M.I.A forced to apologize for giving the finger during the Superbowl
Billy Crystal’s blackface at the Oscars is fluffed off as just his regular ol’ comedy bit that he’s being doing for the last 30 years
And of course, no commentary about his “joke” that after he saw The Help he wanted to go hug a black woman… but he had to go 45 minutes outside of Beverly...

I don’t want to be just any kind of journalist.
I want to be the kind who puts gay sub-text in stories about Santorum.

In countries where abortion is illegal, there is a higher number of abortions, a vastly greater chance of women ending up in the hospital due to complications from unsafe abortions and an exponentially increased chance of women dying from unsafe abortions.
In the prestigious British medical journal, The Lancet, a team of researchers (Gilda Sedgh et al.) tracked abortion rates worldwide from 1995...

Cookie baking bitch: More info on our Ladies Comic Book Nights
georgethecat:
The stereotype about comic books is that they are a man’s world. When the average person thinks of comic book stores, they immediately picture geeky men who look like they came right out of the Big Bang Theory.
But women love comics and graphic novels, too! That’s why I, along with the support...

The stereotype about comic books is that they are a man’s world. When the average person thinks of comic book stores, they immediately picture geeky men who look like they came right out of the Big Bang Theory.
But women love comics and graphic novels, too! That’s why I, along with the support of Comic Book Addiction (1022 Brock St. S., Whitby, ON), have organized a monthly Ladies...

I have a problem with Outlaws #6

fuckyeahjasontodd:
wordslike-violence:
Mainly the whole Jason prancing around naked throughout the issue. Well my issue isn’t so much that Jason is naked it’s that all the fangirls/boys threw a fucking fit in the first issue about Starfire. How she’s being objectified even though she flat out said that it was all about “free love” as far as her people were concerned. People...

BREAKING: Virginia Personhood Bill Officially Dead

I’m not American, but I really think that now is the time to start organizing a national protest against the erosion of women’s rights. It wasn’t until after this bill caught national media attention and a silent protest was held that the governor offered an amendment to the bill...

First look: Womanthology
dcwomenkickingass:
The issue of female creators in comics has always been one to create some discussion but I can’t remember a time when the topic seemed to permeate the comics blogs and news sites as it did this past summer. It was within this maelstrom that creator Renae De Liz came up with the idea of creating an anthology made up of female creators. That in itself was not new - there have...

“Stop degrading the act of sex by calling it ‘opening your legs.’

Dear America,
I’ve been watching your politics for many years now, but just wanted to pop in from up north and say Hello! Your politics are so much more interesting than ours!
OK, I’ll admit: sure, it’s fun and games to call the GOP Primary race like a horrible trainwreck that you just can’t tear your eyes away from, but on a more serious note — that Rick...

I have no problem with them objectifying men in comics. NONE.
I regret nothing about this post.
OK SORRY WE JUST HAD TO DO IT
///SPOILERS/// FOR THESE PANELS
Oh..well, this just pretty much taught me how things work. DC can have naked and/or half naked men in their books. That’s fine. In fact, it’s awesome and welcomed with open...

Kevin Smith, I hope you fall off of a cliff and your jorts catch on fire.
Maybe the reason that there aren’t many ladies in comic book shops is because of scumbags like you. MAYBE you should have thought of that, instead of...

How can you NOT love a character like Mia Dearden?
thismomentsforwomenincomics:
Mia had a lot of great moments, but these two really stood out for me.
(Green Arrow #4) She has excellent taste in cartoons. PPG anyone?
(Green Arrow #45) Even after learning she’s HIV positive, this is all that she wants to do. Help.
And this is why you should love Mia f*cking Dearden.
That and she’s pretty funny too.

Something is wrong here.
From ThinkProgress.org: More than twice as many men were asked to comment on the U.S.’s birth control debate.
President Obama’s regulation mandating that health insurance plans offer free birth control is an issue that most directly affects women. And yet, the cable news chatter over this controversy has been driven mostly by men, according to a new ThinkProgress analysis.

#NotBuyingIt on Superbowl Sunday sparkamovement:
70% of Americans watch the Super Bowl (DANG, RIGHT?!) and half of those viewers are women. Yet somehow, the multi bazillion dollar commercials that run during the game target a very small demographic and, as a result, end up loaded with sexism & misogyny. Join us & Miss Representation on Twitter during the game calling out...
