SERIOUSLY GUYS. MY HEAD CAN’T TAKE IT.
It makes my eyes hurt. It needs to stop.
agh. I refuse to see 3D movies. I get all dizzy, and it’s kinda hard to enjoy a movie when you feel like you’re gonna barf.
This always makes me crazy:

At some weddings when the couple is pronounced not husband and wife, but man and wife. Because he is still a man, but she is now a wife, not a woman?
I don’t understand this.
^ She makes a good point.
ARGH yes this annoys me too. Imagine if we said woman and husband, shit would get real.

fuckyeahfeminists:
This is from May, but consider Santorum’s recent bullshit comments about women not being able to ‘handle’ combat just as well this is relevant. Thanks to the reader who suggested I post this!

I’ve gone into this before, but apparently people still don’t get it, so here we go again.
So many anti-choicers talk about pregnancy as if it’s some walk in the park. They are, in a word, wrong. Completely wrong. So completely wrong that I’m actually, honestly shocked I need to explain this to them.
