DREAMZONES: 6 Things That I Have To Say About The... →
garlandgrey:
1.
I tend to stay out of free form Internet Campaigns to attack public figures, for a host of reasons. Some of those reasons are Feminist and some are pragmatic and personal.
2.
These sorts of things tend to grind everyone down, on both sides. One side is subject to an escalating level of…
This is long, but it’s worth every syllable.

thecurvature:
(My feelings that Hugo is neither particularly redeemable nor worthy aside.)
This is about who we think has the right to speak to and for women about women and their lives, issues, and concerns — and whether that group ought to include men with known histories of abuse, let alone those who seem far more self-absorbed than repentant.
This is about whether or not women who are...
Encroaching Sabbath = Shortest Blog Post Ever
Regarding my earlier admiration for and support of Dr. Hugo Schwyzer:
Life is a constant learning experience. And minds and outlooks change as facets to which we had not been exposed become visible.
That’s all. Peace for now.

Hugo Schwyzer: Why I Resigned From The Good Men Project
This has to have been a difficult decision for him, because I know his heart was behind the idea of dialogue, but I applaud his strength in doing this.
On my own, I sort of flipped out on Twitter when I read Tom Matlack’s response to Amanda Marcotte’s response to an earlier response he had to something so far back I’ve...

rabbleprochoice:
The original author of it was, supposedly, out protesting with the Occupy Wall St. Protesters. They consider themselves part of the 99%.
I find it strange that they, then, titled their post “I lost a Child to the Occupy Movement”.
Why not blame the police who actually caused the supposed…

I lost a child to the Occupy movement.
itsallgone:
Just thirteen days ago I was eight months pregnant.
Everyone loved rubbing my belly.
I even wore my “Baby On Board” shirt over my gigantic stomach.

NOTE. I am leaving this up because I have had reblogs with comments, but at least three people (women, for the record) have pointed out that this has no corroboration and only exists as a single Tumblr post, and most is...

I find it fascinating how many people find focus at 25. It must be a quarter-life crisis type thing. (via wolfshowl)
I did something similar right before 25. May of 1990 is when I left home and my hometown, and set off for the big city (Chicago)...
The Rose in Bloom: The Land of Say It! Say It! →
This is amazing. That is all. Also: I love you, my Tumblr cadre. Most of you are like family to me.
theroseinbloom:
I say ‘I love you’ a lot.
I say it to my parents and my sister every single time we talk on the phone, or when somebody leaves the house, or when we go to sleep at night. Because if something happens, I want the last thing they remember me saying to be ‘I love you.’
Because...

WARNING. TRIGGERY. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Let me just start by saying this is completely my opinion, and my feelings alone, and not representative of anything from any improv theater or performer involved. This is how I perceived that particular person who took center stage at a show I was attending.

Quoting myself from Twitter, because 140 hurts. :P
To be my companion, you’re one of a kind.

I need to do more of this. Enough to entertain my friends, but not enough to get myself sued. :D

Tim Pawlenty: A Class Act. If The Class Is...
I’ve been seeing the news story repeated, concerning Tim Pawlenty’s statement that Michele Bachmann may not be fit to be President because she suffers migraines.
Because, you know, she’s a woman. And women are weak and unable to stay the course. At least, that’s the undertone I thought I was picking up; I was surprised, and not, when a Twitter friend of mine confirmed my...

“Here’s the thing: men that are feminists can renounce the label at any time and it generally will not harm their place in society. That is the advantage of male privilege.
