Stfu Hypocrites: You don't actually think a fetus is a human being, and I'll prove it with your own emotions.

like-an-echo:

When you hear that a woman gets an abortion, you go nuts about the fetus having rights. You feel sorry for the poor baby. You feel angry because the baby was done injustice. It’s about the baby.

Taking the…

I will preface this by saying that I am pro-choice, but this argument is woefully inaccurate. Who said that ALL pro-lifers only pity pregnant women who miscarry? Where are the stats on that? I’m more than certain that at least some, if not most pro-lifers consider the miscarriage to be the equivalent of an infantile death. Some people who miscarry even choose to hold a traditional funeral and bury the fetus, so clearly there are at least SOME people who equate a miscarriage with a lost life.

Once you make a blanket statement like “all (blank) do (blank)”, your argument is headed in the wrong direction. I don’t mean to be preachy, and I am pro-choice, but this is just a terrible argument that attempts to tell pro-lifers “how they really feel”.

“The really frustrating thing about the “Save the boobies” campaign and similar ones is that it gets it exactly backward. Often, the point of breast cancer treatment is to destroy some or all of the boobies in order to save the woman.

Saying that we should work to cure this disease because it threatens breasts is really upsetting. For starters, it suggests that women are worth saving because they’re attached to breasts, rather than the other way around. But worse, it tells any woman who’s had a life-saving mastectomy that she’s given up the thing that made people care about her survival. What a punch in the stomach.”

The whole “sexualization of cancer” thing that goes along with breast cancer awareness really makes me angry.  Hey, it’s a disease the affects women, let’s make it all pink and sexy-fun-times!

Eric D. Angell is a creep.

irishthanhy:

Because it needs to be put out there as much as possible. The story and video are here.  Maybe you just think he seduced her (which is what he apparently thinks/thought) and maybe you think she eventually consented which makes it okay.  But it’s not.

5 Feminist Demands She Wants You to Ignore | Fox News Health

Living in the 21st century means you will encounter more than a few “independent ladies” while you’re out on the prowl.

We’re not talking about the stereotypical feminists here. The modern feminist can simply be a working woman who pays her own bills and doesn’t need a man in her life to be happy.

Enter you, the lucky guy who is thrilled at the prospect of a non-clingy girlfriend. Not so fast. While the notion of the sexy feminist isn’t completely false, you need to be aware of those pesky feminist demands that even the most independent of women is expecting you to ignore. Why don’t women just tell you what they want, you ask? Silly rabbit, then they wouldn’t be women!

Read more to find out the feminist demands you should ignore, from “modern feminist women.” Yep. Also for gems like “no matter how independent women get, there will always be that part of them that wants to be treated like an old-fashioned lady, whether that means letting her take the backseat in some decision-making or complimenting her on the hot new dress she bought. Sound contradictory to you? Well, that’s because it is. Women are a complete contradiction in terms and that’s one thing they’re likely never to evolve out of — like men and leaving the toilet seat up. We all have our crosses to bear.”

Reading this actually made me feel physically ill.

4. “I can think for myself!”

Chances are your woman isn’t a meek Stepford-wife type, leaving every important quandary at your feet to solve. Modern women think for themselves — but you already knew that. While your girlfriend wants you to value her opinions, there are times when she just wants you to take the reins. Even the highest-powered executive wants to come home to a man who already thought ahead for their dinner plans without any needed input from her. Indecisiveness, like a comb-over, is never attractive.

so this just triggered my upchuck reflex.

Man denied Medicaid coverage for breast cancer because he’s a man

progressivelyminded:

iheartchaos:

At 26 years old, Charleston, SC native Raymond Johnson was diagnosed with cancer. He’s working, but he has no insurance. So he and his doctor applied for Medicaid to cover the costs of his treatment, but he was denied. Denied because he has breast cancer and Medicaid only covers breast cancer treatment for women.
