When you hear that a woman gets an abortion, you go nuts about the fetus having rights. You feel sorry for the poor baby. You feel angry because the baby was done injustice. It’s about the baby.
Taking the trigger word here (abortion) out of the equation, it becomes a little more clear what you should think logically.

Applicant day: University of Hull gets a generally big thumbs-up until I find out my course doesn’t work in the way I thought it did, which means bad times and i’m even further back in making a decision on where to go. Fuckery.

How to Make Love to a Trans Person
fuckyeahmenfolk:
By Gabe Moses
Forget the images you’ve learned to attach To words like cock and clit, Chest and breasts. Break those words open Like a paramedic cracking ribs To pump blood through a failing heart. Push your hands inside. Get them messy. Scratch new definitions on the bones. Get rid of the old words altogether. Make up new words. Call it a click or a ditto. Call it the sound he...
partypropagandaprofessional:
My friend, who is an adult man and identifies as a feminist, was telling me that men don’t have a place in feminism because feminism should be for the advancement of women.
I told him that seemed cis-centric to me and asked if there weren’t room for trans individuals in feminism, then?
“Hardly. I don’t think trans people have a place in feminism. I think their...

Workfare in Context →
boomvagynamite:
This week has seen a huge furore over the Government’s “workfare” scheme, whereby unemployed people, and those on disability benefits, can be forced to work for 30 hours a week. If they refuse, they can have their benefits removed for a period of three months. Amidst the uproar, I thought it might be worthwhile to detail some of the other work- and benefit-related policies that...

ephemeralcat:
I am a FAAB, femme-presenting genderqueer person. This means that I rarely, if ever, pass as anything other than female. And since I am almost always read as female by strangers, they treat me as if I were a woman.
This means that I, too, get catcalls and wolf whistles.
I, too, cannot walk down the street by myself without someone beeping their horn or yelling out their window at...
Ways Gender-Privileged Men Can Challenge Sexism
meeca:
(This list will be forever in-progress. Please add on as you see fit).
Challenge sexist jokes, such as dumb blonde jokes or jokes about rape.
Avoid using words such as “bitch”, “hoe”, “slut.”
Recognize when you “zone out” when women are speaking, when you value a man’s opinion more than a woman’s, or when you ask a man for information or advice rather than a woman.
Recognize times...

wesmonster asked: It's my understanding that the claims that Michael Fassbender abused one of his former partners are false. I always want to side with the abused party in cases like this, but I did some research and it looks like in this case it just isn't plausible. Apparently, Fassbender was not even in the same country as the partner who accused him, and apparently she has a history of crying foul,...

When I was 19, I married my high school sweetheart. He had never hit me in anyway. Never had yelled at me. He was in the Navy and we moved nearly 1000 miles away from home. We had been married one week when he first slapped me. I forgave him. We had been married about a year when he first punched me in the stomach. I forgave him. After about a year and a half it became common for him...

Anonymous asked: They aren't stating that at all though. They do say that all people should have access to reproductive health no matter how they identify. What they said, and many of these people are trans* themselves, is that the anti-choice movement is historically anti-woman, and that some people should be allowed to talk about pro-choice ideas in that context, i.e. reproductive health for women.
