It’s simple.

This project has blown-up and is getting a lot of faces and voices out there. It’s showing a real, honest side of feminism - to everyone, not just other feminists. It’s personal and political. It’s inclusive, and honest. It’s opening up doors for dialogue with and amongst young people.

And the best part about it is, that this was all accomplished with an idea, a piece of paper, and a camera. Simplicity.

Every feminist has to face this at some point in their lives

…well the female feminists at least.

The male feminists that I know mostly get people looking at them like;

 Dude really?

…and then people like me just run up to them like;

But sometimes I just want us all to be like;

For anyone who only sees gender and sex in black and white, here’s proof by the lovely humon that nature is just as fluid with representations of gender and sex as we are.

Medical staff who carry out abortions "under siege" from protests and political pressure

We cannot let our hard fought rights be reduced to mere religious and political dogma.
” a third of women require this service in the course of the lifetimes” We cannot let pressure groups and the church stop doctors training for abortions. We cannot and we will not. Prepare to see some serious protest from youfem in the coming weeks.
Hands off my uterus stupid pressure groups. My body. My choice.
