Police are evicting a survivor of domestic violence simply because she dared to call out her abuser. Props to the ACLU for taking on the case and working to right this out-of-date and unjust law. We’ll be watching.
Nicely done, Brian Sims! This Pennsylvania state representative, schooled his fellow reps on the importance of respecting women and the constitution in all of their work.

Ohio Lawmakers Work to Prohibit Teaching About “Gateway Sexual Activity”
an amendment to the budget passed by the committee yesterday would prohibit providing or distributing condoms or other contraceptives on school grounds and ban any instruction that promotes “gateway sexual activity.” Teachers or organizations that violate this ban could be subject to lawsuits by parents as well as a $5,000 fine.
Ohio legislators provided a definition of “gateway sexual activity.” And, because teenage sexual behavior is so bad as to be felonious, they took the language straight from the state’s criminal code. So schools cannot promote:
“…any touching of an erogenous zone of another, including without limitation the thigh, genitals, buttock, pubic region, or, if the person is a female, a breast, for the purpose of sexually arousing or gratifying either person.”
Hmm…interesting.
In a recent HuffPost poll, 20% of people surveyed didn’t identify themselves as feminists – but then 80% believe that women and men should be equal.
They sound like feminists to us.
