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.

This is one of my favorite videos. This girl is so intelligent, articulate and down right kick-ass! She explains it all from slut shaming, rape culture, patriarchy, sex negative culture and ties it all up in a “hold on to your seat” little bow. Mind-blowing because I wish to be just like her one day…completely daring and not afraid to speak up.
She discussed what we all see everyday, living in a culture where women are shamed for their sexual activity, their dress, their mere presence and how worst of all it is tolerated and even encouraged! Well what I encourage?….change and total bad-ass behavior that breaks this culture and its horrible consequences it has on our society.
All in all…love her!
