let's talk equality

this is about equality. it's about gender. it's about race. it's about class. it's about the environment. it's about oppression, respect, revolution, and freedom. it's about strength, independence, free speech, and refusing to accept the status quo. oh, and, you know, some of it is just shit i like. email me at letstalkequality@gmail.com

i don't care how cliche it is...bob dylan's "hurricane" gets me every time.

“ Within the gay community so many leaders want acceptance from polite society. I think there’s been a betrayal of what is down inside of us in order to achieve what looks popular, what look enviable. The movement seems to be centered around how to become an elite. There is a deep schism [in the gay-rights movement], everyone knows this. But this shouldn’t be about which group has better branding. There is a tremor right now in every gay and transgender youth that these groups are not grasping. I would say to them—you do not represent us if all you are looking for is a ladder in to elite society.

“ The question of “was it rape?” does not depend on an alleged victim’s actions two days, 12 hours, 10 minutes, or even 20 seconds before the alleged assault. What matters is whether or not consent was present at the moment the assault allegedly occurred, and whether or not the alleged perpetrator acted without regard for the absence of consent. If there was no consent from one party and the other party acted, it was rape. The end. And yes, contrary to what the politics of rape trials will tell you, it really is just that simple.

It’s been a damn long time since I’ve been on tumblr.  However, I have a good excuse.  I’ve been damn busy with school work and securing my future.  For those who are interested, I’ve been accepted to an internship at my local women’s shelter next semester and I will receive credit hours for it!  Also, (and this is a big fucking deal) I’ve been accepted to the Washington Center’s Advocacy, Service, and Arts internship program for this summer (I will also receive credit hours there!).  This means I’ll be in Washington D.C. within two months (hopefully) working for a women’s issues advocacy group.  I don’t know which site I will be placed at yet but they pretty much guarantee it will be something that I find interesting and rewarding.  You have no idea how excited I am.  Ultimately, I will be graduating a semester earlier than planned, have some totally awesome shit to put on my resume and some damn good experiences.

I’ve also been heavily involved in my local Sierra Club lately.  Though the Sierra Club has a reputation for being mostly upper class old white folks, we are working on changing that.  A dear friend of mine spearheaded the organization of a campus coalition (with just a bit of my help and i give her major props).  Since then we have helped to create the Central Arkansas Young Sierrans group that is really trying to reach out to people under 45 years of age and minorities.  I must say, I’m quite enjoying it and I’ve met some damn cool people along the way. 

On another note, I’m considering creating a feminist RSO (registered student organization) on my campus.  I have a friend who formed one on another local campus and had great success.  However, I’m not really sure how active they were in the community.  I would like to form a group that creates change and will do more than share a common interest.  When spring break is over I plan on talking to some more of the fems I know on campus and getting an idea of what they would like to do. 

So far it’s been a great semester.  Sorry I’ve neglected you so much, tumblr friends.

Rabble: What The US Health Care Reform Bill Means For Women

First off, we need to talk about the Hyde Amendment:

Basically, after Roe v. Wade was ruled on by the Supreme Court, abortions were covered by Medicaid until Henry Hyde (a senator) proposed an amendment to restrict public funding for abortions in the United States. This amendment is voted on…
