Paging McRantypants, your table is ready.

I'm getting really tired of men. Like seriously tired of mansplaining and why doesn't anyone care about the man's feelings. Dude, STFU.

On a post on the Huffington Post, I've been mansplained to all freaking weekend about how women need to get a sense of humor and that it's juvenile teasing to tell another man to go buy a bra and get a manicure (hey, Kings of Leon? I'm not going to buy your music ever again, fyi). It's just harmless fun to use female-centric insults for teasing. Besides, the guy telling me this is a feminist male so he would know what feminism is!

Then there's THIS. Hey, you men, STFU. You do not get to decide when a woman has been raped. You don't. A WOMAN gets to decide if she's been raped. A woman gets to decide what to do with her body.

Personally, I'm anti-abortion. Politically, however, I'm pro-choice because I do not have the ability to tell someone else what to do with their body. It is their decision. I'm really really sick of hypocritical Evangelicals trying to legislate other people's morality all while preaching that they hate big government. What the fuck do you think this is?! What do you think telling someone who they can and cannot marry is? And you're pissed that the US government wants to expand social programs already in place? Oh fuck you.

The other part that pisses me off about this is the hypocriticalness of the anti-abortion position. From the article:

A 1994/95 survey of nearly 10,000 abortion patients showed 18% of women having abortions are born-again or Evangelical Christians. Many of these women are likely anti-choice. The survey also showed that Catholic women have an abortion rate 29% higher than Protestant women. A Planned Parenthood handbook on abortion notes that nearly half of all abortions are for women who describe themselves as born-again Christian, Evangelical Christian, or Catholic.

So, gee, it's good for you but it's not good enough for those slutty, awful, other women?

My problem isn't with these women having abortions. They can. It's with the fact that some of them go right back out onto the picket lines and try their slut shaming. How do they live with themselves?

Don't like abortion? Invent an artificial womb. Until then, deal with the fact that each woman has free choice of what to do with her body and she has to live with the ramifications of her decision.

There are times when I want to rip certain men's penises right off so that they can never ever use them. This is one of those times.

Random, but in connection with your comment about men making anti-woman jokes ... In university they always have a dodgeball tournament for the first years in residence. The first year I was a residence don, two of the boys on my floor ordered their shirts so that their names were "Rohy" and "Pnol". I nearly murdered them I was so angry. :|

Exactly. Especially since a lot of these people in the anti-choice movement are speaking from a very personal, very religious point of view. I have a major issue with the way the US treats "separation of church and state". Which is to say, not at all. *sigh*

HA. Baldness. I can't believe money goes into CURING BALDNESS wtf. It's just goddamn HAIR.

Those holier than thou folk can all go shove it up their asses. If I were a woman who'd had an abortion, I'd just tell them that I was taking preventative measures to ensure that the child didn't have to suffer through the pain of living in a world with bigots like them.

Even worse than ripping their collective dicks off, I want them to have to be women for a week. Just a week, to see how it is.

Those two dudes would've been booted off any team I was in charge of, let me tell you. They also would've been forced to go to a rape counsel center to see what it's like. JESUS GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH PPL?!

That's what gets me. There's so much research into male pattern baldness but whenever anyone wants to fund stuff that would benefit women, well, then. Forget that shit.

I'm really really tired of the holier than thou ppl. If one more person does that "tweet if you agree that the abortion holocaust is worse than the Holocaust" I will fucking go off. Stop with the Godwin's on the abortion issues. Just stop.

I get that you weep for the babies that are dying but how about doing something about it that doesn't punish the woman? How about working towards making an artificial womb? How about making it so that men carry the kids when women don't want to and/or can't? How about educating women, especially, on alternative forms of birth control? How about working on creating a world where rape doesn't happen?

But oh, no. It's easier to just say those slutty awful murdering whores and leave the world as is.

I kind of wish ALL MEN had to live as women for a week.

RIGHT? And the worst part was the the girls on my floor found it funny. *weeps*

Yeah, no kidding. Who cares about cervical cancer or ovarian cysts? Pfft. Baldness affects their self esteem.

Okay 1) I wish people would stop with the Godwin's in general and 2) do they even understand the purpose behind the extermination of all those people during the Holocaust? IGNORANT PPL IHU.

The problem is that the more they label rape victims are sluts, the more acceptable rape becomes.
"She was wearing a skirt. She was asking for it."
"She was wearing tight jeans. He couldn't have gotten those off without her help."
"There was no tearing, so she must've been aroused."
"She shouldn't have been walking alone in the dark if she didn't want to be raped."

Message being sent to men: Rape is just a word women throw around to get you in trouble because the don't want a bad reputation. All women want you to have sex with them, even the ones saying "no".
