Man Finally Put In Charge Of Struggling Feminist Movement

WASHINGTON—"All the feminist movement needed to do was hire someone who had the balls to do something about this glass ceiling business," said Peter "Buck" McGowan.

Glorious. The Onion does it again:

All the feminist movement needed to do was bring on someone who had the balls to do something about this glass ceiling business," said McGowan, who quickly closed the 23.5 percent gender wage gap by "making a few calls to the big boys upstairs.

Contrary to popular belief, buying your own condoms ahead of time does not, in fact, prevent you from having copious amounts of sex that night.

Prevention First!

Aborting Text Messages

Most of you know what I do for a living... right? I mean, I certainly hope so. If not, well... ask someone. Because the rest of the post might be confusing if you don't know.

So, yesterday was sort of a big deal at work, given the fab NYTimes article and subsequent fallout. It was so DEAD! And I was running around like a chicken with its head cut-off... which, oddly enough, was also highly enjoyable. And the blogs! The blogs were outstanding...

DW brought my attention to this post in Jezebel (a top 10 fav blog), and I really think the title says it all, "Ever Sent A Text Message You Wish You Could Abort."

So there's been some big hoo-hah about the abortion rights crowd sending out mass text messages to supporters because our tender eyes are too impressionable not to go out and get an abortion every time we're reminded it's still legal. Which made us think: how many ill-advised text messages have you sent only to wake up pining for the text message equivalent to Plan B?

Hysterical. And yeah, that's happened to me a couple thousand times. My cell phone bill speaks for itself.

It also reminded me of how much I hated my Razr because if I ever started to text someone, and changed my mind mid-text, I couldn't just exit. Oh no! I had to confirm that I wanted to "abort" my message - grody, right?

It's funny how my life has now come full circle...

Plug! Plan B OTC anniversary blogging

As you (hopefully) know, last year, on August 24th, the Food and Drug Administration approved emergency contraception (aka Plan B) for over-the-counter sales to adults. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me know... I could blog on it later this week, as it's an issue that is near and dear to my heart.

Anyway, shameless plug: Please be sure to visit the BushvChoice blog this week for some great guest-bloggers who will discuss the significance of birth control to them, the difference this new policy has made for women across the country, and what still needs to happen to make sure women have equal access to Plan B®.
