5 Feminist Demands She Wants You to Ignore. →
I will spare you reading this awful “article” that Fox News republished from Ask Men by summarizing it for you: “No means yes!”
Pro-tip for Fox News/Ask Men: putting a picture of a woman in a bikini as the main picture for an article on feminism is probably a bit misleading.
P.S. This piece has 3k likes on facebook. You read that right. 3000.

This means that after years of trying to get birth control covered to the same extent that health plans cover...

A friendly reminder: Do NOT leave your wallet or...
I know that sounds like common sense, but I just saw a woman’s wallet get stolen right out of her cart at Whole Foods. Her wallet was right by her, in the child seat part of the cart.
