Oh, and in case you missed this on the blogs over the weekend, sit down and take a look at this vid. Gross sexism is alive and well in this series of product marketing images depicting violence against women. Are you buying it?

(Burn It Down was produced by GABNet NYNJ commemorating International Human Rights Day)

Puts you in a buying mood doesn’t it (only if you are violent serial rapist). It left even our furry friend, New Hampster, speechless; however, Riverdaughter has some push back and other purchases for us:

The new administration would have us believe that women are “special interests”. This is incorrect. We make up 51% of the population in this country. What does it mean when the country considers the majority “special”? Do we have some kind of mental insufficiency that causes us to be less than equal in a country where we outnumber every other group? What the hell is that all about anyway? Why have we allowed an advantage in upper body strength to become an insurmountable disadvantage for women? Buy a taser and learn to roundhouse kick. Even the odds, ladies.

I couldn’t agree more. Stand up and push back, ladies. You have the power to define, doll up, and defend yourself without being debased, distorted, or disfigured.
