Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) often blame feminists for men’s problems.
Apparently, women are now the advantaged gender. And it’s our fault that they’re committing suicide at a higher rate than we do.
I’m so, so sorry that some people want to end their lives.

Why Don’t Feminists Have Gender-Neutral Kids?
Some parents believe in gender equality but conclude that boys and girls are just naturally different.
After all, they tried raising their sons and daughters the same way, yet their girls still liked frilly pink dresses and their boys still played with guns.
But do they raise boys and girls the same?

Feminist, Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift speaks to Maxim about her feminism
Once upon a time Taylor Swift denied being a feminist. Because she didn’t know what feminism was.
Back then she told The Daily Beast,
I don’t really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life.

Your Privates Are Public

Why Fight Against Your Interests?
False consciousness: a belief that prevents understanding the true nature of a situation.

Some folks have filed suit because it is soooo horrible that they are being offered a tax subsidy that would make health insurance affordable for them. (Supreme Court decision due this month).
?????!!!!!!!!!
But wait, There’s more:
- I saw a Tea Partier get on a bus to push legislation that would help the billionaire Koch brothers, but hurt his middle-class family. He forlornly said that it had to be done.

Women enjoy sexuality much more in places where women and men have greater equality. Read the rest of this entry
