Rio Bravo
Every time it comes on AMC I get dragged in.
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Later...
Government: Can we have our jobs back?
Women of America: No.

What Right Is This That Men Make But Do Not Honor? →
When are we, as a nation, going to get it through our heads that what we believe is not necessarily in the best interests of all, and that to mandate something as being such where it clearly treads upon the rights of others is inherently dangerous and morally dubious?

Last night I was sexually assaulted in the street (well, tonight, but I’m publishing today so I’ve edited as such). Let me be clear on this; I wasn’t actually physically harmed in anyway, but I was put under threat for my bodily integrity (that I might be raped or beaten), which, in Australia at…

Who is being persecuted more: a bunch of mainly old, white males who run the government, industry, and religious organizations, all of which are busy trying to strip women of their civil liberties, or the women who will be subject to the depredation and degradation the aforementioned men are trying to put into law?

For women, heart attacks look different. →
distractedbyshinyobjects:
Follow me down the rabbit hole for a second:
I’ve long wondered if this - that women don’t recognize the symptoms of a heart attack in themselves, and consequently don’t get the fast care that is vital for heart attack survival - is the reason heart disease is the #1 killer in women. Women statistically take better care of themselves health-wise, than men do. Women see...
