– The Hair Pin, on Pro-Life protestors outside a Planned Parenthood (via fearofthederpsicle)
Now I want to go to a Planned Parenthood that’s being protested one day and do this even if I don’t actually have a yeast infection.

Here is an excerpt:
Let me remind you:

butterfly-teeth said: So, Jezebel isn’t to be trusted? Sorry, I don’t really read that website much.
Weeellll, the thing with Jezebel is that they seem much more concerned with getting traffic than actually publishing quality pieces. They’re posted shit from rape apologist assholes before, Hugo…
It’s also worth noting that Jezebel is owned by Gawker, the ones who...

10 Famous Films That Surprisingly Fail The Bechdel... →
missclarabow:
For a movie to pass The Bechdel Test, it must contain just one thing - a scene in which two or more named female characters have a conversation (that is, back and forth dialogue) about anything at all besides men.
