This Week In The War On Women: Victory. Sweet, Sweet Victory.

June 29, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 2 Comments

We spend a lot — OK, most — of our time documenting the atrocities women endure in America, for the terrible and costly crime of being women. There’s a reason this column isn’t called “This Week In Happy Awesome Matriarchal Funtimes,” after all. And in case you’re wondering, yes, there are plenty of fresh new…

This Week In The War On Women: Yes, All Men

June 15, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray Leave a Comment

Last week, we shuddered in disgust at Brock Turner, the 20-year-old Stanford student who was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman behind a dumpster while she was unconscious and had the audacity to blame his crimes on the culture of drinking on college campuses. As if sexual assault is what happens when you drink. (FACT:…

This Week In The War On Women: We Have Our General And Her Name Is Hillary Clinton

June 8, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 1 Comment

Someone’s going to have to clean up all this shattered glass. On the seventh of June, in the year two thousand and frickin’ sixteen, a woman finally — ALL CAPS EXCLAMATION MARKS FINALLY!!! — shattered that stubbornly second-strongest glass ceiling. (We’ll be coming to smash that toughest ceiling of all in November.) And not just any woman, but…

This Week In The War On Women: Anti-Choicers Don’t Want To Punish Women Except Yes They Do

June 1, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 2 Comments

Seven years ago, Dr. George Tiller was assassinated in his church. His “crime,” according to his “pro-life” assassin, Scott Roeder, was continuing to be one of the few doctors in the entire country who provided late-term abortion care to women: despite the constant harassment from “pro-life” protesters outside his clinic, his home, and his church; despite the bombing of…

This Week In The War On Women: Zika Proves Anti-Choicers Don’t Give A Damn About Babies

May 25, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 1 Comment

Combatting the Zika virus, which causes severe birth defects and abnormalities, is the sort of thing that should transcend politics. The disease is rapidly spreading, and its effects on pregnant women are tragic. Several countries in Latin America have advised women to avoid pregnancy for up to two years — not an easy instruction to follow in countries that…

This Week In The War On Women: Progressives Have Their Own Lady Problem

May 18, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray Leave a Comment

Sometimes it’s good to take a break from the Republican Party’s explicit agenda to deprive women of their rights and humanity. So let’s change it up and take a look at some “progressives” who want in on that. Oh? Did you think misogyny was a purely partisan game? Nope. Behold, “progressives” fighting for their political…

This Week In The War On Women: Pro-Life Terrorism Still A-OK In Kansas

May 10, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 3 Comments

It’s good to know that even though “pro-life” terrorism is real, dangerous, and deadly — self-described “warrior for the babies” Robert L. Dear shot up a Colorado Planned Parenthood last November, for “life” — threats against abortion providers are nothing to worry about. Last week, a jury in Kansas decided threatening an abortion provider is…

This Week In The War On Women: It’s A Shame If You Lose Your Guns Just For Beating Up Women

May 4, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 2 Comments

What if victims of domestic violence didn’t have to worry that their abusers will come after them, guns a-blazin’, PEW PEW PEW, you’re dead? Sure, it would mean putting the lives of women — who die at the hands of their intimate partners every day, most often by being shot to death — above the absolute God-given unalienable right…

This Week In The War On Women: Republicans Really Want To Know What’s In Your Pants

April 27, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 2 Comments

There’s a new Greatest Threat To America, and it’s public bathrooms. Specifically, the epidemic of women and children trying to use public bathrooms while transgender women — who are also women!! — wish to use the bathroom as well. As if a public bathroom is the appropriate place for such a thing! You might think this…

This Week In The War On Women: If You’ve Ever Had A Job, Thank Anita Hill

April 20, 2016 by Kaili Joy Gray 6 Comments

If you are a woman of at least a certain age, you remember the fall of 1991 and how it changed everything. We had laws against sexual harassment, sure, but no one really knew what it was or that it was illegal. The way women were treated in the workplace was simply The Way Things Are.…
