Ok, lets just jump right in ,shall we?
When in the hell are women going to start counting in the world? Ever? I have been told I need to stop seeing everything through the feminist lens , that I need to lighten up . These stories remind me that *no* the problem isn't people like me , its people who choose to say nothing when women are mistreated .
Like when 12 yr old girls die during childbirth

or when victims of domestic violence are denied health care because being beaten is considered a pre-existing condition:

or this group that wants to make both abortion (even for rape/mothers health )and oral contraception illegal . I guess condoms would still be ok .

or get raped and imprisoned for 18 years .

Sorry , I can't get the links to be clickable. I need to get back into the swing of things.
Dammit.

Heh, I'm back !
Ok, so I haven't posted in a really long time. I didn't really "go" anywhere or anything; I just haven't had a chance to focus on the blog. I will try to get back into a regular posting schedule .
