women: like people, only not

The very real fact is that we stand on the cusp of a devastating loss of the rights of half of our population. I'm not just talking about abortion or reproductive freedom -- although those are both fundamental aspects of our freedom -- but our very right to exist as equal human beings in this country is under attack. It's actually been under attack for decades (in truth, that attack never ceased), but with the rise of Christian fundamentalism and the open flaunting of their misogynistic collective id, they are turning up the heat on the frog in hot water that is women's rights in this country.

I've got a few more links to add in that vein, that I hope you'll also read.

• We've been saying it for years: the anti-choice crowd isn't just anti-abortion, it's anti-contraception.
• And anti-woman, really.
• Everything you need to know to be a classy woman, as defined by a privileged white misogynist with entitlement issues.
