Somebody posted these all around school, and now I know what it feels like to be proud of ones school.

This is the Feminist Response to the Fact that Millions of Boys in America Cannot Read At Grade Level.

This allows young women to believe that the educational system is against them when the reality is that our educational system is so wildly in favor of girls that they are ahead of boys in virtually every single metric.

We’re churning out boys that aren’t simply uneducated, but will be unemployable for the rest of their lives. That doesn’t matter. What matters to Feminists is creating in these boys’ female counterparts is a sense of victimization… That they’re out to get them, and most importantly attaching “sex” to it somehow. In this case having a school dress code is really about evil male sexuality.

Nevermind that this evil teenage boy can’t fucking read. That’s not important. Her having the right to show off her titties in class. That’s important.

No, the education system is fucked. Yeah. We know that. But it’s also fucked that girls can’t show their shoulders and legs while guys can walk around in fucking muscle shirts showing their into torso and baggy shorts/pants showing their entire ass.

Just because there is one problem doesn’t make the other any less, and females don’t receive more education. That’s an education issue. Not a male issue.

And if anything, our educational system discourages girls from excelling at math or science. Girls’ performance in math and science suffers considerably as a result of the influences and expectations of society, because of stereotypes that say boys are naturally better at these subjects. http://www.kon.org/urc/v7/davis.html

Reblogging because there are some sassy little shits out there.

Young women are having difficulty accessing tubal ligation, despite it being a relatively safe (death rate is 1-2 per 100,000) and elective surgery.

Say that at 18 I slap down enough money so I could have my whole body covered head-to-toe in tattoos, piercings all over myself, a mountain of cigarettes, plastic surgery, and plan to have like 20 babies… but if I try at all to safely make it impossible for me to breed for the sake of my health suddenly its like WOAH THERE SLOW DOWN MISSY YOU’RE NOT READY FOR THIS KIND OF COMMITMENT YET

I have stage III Endometriosis, which means I have to get my uterus removed because I literally have terrible cramps ALL THE TIME and not just when I’m on my period. Now, I’ve always said I don’t want any children for personal reasons and I don’t need my uterus, really. I am not worried about that surgery and I don’t feel any kind of nostalgia over an organ I won’t ever use. 

The thing is, my doctor is a ‘man’. This ‘man’ told me I had to get pregnant right now before it’s too late. I told him I didn’t want to get pregnant and explained the multiple reasons but what, do you ask, did my doctor have to say about this? 'Well, better have a kid now because just imagine how depressing it must be being a thirty-something woman without children and a husband?'

I was diagnosed a year ago. I should have gone through surgery six months ago and I still can’t find a doctor that will perform the surgery without trying to force me to have children first. Basically, if you’re a woman you don’t have a say in what can and cannot be done to your body without a shitload of people getting in the way AND I’M FUCKING SICK OF IT.

Women are getting non-consensually sterilized in prison but no doctors in my area while tie my tubes at 24 because I might regret it? Fuck you, doctors. I have more purpose in life than dropping babies. Some of those women in prison are probably great moms and I have no interest in parenting. Let us have a say!

A dear friend of mine wanted to have her tubes tied.  She was about to give birth to twins and the doctors wouldn’t consent because she wasn’t 21 yet.  She had already had children and they still refused to let her have the procedure.

My friend got a vasectomy a week after asking his doctor for one, no problem. He was 25.

Me? I’ve asked 4 different doctors for some kind of permanent sterilisation—tubal ligation or Essure or whatever—and I get a pat on the head and a “You’d regret it if you did.”

Oh, DIDN’T REALIZE YOU HAD A DIRECT LINE TO MY BRAIN.

On the flip side, as a vagina-having person who had her tubes tied at the age of 26 (after having 4 children, however):

MY HUSBAND HAD TO SIGN A CONSENT FORM IN ORDER FOR ME TO HAVE THE PROCEDURE DONE.

How many times have we heard stories about husbands having vasectomies behind their wives backs and never telling them, letting those wives wallow in guilt and misery, thinking it’s their fault that they can’t get pregnant?

And yet I had had to get my husband’s permission to have my tubes tied.

(Obviously this was a decision we’d talked about extensively beforehand, so it’s not like he was about to say no, but we both couldn’t believe the fucking audacity of the hospital, asking HIS permission for ME to do something with MY body.  In fact, he said as much to the nurse that brought in the forms.)

This is fucked up. Your body is no one’s business but your own. Even if there’s no law against young sterilization, women still suffer just from societal expectations, which influence doctors who are unable to be objective. People think they’re being caring but are actually just afraid of anything that goes outside of their preconceived notions of what people should do with their lives.

PLEASE READ;

A little over two months ago, a cat in our neighborhood gave birth to 5 healthy kittens in our garage and we’ve been taking care of them since then. They’re adorable and friendly and so active, but they’ve started climbing out of our garage and sneaking into car motors.

Unfortunately, because of this, one of them was injured last night and he has a fractured pelvis and broken femur. I just got back from the vet, and she said there is a very slim chance he can recover on his own, and he will most likely need surgery. The surgery is estimated to cost upwards of $1000. Just this morning, my family and I spent over $200 on x-rays, vaccines, blood tests, and pain medication.

Assuming he will need the surgery, we can’t afford it and it would mean the world if anyone out there could make a donation to my PayPal (camiisabel@aol.com) or just reblog this to see if anyone else can. If he ends up not needing surgery, I can return it all. I guarantee that anything and everything that gets donated would go towards his medical bills. Please guys, this would mean the world to me and my family. We can’t let this little guy go.
