Pro-Choice Parody of Forget You

Chorus:
See you tryin’ to take the rights
From the sisters I love
And I’m like, forget you
I guess the rape redefinition
Wasn’t enough
And I’m like, forget you
And your dumb laws too
Said if I was richer
I could bribe ‘ya
Huh! Ain’t that some shhhh!
And now there’s pain in my womb
From this impending doom
I’m like, forget you

Verse 1:
I’m sorry
I was born with ovaries
But that don’t mean
I can’t make a choice
Guess they’re all rich men
And we’re all paltry
Gotta let ‘em know
We have a voice

I pity the fool
Who wants to vote for you
(You’re a gold digger)
Well
(Just thought you should know)
Ooooohooooo
I got some news for you
We’re not gonna take this BS no more

Chorus

Verse 2:
I know
You had to borrow
From China for the economy
While spending trillions
On the wars
Killing other people’s babies.

I pity the fool
Who wants to vote for you
(You’re a gold digger)
Well…
(Just thought you should know)
Oooohooooo
I got some news for you
Oohhh I really hate your ass right now

Chorus

Bridge:
Now crazy, crazy, rich men
Why you wanna wanna hurt us so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
Don’t force us to be mamas
Cuz you never force the boys
To be dads
(the dads, the dads, the dads)

And I was like,
Uh! Why? Uh! Why? Uh Why??? Rich man
I hate you! I still hate you! Ohhhhh

Chorus.

Still awesome to see this pop up on my dashboard every once in a while. I love that people love my song.

THIS SONG IS AMAZING. Seriously, the lyrics are awesome, and also her voice is just incredible.

This is fucking great and kudos to the singer.

How haven’t i heard this before? This is AMAZING!

I recently sat in on a lecture given by a woman who works with the Republican Party and unabashedly labels herself a feminist. For her, feminism is simple; equal pay, equal opportunity for equal work.
We all have our own idea of what feminism means to us. Hers is simple and effective, but is it enough?
I personally think feminism is a lot more than that. As stated in my column, Feminism to me is about political, economic, and social rights, equal opportunities, bodily integrity, workplace rights, autonomy and reproductive rights.

I asked another blogger (stfufauxminists- check her out!) about the subject. It was the question, “Can conservative women be feminists?” She summed up her sentiments very well by stating the following:

•  “If conservative women were feminists, they wouldn’t be conservative. If a woman who is conservative calls herself a feminist, I have to wonder why she still identifies with conservatism and how she manages to balance two identities that are absolutely at complete odds with one another. […] You cannot be for the liberation of women while simultaneously being for their subjugation.” (For full version click http://stfufauxminists.tumblr.com/post/5421261102/hey-love-the-blog-ok-so-today-in-womens-studies) 
  
  

  My followers: Do you agree or disagree and why? 

No. Definitely no. 100 per cent no. 

While yes, the feminist (and also women’s!) movements had a major focus on equal pay, equal opportunity for equal work (a la second-wave!), this is not the sole and limiting factor for the movement’s work. Feminism links multiple other issues together to smash essentialism/patriarchy/sexism. Furthermore, no, you cannot also have a fiscally conservative socially liberal feminist; the attitude of a fiscal conservative is built on marketplace logic. The marketplace has created the public/private sphere distinction. For women to be paid and receive any benefits, women have to work - despite the fact that women do plenty of work without getting paid whatsoever. Capitalism is also a threat to women.

Don't Look, Listen.

Their asking their country and their world to listen to their voices instead of look at their clothes. Clothes do not prevent action; stereotypes sometimes do. I know I tend to do it myself sometimes, stereotype I mean. It’s just ignorance coming out of a closed mind. It’s about the person inside, not his or her clothing that matters.

Sucker Punch: Adding to the Female Stereotype

When I first saw a preview for this movie, I was definitely disgusted. The main character walks around in a little sailor suit of a costume fighting bad guys and escaping an asylum. Two typical plots together: action-packed videogame-like movie complete with pin-up girls. Not excatly what I would call self-actualized women. Fishnets in guns…. really? The protagonist’s name is Babydoll. Innocent virginal girl meet badass warrior. Dichotomy anyone?

Women in Academia :)

I found this link when I was looking at The Chronicle this morning. It gives hope to women in Academia, but also shows us that there still is a divide.

Feminism Doesn't Liberate Women?!?!?

Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly worked together on this new book that says feminism hasn’t done a thing for woman. Click above to read an excerpt from their new book that seeks to make women content with being oppressed and undermined by men. But the best part of it is, women should be HAPPY about it.  

“American women are the most fortunate human beings who have ever lived. No one has it better. No one.”

How about we ask rape victims who “are not victims” about this one?

I don’t think making less money than men makes me “fortunate.”

Were we fortunate before suffrage?

Reinventing Feminism! This TED Talk is presented by a contributor from the website, Feministing.com. It is interesting how she discusses the evolution of feminism (through the various waves) and the ability to sustain ourselves on our moment’s on-going work. Definitely a good think to look at if you want to know a brief bit on the feminist waves (maybe we will post something about them soon for all of you!).

“Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge.”

“I Have Sex” Campaign from Planned Parenthood (although the video comes from the Coffee Party USA; while it is nice and all to be non-partisan, for something that cuts a sure and easy means for birth control, STI testing, and a slew of additional medical exams, being non-partisan just won’t cut it.)
