When an Indian woman was gang raped and murdered last week it drew national attention here in the U.S., as well as much deserved outrage. However when a 16 year old girl was allegedly gang raped by fellow students in an eastern Ohio town last summer, there was no national outrage. National coverage didn’t even […]
Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) is running for Senate. against Claire McCaskill. This Tea Party favorite has taken the misogynistic views of America’s right to a whole new low, declaring that: “First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways […]
A lot of attention has been given to Floyd Corkins, a LGBT activist accused of shooing a security guard at the Family Research Council.

Assange will appeal, his legal team confirmed. If this is unsuccessful, he will be extradited to Sweden in 10 days. Delivering his ruling at a hearing at Belmarsh magistrates […]
The wingnuts are in a laughing mood this morning over this “joke” photo posted at GOP2112. I never knew domestic violence could be so damn funny. I guess making jokes about a very serious problem that often leads to death and broken families is a key to their platform of “family values”. Maybe next we […]
The news that a judge has allowed the case of Jamie Leigh Jones against Halliburton/KBR to move forward has come at a very interesting time. Jones has accused co-workers at Halliburton/KBR of kidnapping and rape.
