So despicable that this is accurate.

Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately gathered national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly, “If only I had teeth down there.”
Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper.
Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed.
When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers replied tersely, “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”

A medieval device for a medieval deed - yes.
Anyone ever think that maybe we should provide this to female members of our military? Since the sexual assualt prevention method doesn’t seem to be working. Good luck dismissing cases when there’s irrefutable proof.
Also, please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this is a brilliant idea.
FDA Approves New IUD!
“The IUD, called Skyla, is aimed at younger women who have not had children. During a trial of 1,432 women aged 18 to 35 years, the rate of pregnancy over a three-year period was 0.9 per 100 women, and 77 percent of women wishing to become pregnant did so within 12 months of its removal, Bayer documents said.”
So glad to know they have finally made an IUD specifically designed for women who have not had children. It always bugged the hell out of me that my doctor tried to talk me out of one because I hadn’t had children yet, even though an IUD is usually the most cost effective and has the lowest maintenance.
AB 1266 would prohibit discrimination against transgender students in every public school district. The bill would “require that a pupil be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities including athletic teams and competitions.” The bill also requires public schools to allow facilities, such as bathrooms and locker rooms, to be used “consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.
California assembly passes transgender equality bills.
About freaking time! I don’t understand how we can see how bad racism is, but be totally blind to sexist segregation. It’s the same kind of mentality, just in regards to gender, not skin color. It’s really not that complicated people.
The Women & Comedy Project
On my way to watch the women & comedy project in Philadelphia on behalf of the local organization Women’s Way!
She nails it.
This is my largest issue with the military, and why I have such a hard time being so ‘gung-ho’ about the institution. I have no doubt that there are many honorable men and women who have protected our freedoms and fought for our rights, but there are far too many individuals who join the services and abuse that power it brings in horrific ways. 19,000 victims, 19,000, and only 240 go to trial. I want to punch that Lieutenant in the face, for his inability to acknowledge that the convening authority is failing the women of our country. There obviously was NO integrity.
One of the BEST ad campaigns about representation I have seen.
Everyone has a backbone. Use yours.
In case you forgot. Read a f*cking dictionary.
