Another Girl Another Planet

I have so much to do and yet I keep finding myself looking up Christmas stuff. It's kind of ridiculous, but I'm super excited for the holidays this year. My mom is going to be here and I just can't wait.



I'm off to write a research paper, but I wanted to check in. Hopefully I will have something interesting to blog about in the near future.

Now here is some sexism against Sarah Palin

I want to know why Glenn Beck's comments haven't received even a fifth of the attention that Newsweek did.

"First of all, let me rule that out. Palin/Beck? Ridiculous…I was just thinking, what I’m gonna take backseat to a chick? While you’re at it, go shoot a bear! Make some stew! I’m hungry in here."

Conservatives like to claim that the left is unable to see any of the treatment towards Sarah Palin as sexist (which is obviously false), but I don't hear anyone on the right commenting on Beck's comments. (And why hasn't Palin responded?)

This isn't even thinly veiled sexism or up for debate sexism (like the Newsweek cover). This is like super super obvious sexism.

And this crazy heathen liberal is not afraid to say so.

Advocacy Group Decries PETA's Inhumane Treatment Of Women

I found this at feministing so I'm sure some people have already seen it, but I thought it was too freggin funny not to repost.



"We have no intention of changing our tactics until every last animal on the planet is given more respect than women." Rings kind of true doesn't it?

Stop Stupack

Dear Friend,

We must act now to stop the Stupak/Pitts Amendment.

This amendment goes further than any previous federal law to restrict access to abortion - and it's up to us to ensure it is removed before the legislation is enacted into law. It would prohibit millions of women from getting coverage for abortion in their health insurance plans, even if they pay for it themselves!

We know our candidates in the House and Senate will fight tooth and nail to prevent this new restriction on women's rights from becoming law. They are the firewall against any new restrictions on a woman's right to choose, but they need our voices to join with theirs if we are going to win this battle. We must act now to tell Congress that we will not accept a new restriction on our rights.

I have already added my name to this call to action. Will you join me to send a clear message: We will not stand for health care reform that makes women less healthy and less safe.

Sign the petition.

The message is from the Stop Stupak Coalition and I urge anyone who hasn’t signed the petition to do so now. Today is the National Day of Action against the Stupak-Pitts Amendment and you can find more information here.

Can't we all just get along?

The answer is yes. Yes we can.
