ENOUGHWomen are not faking rape and they dont have magical powers to deactivate rape sperm. We are not pregnant before we are pregnant, we cant have an abortion if we are not pregnant, and I think we can all agree, women shouldnt be forced to carry stillborn babies. Abortions dont cause mental instability and the HPV vaccine doesnt make girls mentally retarded. No womans boss should be able to demand information from her to decide if her reason for wanting birth control is moral enough to grant permission.
These are all actual laws coming from statehouses all across America, and we are sick of it. Lady Parts Justice is doing something about it. We are calling it V to Shining V. Dont even say its not awesome. Its about time that women took a page from the LGBTQ community and created an annual rocking party with comedians, bands, righteous speakers, and funny videos that celebrate the awesomeness of women while proclaiming it is time to stop fucking with us.
We need you to get your friends together to cause some trouble on the ground in what we are calling Lady Parts Justice Leagues. You are funny and smart so why not get together with your other funny smart and pissed off friends, have some wine and come up with some clever ideas of your own to throw a bum or two out.

#6 is stupid, if perhaps forgiveable. #5 is just pathetic reactionary whining.

I wouldn't have alerted on your post myself. Rolling my eyes seems more appropriate.

I don't think you're a sexist, particularly. I tend to doubt it in fact.

But everyone on the thread (except, seemingly, yourself) takes the underlying issue very seriously.
