Here is a video that my college made for One Billion Rising. To have been a part of it was amazing. More pics and blogs to come on this later! I rose because I want to make 1 billion into ZERO!
And of course she adds some humor! The true sad part? She made this with their own words…showing just how ignorant and fucked up they truly are! Enjoy! http://jessicavalenti.tumblr.com/post/41207551024/in-their-own-words-10-reminders-why-republicans-have
Hi folks! So apparently when I actually have no school and have free time I seem to decide to go through a break-up and not blog. However, when school starts up and the busy-bee comes I decide to blog, so….I’m backkkk! Today was MLK day, in memory of a beautiful person who believed in non-violence … Continue reading
TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT Please take precautions if you decide to watch this video. It is a disturbing and revolting demonstration of the society we have all created in which these kids felt comfortable making a video like this. It is 5 in the morning over here in Jersey. I am surprisingly very awake and after reading … Continue reading
And we’re back here again! Back to slut shaming rhetoric…back to the bullshit! So for those out there, who may not be familiar with Jenna Marbles, she is a YouTube blogger sensation and since I saw her latest video, she is someone who is on my “socially unacceptable” list. Here’s the video for reference: WARNING: … Continue reading
Since becoming part of the WordPress community, I have been fortunate enough to come across amazing blogs, written by amazing people who have enhanced my knowledge and greatly inspired me. However, I have also come across blogs that I strongly disagree with and only anger me yet they still inspire me as they are the … Continue reading
Sorry for my long absence but things have been very chaotic! And now back to business of talking about all types of fucked up shit and how to change it! Alright, I’ll admit some memes are cute and ones with feminist undertones I absolutely love, however, some are just plain rude and dangerous, encouraging what is wrong with society. Why must we critique, … Continue reading
It seems astonishing to me how often we silence the voices of others. How often we say in a polite (or sometimes not so polite) way for people to “tone it down”. To not be so passionate, to not care so much, to not speak up. It has taken so much for me to be able … Continue reading
Seems pretty simple to me! And here comes the “binder full of women” reference: “The 3-hole-punch here is poking holes in women’s rights: desire to repeal Roe v. W, getting rid of Planned Parenthood, and in Paul Ryan’s case, voting against the Fair Pay Act”
Needless to say I am an individual who believes in choices…unless some of you missed my previous blogs and ranting. I also believe in education and I believe that education is essential for any individual to make their own choices. Moreover, I believe that our society, education system, government, communities, churches, families, media, etc should … Continue reading
Sometimes I stay up at night wondering how I go on with my life without the wise words of Rush Limbaugh, I mean such brilliance can’t be found anywhere else. If it comes from a sexist, ignorant and intolerant man, you know it has to be valid! But in all seriousness, this man still surprises me with … Continue reading
Amazed. I think that is the only way I can describe how I feel right now after watching “The New Normal” NBC’s new series. At its core, The New Normal is simply about love, respect and acceptance of everyone…with some witty humor entwined in there which I personally appreciate. At first glance, I thought it … Continue reading
Because once you know someone well enough, they won’t rape…not like rape occurs in marriages or any other relationship. I believe after you know someone for 1 month and 3 days exactly (not one minute before) it is safe! Hey Cosmo, how about instead of telling victims to be more careful, you tell rapists…not to … Continue reading
Throughout my life I have struggled with my weight, my body and the famous struggle of trying to find inner peace with who I am. Let’s face it, there are a lot of awesome people out there and they rarely know it! It took me a while to accept the fact that all I considered … Continue reading
Ain’t that the truth?! It seems quite impossible to deny the fact that the issue of abortion or contraception would be entirely different if men could become pregnant. I really truly believe abortion would not even be an issue in any election if it was not tied to women’s rights. It seems to be … Continue reading
What a week. It has been full of disappointment for me, a huge failure that I see reflected on us all. I am sure all of you have heard of Todd Akin’s remarks: “First of all, from what I understand from doctors pregnancy from rape is really rare, if it’s a legitimate rape, the … Continue reading
Oh Paul Ryan…why? As I heard the news of Paul Ryan having the possibility of becoming the next vice president of the United States, my heart fell and my uterus got scared…very scared. Among other conservative lingo and ideologies it came as no surprise that Paul Ryan was committed to the sex hierarchies already … Continue reading
