Dear Girls, …
… “If you were not powerful, they would not take you so seriously and they take you very, very seriously. You should, too. You can set the world on fire.
It doesn’t feel this way, I know. If that were true, you think, I would not have to sit out baseball games out of respect for religious beliefs that require my subservience and call it a gift. I would not be turned away from serving God with my brothers. I would not be taught that I’m an evil temptress or the virtue keeper of boys. I would not have virginity wielded as a weapon against me and my worth determined by my womb. I would not be spat on and called a whore by men when I am eight because my arms are bare. I would not be poisoned for going to school. I would not be forced, at the age of 9, to carry twins borne of child torture. I would not have to kill myself to avoid marrying my rapist. If this were true, they would pursue my rapists instead of stoning me for their crimes. I, and thousands others, would not be killed for “honor.” …
Barcelona - Basilica De Santa Maria De La Mar
This very old Basilica in Barcelona has some very surprisingly different glass windows. It starts out relatively traditional and then gets more and more modern.
Barcelona - Palau Güell
Built by Antoni Gaudi between 1886 and 1888
I’m back from my vacation and here are the first photos from Barcelona I want to share with you. There will be more but it will take some time to sort through them all.
This picture will provide me with 14,000 laughs today, it will NEVER get old.
A Quantum Theory of Mitt Romney
We have entered the age of quantum politics; and Mitt Romney is the first quantum politician.
"over a 20-year period, asking some 2,000 men in college questions like this: “Have you ever had sexual intercourse with someone, even though they did not want to, because they were too intoxicated [on alcohol or drugs] to resist your sexual advances?”, or “Have you ever had sexual intercourse with an adult when they didn’t want to because you used physical force [twisting their arm, holding them down, etc.] if they didn’t cooperate?”
About 1 in 16 men answered “yes” to these or similar questions.

~ 1 in sixteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen are you kidding me if we got 1 in 16 motherfuckers admitting to raping women on college campuses and are “very forthcoming. In fact, they are eager to talk about their experience”, you better fucking believe tossing out your short skirt and staying in at night isn’t going to keep you safe. (via grrl-meat) Even worse: In a survey of 11-14 year-old boys… …aaand in a survey of college males… …and in another… (via wretchedoftheearth) really? how does this not make me even more scared? fuck (via strugglingtobeheard) reblogging for commentary (via ethiopienne) But rape culture is totally a dumb feminist myth, right?
