i'm totally bloated. and i have a date tonight. niice.
but this isn't about that.
if you haven't noticed, this week is not shaping up to be good to a girl.
for instance, if you've discovered that you're getting paid less than your male counterpart because you have ovaries and he has testicles (which somehow means that he needs his whole dollar and you don't - you only need .77 cents because once you have a baby that clearly means you've lost all right to a full paycheck - or something asinine like that), then the SCOTUS has something to say to you: Shut the frak up!
and, if you're a girl who lives in montana and you'd like to continue using the Pill, well, there's a certain pharmacist who has a special message for you, too: too bad, you whore!
[update: and did you read about this? an intern sent me this news item last week and it just about made my head explode. a highschool girl gets gang raped then rescued by 3 other women at a college party and, for some reason, the DA decides not to press charges against the 8-10 guys who raped her for 'lack of evidence' even though their were plenty of witnesses, including the 17-year old girl who was raped! aargh! the comment thread is really good.]

Hey, I just wanted to say I liked your comment on the Netroots post. Sometimes it gets a little lonely being an outspoken feminist in Montana, so thanks.
you're welcome!
i grew up in a very religious community and so i was often the lone voice of feminist reason in the wilderness.
thank goodness for teh Internets or we'd all feel isolated!
