For more mythbusting regarding the many smears about Andrea Dworkin, I recommend the Andrea Dworkin Lie Detector.

6 feminists took over a misogynist Facebook page from the inside
Bra Busters was a popular Facebook destination for racy photos of women. Now it’s devoted to feminism.

The feminism you see, the ‘vocal’ feminists, are nowadays more concerned with female superiority than equality. It’s a real shame.

By my numbers having five thousand years of matriarchy would be equality! Let’s go!

Hey Radfems, the people you’re bitching about who make jokes about Angelina’s boobs are ASSHOLES. Stop holding that up as a SIGN OF DA PATRIARCHY! LOOK! Yes, we know they’re all fucking assholes. They’re the douchebags of the world. You’re not proving anything.

Radical feminism did not come from tumblr and it does not exist only on tumblr. Radical feminism predates the internet by at least twenty years.

That said, activism and discussion are not inherently less effective than “real life” activism and discounting something because it’s “on the internet” and therefore not real is about as hip as a leisure suit.

After all, it’s not particularly unreasonable that a woman might feel “envious” of men’s position in this world. It makes perfect sense to feel as though we’ve gotten the shaft (pun!), as women, as far as cultural and social prioritization of female sexuality goes. But is the answer to take what men have in the sex industry, break off a corner piece, and try to mold it into something marginally less male-centric? Is the answer to exploitation to provide “equal” opportunity exploitation? Is our goal, as feminists, to be more like men and to merely adapt to a male-dominated world as best we can? Are we so unwilling to imagine something different than simply “more porn!”?

The argument that feminists are trying to “save women from themselves” is a dangerous one that can easily be applied to, for example, feminist activism around domestic abuse (what if she wants to stay with her abusive husband?) and extended into an overzealous defense of individual women’s ‘choice’ to objectify themselves. We want so desperately not to be victims that we try to turn oppression into empowerment.

Out Actor Kirsten Vangsness Willing to Leave 'Criminal Minds' Over Sexist Salary

cubitum-eamus:

Kirsten Vangsness, the wildly popular out actor who plays Penelope Garcia on CBS’ Criminal Minds, may not be back for a ninth season of the crime drama, reports Deadline. The studio reportedly issued final offers to the show’s four lead stars, but female actors Vangsness and A.J. Cook say they’re unwilling to accept a salary that’s reportedly less than half that of their male costars. 

Kristen Vangsness and A.J. Cook are consistently some of the best parts of the show.  Bring attention to Criminal Minds Sexist pay practices and don’t let them get away with this shit.  

The executives on this show have a history of absolutely fucking over the female cast members. It’s disgusting.

NRA Vendor Sells Ex-Girlfriend Target That Bleeds When You Shoot It

As an added bonus, the dummy target’s shirt is ripped, exposing the bra and implying sexual assault.

Way to go, NRA.
