Before Rep. Jackie Speier took the House floor late on Thursday night, New Jersey Republican Chris Smith used his time to graphically describe the process of an abortion. That’s when the California Democrat decided to scrap her planned remarks.

Fitness

I was just chatting someone who has been following me and she asked me some questions about weight lifting and so on.
Monday to Friday, I think fitness is fucking sexist. We have spent gobs of money trying to sort out the ratios of fat, carbs and carbohydrates. We study the body and physiology and what is needed to complete tasks and do exercise correctly.
But the industry, and...

Buried in this Robert Fisk report for The Independent is a startling account of the Egyptian army refusing to move with tanks against the Tahrir Square protesters on January 30. If this is true, it must be the defining moment in the history of the movement that toppled Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year reign. My emphasis below:

A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on...

For me, one of the great things about becoming a feminist was learning to love my body regardless of how the fact that the media was constantly telling me I shouldn’t. As a result of loving my body, I suddenly enjoyed sex so much more as I wasn’t ashamed to be naked around others. From that I…

I find this kind of problematic. I don’t like conflating self care with “virtues” like being kind or patient. Personally self care is extremely important to both my mental and physical health. I don’t see it as virtuous or a privilege it’s survival. It also supports an idea that there is one…
