What up, Maine!  Five states have legalized same-sex marriage.  That’s 10%!  There’s still a lot of ground to go, but I’m growing confident in the momentum!!

Male ‘contraceptive jab’ closer

I know The Pill empowered women, but hormonal contraceptives for men could give monogamous low-risk couples more options.  And I’m all about giving people choices that are safe and effective.  I hope it could reduce the whole “women are the gatekeepers” mentality.

 

I Hate the Media

For her an uproar, for him a whisper

The media loves pretty white chicks, and doesn’t care (at best, at worst hates) about anyone else.  Being a rich ass white chick is also helpful.

This gets me just as riled as I get when I hear about the Caley Anthony story.

I’m not trying to downplay the tragedy of the white chick’s death.  I’m just completely disgusted that some lives are give so much more value than others.  A fact that I know, but when the media reiterates this point so blatantly I just want to punch bitches.
