I wish I could accurately judge the fashion on the Golden Girls.

Okay. I’m maybe two-thirds done with part two of my series on rape culture in the US military.

I’m hoping to get it finished tomorrow. Maybe Friday. But hopefully Thursday.

[TW Rape/Abortion]

I once had a guy tell me that women shouldn’t even be allowed to get abortions in cases of rape because “if she didn’t want to get pregnant she should have told the guy to use a condom.”

If you doubted the necessity of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, you won’t after reading any of the related fact sheets on the National Women’s Law Center’s website. 

“Heather Wiseman was a Wal-Mart sales floor associate. When she became pregnant, she began to suffer from urinary and bladder infections and started carrying a water bottle at work on her doctor’s advice to ensure she stayed hydrated. Because of a rule that only cashiers could have water bottles at work, she was terminated.”
