Violence Against Women Act Passes House 286-138
I’m glad that this finally passed.
But it says a lot about House Republicans that stopping violence against women is still a contentious, debatable, issue in 2013
Come on guys, get it together.
Hey, Seth MacFarlane
Saying that you think a black woman is hot, doesn’t make you not-a-racist, or not-a-misogynist.
It just makes you an asshole.
Despite protests around Europe- in London, Berlin, Barcelona, Dublin, and Belgrade, and despite support from musicians all over the world like Madonna and Paul McCartney, as of 9:56 Eastern Time, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, of the band Pussy Riot have been found guilty of “Hooliganism, aimed at inciting religious hatred” by a Russian court.
The Judge chastised the women for “openly displaying disrespect…towards all Orthodox Christians”, “violating the common rules of behavior of the cathedral”, and that the “jerking of limbs” during their performance was “further proof of hatred towards Christians.”
They have each been sentenced to two years in prison.
Outside the courthouse, hundreds of people dressed in Pussy Riot’s trademark neon balaclavas protested, even though many of them are apparently being arrested or detained by police, and girls no older than 16 are also being dragged away by police.
Gary Kasparov, the former World Chess Champion, was also arrested by police for protesting outside the Courthouse (see above, being led into, and inside a police van)
People have so often been noting the similarities of this trial with show trials of the old Soviet Union. While there are many, I think the most obvious changes from the old days are the fact that there are open protests going on, both in support of, and in opposition to the Pussy Riot verdict; and that the entire world is watching.
It would have been unthinkable, forty years ago, for their to be American, or British, or even Russian news coverage of what amounts to a show trial. The difference now is that the world can see just how unjust and corrupt the Russian justice system really is.

So what are young women left with? Abstinence-only education during the day and Girls Gone Wild commercials at night! Whether it’s delivered through a virginity pledge or by a barely dressed tween pop singer writhing across the television screen, the message is the same: A woman’s worth lies in her ability—or her refusal—to be sexual. And we’re teaching American girls that, one way or another, their bodies and their sexuality are what make them valuable. The sexual double standard is alive and well, and it’s irrevocably damaging young women.

Ha ha funny?
FAQ #2
I keep getting the same libtard questions over and over so I will answer some of them here to clear up any problems.
#11) Are you Rick Santorum or are you impersonating him?
No! I have said this again and again. I am NOT Rick Santorum. I am a supporter!
#12) What are your views on birth control?
I am against it. It lets girls do things which shouldn’t happen. It’s against how things are supposed to be in nature. It tells them they should have multiple partners and the government should pay for it. It’s wrong. Very wrong.
#13) What do you think of my fanbase/my favorite TV show?
I avoid most TV shows and do not watch them so I cannot tell you anything about Homestruck or Pokemon or My Little Pony. I find most of these shows pointless liberal propaganda.
#14) Why do you hate gay people so much?
I hate no one. I love gay people. I have gay friends. I just don’t believe in special rights. Most of my gay friends agree with me on this.
#15) What do you make of the First Amendment?
I think it depends on how you interpret it. I believe liberals take it far too literally.
#16) What do you think of pornography?
It’s evil and anti-God. It destroys families.
#17) Where are you from?
Rural Iowa.
#18) What are your favorite bands/musicians?
Nickelback, Theory of a Dead Man, Limp Bizkit (after 1999), Creed, Ted Nugent and Elton John.
#19) What are your views on feminism?
It is a plot to ensure female supremacy. It is a largely White, racist, anti-man movement which hopes to destroy the rights of men. I believe it is overall plain evil and a real threat to our religious freedom.
#20) What do you mean Ron Paul is a “traitor”?
He refuses to support Israel. He believes we should withdraw our troops. He doesn’t want to invade Iran and voted against invading Iraq. He also has links to neo-nazi groups and Muslim groups……. he speaks regularly at Islamic conferences in the US while all other politicans meet with Jewish AIPAC leaders. He is a traitor who would destroy America within a week.
I sincerely hope that this person is the creator of one of the most successful, deceitful, real-seeming meta-in jokes ever.
Otherwise think about the fact that he is a an American citizen who gets to vote, and be terrified.
I really do hope this is a gigantic joke.
Anonymous asked: rant topic: The sexism Hillary Clinton faced in the ‘08 election
Jiffy, this is just getting ridiculous.
All I will say is that if my Hilldog had won the primary and the election, America would have a hell of a lot more Predator and Reaper drones conducting an awesome drone war right now.
Alright, apparently this was not a question from Jiffy, so I will answer it in a slightly better way.
I think that it was unfair that people should question a person’s ability to lead on something like gender. You don’t want to vote for her, fine. Disagree with her policies, her personality, her legislative history, but please leave her hairstyle out of it.
I would have no problem with a woman president. In fact, I think that we should. The Dominican Republic did it, Germany has an awesome one, Pakistan, not exactly known for it’s progressive views on women’s rights elected a woman, and of course maybe my favorite lady PM, Great Britain did it with Iron Maggie.
Plus, when talking about an awesomely ballsy woman like Hillary Clinton, there is no question in my mind that in four years, if the election comes down to Hillary Clinton or someone like Rick Santorum, I’ll take Hilldog any day.
Are you a feminist?
AnonymousI’ll give you my broadest thoughts on the subject, and you can decide for yourselves. And feel free, land of Internet, to ask me specifics if you’re confused.
I believe, and rightly so, that in almost every way, barring some physical attributes, women are the same and therefore just as capable as men. Therefore they can do anything they want. End of story. Some fringe people would disagree with me that, in keeping with believing in equality as far as is genetically and socially possible, a feminist can also be a woman that chooses to have no career and dedicate herself to raising children. When I hear people say that a women can choose to be anything she wants except a housewife, it is disingenuous and reactionary simply because that dynamic was for so long the norm.
That though, is sort of old fashioned “first wave” feminism, if you will. Today most things I read about feminism are focused on women and sexuality, which I think is an area where our society needs advancement. I’m not going to speak to specifics here, but my beliefs in this area are basically the same as my belief about women and their careers. Whatever they feel is alright is fine by me, because it’s not my body, and it would be hypocritical of me to hold women to a different standard then myself.
End of rant.
