peaceful change is something that always fuels my human need to communicate. Perhaps you feel the same; if you do submit something! Speak up! Rant! Tell me your story! Together, let's make some noise.

Critical budget negotiations at the White House have left Speaker Boehner refusing to give up even one penny of tax breaks for Big Oil and billionaires.

Boehner and the GOP are irresponsibly putting the entire American economy at risk because of their insistence that millionaires, billionaires, and Big Oil companies should keep getting tax breaks while seniors lose the health care benefits they have earned.

Sign our petition right now telling Speaker Boehner to end special tax breaks for Millionaires and Billionaires and to stop pushing America’s economy to the brink of disaster.

Democrat Wins Special Election Victory!

Congratulations to Congresswoman-elect Janice Hahn who won last night’s special election in California’s 36th District. Janice was up against a far-right Tea Party extremist and faced some of the most sexist, vile attacks we’re ever seen from Republicans. But thanks to your support, we once again proved that when Democrats stand up and fight to protect Medicare, Democrats win.

Thanks for everything you do.

Just because

you know three people who are
gay
of a different colour & culture than you
in a different class than you

DOES NOT mean it makes you accepting. It makes you look like an idiot when you try and use that defense in an argument.

If you’ve been called out for being a racist, sexist, idiotic asshat, then you might want to rethink the shit that comes pouring our of your mouth and body.

STFU, Conservatives: In the year 2011 how the fuck does "Shut your wife up... with milk!" get through to print? ↘

Do these Milk executives exist in some sort of 1950s time bubble? Are all the women at the company stuck in the typing pool?

Seriously this should have stopped with one person at practically any level of the process going “Can we not? This is …

feministblackboard: Milk Ads Sexist or Funny? You may now vote down that sexist ad campaign.  Poor men, huh? I guess God thought Eve just had to do everything she could to ruin a man’s life, like have to deal with the painful, terrible shit during their periods. FUCK OFF.

valeria2067: Michelle Bachman and her kind think that black kids had it better as slaves because they were more likely to have a mother and a father in the home.  WTF?!? “Under slavery, not only did black kids have a father and a mother, but a lot of time they had another biological father that also owned them. That’s being invested in your kids’ lives.” —Stephen Colbert on the preamble to the ‘Marriage Vow’ pledge.

I am a slut. ↘

Wonderful speech delivered at the Slut Walk in Boston. Read it.

The word “slut” is an act of violence. Not just metaphorically. It gives permission for people to rape us, and the person who wields it doesn’t have to lift a finger. It sends a signal: this one is fair game. Have at her. No one will blame you.

Which is why, when a Toronto cop told a group of law students at York University that the best way to avoid getting raped was to not dress like a slut, the people of Toronto took to the streets. And so have the people of Dallas, TX, and of London, England, and of Orlando, FL. So too are thousands and thousands of people planning to take to the streets in the months to come, from New Zealand to Amsterdam to Honolulu and beyond. All of us are coming together to say: enough. Enough. You cannot blame us for the crimes you commit against us anymore, no matter what we wear, what we say, or what we do.
