This reminds me of the post going around which contrasted the pathologizing of public breastfeeding with the gratuitous, objectifying images of women’s breasts that can be found in advertising.

What you said: I'm Pro-choice, and I definitely think abortion is the right decision for some people, and some situations.

Let’s kick off the New Year with something to wiggle to: “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO.
What I love about LMFAO is that they’re shamelessly exploiting the shit out of the American public, making millions from doing so. They don’t pretend, as many Pop stars do, that they’re making timeless, innovative, heart-wrenching songs birthed from incredible talent....

This is what my pepper spray looks like. For the record, I didn’t buy it for myself, my parents got it for me. As I was walking out of Wal Mart tonight, without it, it donned on me on how fucked up it is. Not only the fact that I need the weapon itself, but it’s color.

And yet this ridiculously simple message frequently gets lost in useless debates about what women want, what men need, what’s right, what’s wrong, and what’s normal. Why can’t we just accept that...
