So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.

Fuck you. Fuck you. FUCK. YOU. The fact that it’s 2012 and people can get away with saying this shit makes me MURDEROUS but all I can do is sob. People need to be talking about this stuff. You can’t brush it away, pretend it isn’t happening, hope it will slowly disappear. IT WON’T. IT’S TWENTY-FUCKING-TWELVE and this shit is STILL going on. You think the world has a problem with RACISM? Have you ever fucking thought about how WOMEN are treated— the world over— regardless of their fucking race? Why “you run like a girl” is an insult and “you run like a boy” is a compliment? That one. simple. phrase. shows you how fucking deeply sexism is ingrained in the human race. We NEED to be talking about this. You need to know what is happening and you need to be fighting it tooth and fucking nail. You people with influence, fan bases, thousands of followers? Start fucking using your power and help 51% of the WHOLE FUCKING PLANET let these assholes know that THIS IS NOT OKAY and it NEVER fucking has been. Use your voices, dammit, and change the world.

Read this, for starters.

Eight female state senators in Georgia walked out of the Senate chambers on Wednesday to protest two bills that hinder access to abortion and contraceptives. All eight female democratic senators left the chambers together after two bills they oppose passed the Republican-led Senate. From Atlanta’s WXIA, the legislation:

  • Prohibits state employees from using state health benefits to pay for abortions
  • Does not allow employees of private religious institutions to demand that their insurance policies pay for contraceptives

“We stood together to protest what we feel is absolutely a war on women here in Georgia and we want to sound the alert to Georgians,” said Sen. Nan Orrick.

Republican state senator Joshua McKoon said of the legislation, “What I would say is the war that’s being waged is on a religious minority in this country that has strong beliefs that are protected by the First Amendment.”

The bills now heads to the House, where both are expected to pass.

The senators who walked out: Sen. Gloria Butler, Sen. Gale Davenport, Sen. Nan Orrock, Sen. Freddie Powell Sims, Sen. Donzella James, Sen. Miriam Paris, Sen. Valencia Seay and Sen. Horacena Tate. Looks like I’ll be spending my Friday night emailing these senators to thank them for taking a stance on an incredibly important issue.
