First World Feminism

What's the point of this website?

A fair question. Two quick answers:

1. Those of us lucky enough to live in the most progressive parts of the world tend to focus on how good we have it, and yet we still haven’t achieved true gender equality.

2. I’m over trying to pitch women’s magazines. If the story isn’t about slimmer thighs for summer, they’re just not interested.

This stuff is important, I’ll try not to make it too dry.

@Uncucumbered: Why don’t we just call HEALTH CARE REFORM a WAR ON SICKNESS and the GOP will leap to fund it. #HCR

@AllyssaMilan: Do PPL in #prolife movement consider the fact that a fetus is attached to a woman’s body, therefore it IS part of it? #prochoice

@insaneartgurl: #Prolife guide to childcare Step 1 Force kids on women who don’t want/can’t afford them Step 2 Who cares after that?

@ProChoiceGal: Being #AntiChoice and claiming that you love women would be like my boyfriend saying “I love you”, and then raping me. #proChoice #ProLife

@TheUndomestic: 1/3 of women in the US have had an abortion. You probably know one. #hcr

@jarrahpenguin: Sometimes has to remind herself not to be disappointed that actual US politics are not always similar to episodes of the West Wing.
