Dead Wild Roses: Rape – Victim Blaming 101
Let us establish something right here, right now and forever. Whenever a women says in public they’ve been raped they are taking a huge chance. The patriarchal fuckwittery that surrounds women speaking up against those that have violated them is sickening. It is not her fault for what happened

Other than libertarian or misogynistic concerns, both that are as useless as pants on on giraffe, I don’t see what the problem is. Women win, their partners win and society wins. Filed under: Education, Feminism Tagged: Common Sense, Contraception, Feminism, PSA, US

The manosphere welcomes you and your sparkling brethren. The red pen of justice is vibrating in anticipation of this particular post. Admittedly, when going into the “Manosphere” it makes it shamefully easy to brandish the RPJ. I again make mention of the insipid nature of the WordPress reader function because

By now most people (the US being the notable exception) get that religion is a toxic entity that has no place in the 21st century. The insipid nature of religion is usually highlighted in the DWR Sunday Disservice, however today will be different. Today we get to share one persons

This is a snippet from the Raw Story. Go there and read the full article about how the republican party of the US want to happily join impoverished nations in destroying female autonomy. The fetus-fetish crew never seem to key on the fact that women are alive and are actually

If it happens down south, you know who is next in line. Support this video, reblog it, post it everywhere. The rights of women are threatened, take action and don’t let the bad guys (aka republicans) win.

Or anyone who claims to be rational. I’m not sure how the religious do the whole indoctrination thing with a straight face. Can you imagine? Child: How were we made? Parent: Well you see this magic ooga-booga decided to scrape some mud together and breath life into it about

This comment jumped out at me from a thread I was perusing at Captain Awkward.com. I commiserate with the author to a certain extent, as the post as it describes so much of the frustration I have to put up with attempting to educate people about basic facts of our

We still have far to go as civilization, when half the population is subject to shite like this. Filed under: Education, Feminism Tagged: Equality, Feminism, Privileged White Dudes, Rape Culture, Street Harassment

Amazing comment and I stole it to share with you, my loyal readers.. It is long, but necessary. “Not surprisingly, I have a story? It’s pretty long, and I’m sorry. My husband, Doctor Glass, recently went on a weeklong workshop. The participants worked on teams, slept in a dormitory,

Sadfaced millionaires and sadfaced billionaires are fighting it out right now about how to divide the outrageous plunder made in the National Hockey League. Boo-Frickety-Hoo! The players in the NHL are overpaid. Chasing a rubber disk around a rink should not be multi-millionaire territory. I’m thinking important occupations that improve

Maybe we should update our preferred torture methods, hanging perhaps? Our society is progressing ever so slowly (and will continue to do so if we don’t let the corporations win, restore the 25% tax rate please). I often look to the politics and citizenry of Quebec for cues on progressive

You would think that after your Dad has been thoroughly trashed by making bogus claims you would, oh…I dunno… learn from his mistakes and not repeat them? Frak the facts, (creationist SOP btw) lets get the good word out there accuracy be damned. Filed under: Atheism Tagged: Christianity, Creationist Fail,

Christian ‘morals’ plus the abortion issue and dudes, you know where we are headed…. I’m not sure if I like the “reader” function that wordpress offers as a part of its blogging platform. Searching the Abortion tag seems to consistently raise my blood pressure because of beastly shite that I

Sometimes we forget that despite all the bullshit, all the division, all the scorn, human beings can come together and create beautiful acts that fly in the face of all the shite we put up with in our regular day to day existence. I recently had the great privilege of

Oh? Upgrades at DWR? Morning Folks, I’ve been mulling over how to format the comments on the blog and have recently decided to try the unnested comment format, so when you reply to a comment, you will have to quote who you are talking to or simply use a @username
