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

you got questions? i (might) have answers.  
As usual, the self-delusional rhetoric from the pro-lifers serves to obscure the real issue. “Messages like this empower women!” says Sarah Palin in defense of the ad. Empower us to do what? Have babies? Uh, Sarah, we’ve got that covered. Having babies is Job 1 for women under patriarchy. A commercial telling us to have babies is about as empowering as a commercial telling us to take up sewing. Or cooking. Really: the baby thing? We’ve got that down. Nor is this an improvement on the “be a sexbot” message emanating from the rest of the Super Bowl effluvium. “For too long women have been made to feel like sex objects in our ‘modern’ culture,” Palin says, and she’s absolutely right. But being made to feel like baby machines is the same fucking deal. Get it? Super Bowl = Patriarchy | Reclusive Leftist (via smart-tart) (via ihatethismess)
