The House GOP's Plan to Redefine Rape | Mother... →
happilyevernow:
Drugged, raped, and pregnant? Too bad. Republicans are pushing to limit rape and incest cases eligible for government abortion funding.
Rape is only really rape if it involves force. So says the new House Republican majority as it now moves to change abortion law.
For years, federal laws restricting the use of government funds to pay for abortions have included exemptions for...

“With this legislation, which was introduced last week by Rep. Chris Smith...”
– “House Republicans are Already Redefining Rape,” via Gawker Media. This is rather convenient for pro-lifers, since nearly every instance of rape I have ever been made aware of involved a youth minister, a coach, a teacher, an old family friend, an athlete or an acquaintance drugging someone. (via...

Also doors. All the doors must be shut before I can go to sleep, or I won’t fall asleep. This includes cabinet doors, closet doors, bedroom doors, etc.

“there are worse things to get angry at on the internet and a lot better things...”
– I’m afraid you missed the point.
The point is this attitude is all too prevalent. I get angry about this in real life, too. I can’t not call it out, ever, wherever I am. I can’t let this attitude go. It needs to be addressed. It needs to not be okay. It needs to be reacted to and...

Are you telling me that what happened to me was a PRIVILEGE? That it was an honor to be groped by a man, taken advantage of, SCARRED for life? Well fuck you very much.

I slid down an icy flight of stairs last night & landed on my back. Spent today in bed babying it so it’ll get better, cause I don’t have health insurance or the money to go to the doctor if it doesn’t. Missed work at both places to take care of myself, which means I lost about $90 take-home from one job and I don’t know how much from the other. I hate that taking a day...

ESL Laxative: Explained.
So I had this really awkward dream last night about an English as a Second Language (ESL) learning aid, and it was a laxative. Basically, the better you got at English, the less the laxative would affect you. If you were awful, you’d shit your pants; if you were good, you’d just shit a little more than “average” (is there an average amount shat per day? I have no idea....

“Rape is only really rape if it involves force. So says the new House Republican...”
– And, yes, this is going on.
Let’s outline, one more time, the reasons why requiring “force” as a part of legally defined rape is a bad idea, hey? Because there are many. And let’s skip right past the part where many rapes would no longer be defined as such (I’m…really not sure how you redefine...

Dinner with Ross tonight… Awkward, but not terrible. He broke up with his gf. Spent too much time trying to get me to go home with him.

You are:
slightly expressed extravert
moderately expressed sensing personality
distinctively expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed perceiving personality
Not sure if I entirely agree with this.

So, Gaga’s straight fans feel alienated because “Born This Way” seems to be more about her gay fans than her straight ones. Meanwhile, gays all around the world feel alienated because straight people ostracize them and tell them they’re wrong for being who they are.
