The Department of Justice said Wednesday that it will appeal a federal judge’s order to make the most common morning-after pill available without a prescription for all ages.

sigh…the fight continues.

I can’t with this country. 

flip ALL THE TABLES.

BLAAAAAAAARG.

If the writers of this bill consider the fetus a person and therefore worthy of protection under the law…can a person really be “evidence”? Or is the fetus then considered a “witness”? Because I’m pretty sure fetuses can’t swear in on a bible. And if you make a fetus “evidence” then it’s not really a person, is it? It’s a thing.

UGH. People are idiots and this is one of the worst things I have ever heard, ever. Top 5 at least. 

As a lesbian couple exited The Stingray Café, restaurant owner Ed McGovern handed them a hastily scrawled and poorly spelled letter condemning their love for each other because apparently their committed relationship is ruining lives.

He says he gave them the letter “out of love,” but anyone who has the nerve to say something like this to other human beings is just a jackass in my book.

And Rebecca led him to my twitter doorstep.

Like, look, as long as we sexually reproduce as a human species, we’re going to be physically attracted to one another. When we can’t look beyond the initial, “Hey-ho, nice butt there,” to see intelligence, talent, wit, charm, kindness, etc. to value people then, YES, we have a problem.

Sexual objectification hits women harder because we live in a culture where women aren’t supposed to express sexual desire without being maligned as sluts or whores or deviants. I can wear whatever—a bikini or a sweatsuit—and there will be dudes who are turned on or repulsed by my appearance. Can’t control someone’s thoughts. Also, I can’t help being turned on by Jeremy Renner’s butt. I still value him as an actor first and foremost, but his butt is adorable. To me.

I’m not threatening Jeremy Renner’s livelihood or self-worth by posting a silly, clearly meant-in-jest piece of stupid literature. In fact, I’m helping it. As an actor, he knows the business means his public image is a product. Actors know this. Actors train in the gym to look good. Actors pose in provocative photoshoots to help their career. I’m not going to feel guilty by feeling about Jeremy Renner’s butt the way Jeremy Renner wants me to feel about his butt—especially since I know for a fact JEREMY RENNER IS TOTALLY COOL WITH HAVING HIS BUTT OBJECTIFIED. A mutual acquaintance has confirmed this. 

I would like to conclude by saying that I sincerely doubt this guy is spending his free time battling the modeling world or the beauty pageant circuit or the make-up industry or any institution that physically objectifies women. However, when a woman puts up a silly article about Jeremy Renner’s butt, he feels the need to call foul on objectification. Ugh.

I REPEAT JEREMY RENNER IS TOTALLY COOL WITH HAVING GIRLS WRITE ABOUT HIS BUTT. I AM NOT DEMEANING HIM. For fuck’s sake.

/controversy ahead. EEKS!
