It’s a tough time to be a nun. Historically, nuns have been nurturers and leaders in their faith in caretaking for those in need. They’ve taught the doctrines of faith, including forgiveness and respect for others, helped run soup kitchens and homeless shelters and worked in social service agencies and community centers. The values that drive nuns to commit to a life of service include belief in teaching and ministry, the desire to be compassionate to others and to do good through God’s will.
Strange then this desire to educate, help and offer support would put nuns in direct contrast with the religious patriarchy and the higher-ups in the Vatican. The Pope and other Vatican officials have come down hard on nuns for views they see as radical. What are these radical views that are getting nuns into hot water? They include:
Inquiring about the male-only priesthood doctrine
Making public statements that contradict Catholic bishops
Demonstrating support for President Obama’s health care plan
Spending too much time fighting economic injustice and poverty rather than denouncing homosexuality and abortion
The church is so worked up about the nuns that they’re calling this behavior “radical feminism” and have taken action to sanction nuns. Nuns will now have to revise their statutes, get church approval for every speaker and replace their traditional texts with those that support a more rigid view of church doctrine.

Although the practice of selective abortion of female foetuses is restricted to India and to some South Asian communities in other parts of the world, its very possibility creates a more fundamental crisis for feminism. This is because feminists generally support the unconditional rights of women to safe and legal abortions. We see this as necessary because pregnancy and child-rearing are for all practical purposes, the sole responsibility of women. We should therefore, have the right to choose when and under what circumstances we will bring a child into the world, for we should be able to control what happens to our bodies and to our lives. The right to safe and legal abortion is an essential right of self-determination.

if i am rebloging an image post and want to add images of my own, how do i do that? it will only let me add images that are already online using a url, but i want to upload from my computer. i guess i could upload to tinypic or w/e, but that seems inefficient.

When Phyllis Schlafly is forced to concede that not all feminists are ugly, it’s clear that something has gone awry on the right. Sure enough, in April, Schlafly, a conservative crusader who has been peddling stereotypes of women’s activists as physically and socially unappealing for decades, thought she should warn cadets at the Citadel not to fall for one. “Some of them are pretty,” she said. “They don’t all look like Bella Abzug.”
i haven't been around for awhile, did sephirajo ever apologize for bullying another disabled woman or does she still post in sfd
it amuses me that my neighbor is supposedly all about tolerance and acceptance of everyone and then goes on tangents for miles about how religious people should just go and die somewhere

What is an indigo Child?
As a summary, here are the ten attributes that best describe this new kind of child, the Indigo Child
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
They are not shy in letting you know what they need.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played girl-power icon Buffy Summers, once told a reporter that she hated the word “feminist” because it “brings up such horrible connotations and makes you think of women who don’t shave their legs.”
