    Marriage between man and woman? what about genderqueer?

    So this question occurred to me while perusing some of the threads out there about same-sex marriage. That tired old argument that "marriage is between a man and a woman" of course came up and that got me questioning: Do people who believe that, believe that those who identify as genderqueer in...

    The "F word" for those who hate the word "feminist"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJPT_U97lNs Laci Green is one of my favorite youtubers and puts it really well. All the time feminists such as myself hear people hating on the movement or on the word itself because of the negative connotations that have been attached to it by it's opponents or...

    Short film puts everyday sexism into perspective

    Try Doubting Everyday Sexism After Watching This Video Warning, there is topless nudity in this film, swearing, and I feel like I should put in a trigger warning due to depictions of sexual assault.

    Public breast-feeding thread

    This topic came up in a conversation I was having with a friend of mine earlier today, so I thought it would be good for us to have a thread here where we can talk about it. Basically to provide a focal point for information, legalities, advice on how to approach it and how to handle those who...

    Mandatory post-mortem organ donation

    What do you think of the concept of mandatory post-mortem organ donation? Basically what this means is that whenever a person died all usable organs and fluids (i.e. blood) would be removed from from the body to be donated to those who need them and this would be legally required of every...

    ACA success stories

    There's been a lot of threads posted here about the supposed "horrors of the ACA" and frankly I'm getting rather sick of it (and not just because all of these stories are based on misinformation or outright lies) So I thought it was time to start a thread where we could talk about the success...

    healthcare as a benefit/privilege?

    I've always believed that healthcare should be a right given to everyone simply because we're all human. Yet throughout this whole ACA thing I've been hearing opponents talk about healthcare as a "benefit" or worse yet a "privilege" as if it's something that should be "earned". Seriously...

    Universal healthcare and personal responsibility

    A thought just occured to me. I've often heard conservatives go on and on about "personal responsibility" and using it to argue against social welfare programs. Well if they care so much about personal responsibility then shouldn't that give them cause to be in favor of universal healthcare...

    Batman vs. Joker and morality

    Simply put, from a moral perspective, should batman kill joker? That is, is it more ethical to kill him, or more ethical to simply keep throwing him in arkum asylum knowing he will just escape to torture and kill more people? Why? Now I don't want to get into a continuity debate and i do...

    Self-confidence and looking beautiful/handsome

    A little bit of background to show where I'm coming from on this: I've always been more of a tomboy type, being more interested in what society deems masculine. I don't wear makeup, usually don't wear jewelry, refuse to wear high heels, don't care about fashion or vanity pounds or many of the...

    Public breastfeeding and being discreet

    This thread isn't so much about whether or not mother's should breast feed in public but is more meant to focus on the idea that breastfeeding mothers should be discreet and cover up. I personally disagree with this sentiment and feel that a mother should be able to breast feed in whatever...

    The cost gap

    We hear a lot about the wage gap but one thing that doesn't get a lot of attention that i ran into today is the cost gap. In other words the idea that women are frequently charged more for things like hair cuts, dry cleaning, deodorant razors and other personal hygiene implements, health...

    Making feminism more palatable

    As we have seen in these forums and elsewhere it is very common to come across people who will say "oh, I'm all for equal rights for women... but I'm not a feminist". Essentially feminism has become a bad word to a lot of people because of all the negative associations that go along with it and...

    Victories!!!

    I thought it would be good of us to have a thread to focus on the current victories and steps forward that feminism has accomplished or helped to accomplish. I feel this will give us an opportunity to celebrate our progress as well as providing inspiration for those moments when we may feel...

    Why should the enlightened be asexual?

    This concept was brought up in another thread and it's something i've never quite understood. We humans are very sexual by nature so i've never understood why lack of sex or lack of sexual attraction is so often seen as a requirment for enlightenment. Sure i know the idea is to seperate...

    Is feminism still needed in the U.S.

    This has come up in a few threads I've been spying on so I thought I'd give it its own thread. So basically do you feel that feminism as a movement is still needed in the united states? Why or why not?
