[Today’s guest post is by Beth Kulikov.] Women have been oppressed throughout history, in all parts of the globe. Our oppressors have been men, which is in no way meant to express an anti-man sentiment. Human nature is flawed and the human condition plagues us all. If women had been the ones with the stronger […]
When the Women’s March on Washington event first posted the day after the election of Donald Trump, I immediately marked myself as interested. Like may secular, liberal, millennial women, I was devastated and taken completely off guard with the outcome of the election. I kept thinking about the way Megyn Kelly had been treated, about […]
[Today’s guest post by Sarah Anne first appeared in a newsletter for the Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians (PLAGAL) and is reprinted with permission.] June 24, 25th, and 26th of 2016, the first annual Pro-Life Women’s Conference was held in Dallas, Texas. The conference was the vision of Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director, […]
I really want to like MTV’s “If Famous Movie Romances Were Feminist” video: Unpopular opinion: I’ve always had a deep-seated hatred for Grease, not only because of the “did she put up a fight” line this sketch takes issue with, but also because of the royally screwed up message you get from the movie’s conclusion.

I recently read two very different articles recounting family conversations about abortion, each important in its own way. First, Broadly gives us Talking to My Grandma About Her 12 Abortions. The author’s grandmother lived in the U.S.S.R., which was the first nation to make elective abortion legal. Not only that, abortions were paid for by the […]
In lieu of a blog post today, we have comics. See ’em and share ’em here.
When I hear the phrase “Girl Code” I think of some randomly numbered meme dictating who you’re allowed to date. Well if there were 1,718 rules more important than this one, maybe it’s not as serious as it sounds. But today I saw a small collection of stories about women helping other women (often strangers) […]
Researchers have long struggled to quantify prejudice, and no method of measurement is perfect, but the housing app Abodo came up with a neat approach. Refraining from the use of slurs is a bare minimum of social decency. So Abodo tracked tweets by their state of origin and established a rate of tweets containing derogatory […]
[Today’s post is co-authored by Acyutananda and Kelsey Hazzard.] The idea that legal abortion is a symptom of and reinforces a patriarchal, misogynistic social system is not new. In our awareness, it goes back at least to the founders of Feminists for Life. However, there has been a flowering just recently of fresh thinking on […]
