Monday roundup

Which is it, notallmen? Are you going to keep repeating that women needn't treat every man as a potential predator, or are you going to blame women--as some of the commenters here do--for not treating every man as a potential predator? I hate to keep having to go over this, but drunkenness doesn't amount to consent to sex; letting someone inside does not amount to consent to sex. When a woman asks someone to walk her home, she's asking for someone to keep her safe; she's emphatically not consenting to sex.
 
Many women will lose access to life-saving medication because politics--we'll get to that in a minute--and there's more arsenic around because politics.

Now for the Hobby-Lobby debacle... let's start with this,
Today, five men on the Supreme Court said that women's reproductive health care is less important than a woman's boss's superstition-based prudery and moral trepidation about fornication for female pleasure. They ruled that it doesn't matter if birth control actually causes abortions; it only matters if business owners sincerely believe that birth control causes abortions. They ruled that it's okay for a corporate person to discriminate against a female semi-person and dictate that she not spend her compensation on stuff that might possibly be enabling sex without consequences, if they believe that God thinks they should.
and then just turn to Twitter:
