I’ve never been much of an internets troll, that is, until this morning. The new feminist blog on the Washington Post, She the People, reports how thousands of women (and some men) have been posting ironic remarks on Gov. Rick Perry’s Facebook page in protest to his cutting funding for Planned Parenthood, his infamous transvaginal ultrasound … Continue reading »

Mother Jones: “Dear Rush Limbaugh: Birth Control Doesn’t Work Like Viagra”
Mother Jones: “Dear Rush Limbaugh: Birth Control Doesn’t Work Like Viagra”
From Mother Jones, By Juliana Jiménez
We hinted at this in a previous post, the embarrassing fact that Rush Limbaugh does not understand how birth control works, and as Rachel Maddow points out, neither does Mitt Romney. What is also particularly painful is the awful irony, the long-standing injustice, that Viagra has long been covered by health insurance, while birth control is not. Yes, lets all have more sex without birth control, because clearly the earth is running out of people.
Rush Limbaugh Apologizes, Too Little, Too Late
It was too late for Rush Limbaugh. Maybe it was the petition we posted here in Femination, maybe it was the brave and awe-inspiring media backlash, Obama’s condemnation, or the six advertisers that pulled out of his program, but Limbaugh, four days after his attack, finally apologized, much to our pleasure.

Later, Democrats held a mock hearing and let Fluke speak about the dangers of denying women contraception. She was a lone female voice almost drowned … Continue reading »
Catholic Contraception Delusion
By Juliana Jiménez The Obama administration announced on Jan. 20 that all FDA-approved forms of contraception must be covered by most insurers without a co-pay, co-insurance or a deductible paid by the patient, starting Aug. 1, 2012. The original ruling provided an exemption for churches, synagogues, and some primary and secondary religious schools. That was not enough for the U.S. … Continue reading »
Seven Billion – NYTimes.com
By Juliana Jiménez Some interesting facts on the condition of women worldwide arise out of this NYT article on whether the Earth can sustain Seven Billion people, a population count we are predicted to hit today: Most of the world’s 800 million illiterate people are women. (Which reinforces a vicious cycle of disenfranchisement, among other things). “Nearly two-thirds of women … Continue reading »
