No Easy Decision on MTV →
Hey feminists so, last night MTV had an AMAZING special on Markai who after being on 16 and pregnant became pregnant again. Only this time she decided to have an abortion. I was so so so proud of MTV for showing this. Even though it was at 11:30 at night lol and only lasted 30 minutes, its a start.
The one thing that I was surprised about was that they didnt have or didnt show any protesters. I...

I finally bought the Purity Myth!
Hey Tumblrs ! So I have wanted this book since FOREVER!
From Amazon
Product Description
The United States is obsessed with virginity — from the media to schools to government agencies. In The Purity Myth Jessica Valenti argues that the country’s intense focus on chastity is damaging to young women. Through in-depth cultural and social analysis, Valenti reveals that powerful...
I got a new book !
Here is a description…
From Publishers Weekly
Why, you might ask, would a healthy, college-educated young woman start stripping for a living, when she could work in a nice, clean office? Cody, now an arts editor for Minneapolis’s alternative weekly, had spent her whole life (all 24 years) “choking on normalcy, decency and Jif sandwiches with the crusts amputated.” When...
“I think babies must be going out of style because their clothes were marked down...”

Well the class description is…
“Introduction to key issues in Queer Theory, a field of studies that questions and redefines the identity politics of early Lesbian and Gay Studies. Queer Theory investigates the socially constructed nature of identity and sexuality and critiques normalizing ways of knowing and being. ”

Is Justin Bieber's hair soft?
This is a conversation I had with my 8 yr old cousin.
Her: Feel my Justin Bieber pajamas. Do you think his hair is as soft as them?
Me: I don't know. I have never felt his hair.
Her: Oh... His hair is like yours (rubs my hair). Yeah it's soft.

Steinem: "A liberated woman is one who has sex...
Yes, of course I do. But I think the quote makes more since if you think about the whole quote in its entirety “A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.” What she is saying is that if you can continue to fulfill your sexual and physical desires before marriage, yet still being able to get married or have a job, then you are liberated. So I think adding that end part...

My Big Breasts and Me
Hey! So I just watched this documentary called My Big Breasts and Me. It goes into the lives of three women in England who have really large chest sizes. Many times they hear girls way “wow could I have your boobs?… wanna trade?” and it really annoys them.
It shows how hard of a time they have finding clothes, dating, back issues and also how the women plan on changing their...

The Day My God Died
So I just watched this documentary, and it simply is amazing. Its so sad, but it gives out so much information on the sex trade business in India.
After the movie was over, I am glad to see that most of the rescued victims went back to help other girls from getting trapped in the business.
If you have time Please Watch This Movie.
pretty please?

MTV Presents "No Easy Decision" from 16 and... →
Okay, so everyone knows about 16 and pregnant… its my guilty pleasure. It goes into the lives of mostly 16 year old girls and shows their stories of being pregnant at a young age and how their lives changed after the baby was born. So while the show doesnt glorify teen pregnancy (it shows arguments, fights with parents, some serious money issues) it never has showed the other side of the...

What do you think about porn? I was just wondering...
(Image from Crashpad Series)
Hey! I dont think that all porn is bad. I do know that a lot of porn is objectifying to women in so so so many ways, but there is a big group of porn that I would call feminist porn … I found out about feminist porn just last year and I find it amazing. The difference between feminist porn and “mainstream” porn is gigantic. In my opinion mainstream porn is...

While it’s probably correct that 60%ish of people who rely on Fox news think the gays are going to make the military fall apart (you know, like what happened here in Britain ten years ago when they allowed open service, amirite?), it’s a whole lot of fun to mess with Fox news folk’s heads. Go vote no.
