Wednesday Links Round Up

Hey ya’ll, welcome to your Wednesday links round up!

Aliasmitch wanted to share “this amazing piece of Jazz poetry. I was fortunate enough to see the great Jane Cortez perform about a month ago, listening to her performances afterwards has proven to me that this a voice we need to hear now. This piece is titled “Maintain Control/Economic Love Song 1.”

Eszenyme read this post from feministing discussing a recent ruling that will continue to enforce virginity tests in Egypt. She found the news to be surprising given the recent transition to democracy Egypt has undertaken since ousting Mubarak from power last year.

FemOnFire found this post detailing how male privilege can permeate all different interests, and explains how wrong it is to hold female fictional characters to different standards than their male counterparts.

Internationalcupcakebandit read a post from the blog “feministing”  which accurately reports on a really scary invasion of privacy. A bill in Tennessee could allow access to abortion providers and patients which should be medical records that are always kept private.

Kaycorbs444 found this blog since she’s been obsessed with hating Rush Limbaugh after his negative comments about Sandra Fluke and birth control in the U.S. It does a great job of analyzing just why this scenario is such an issue for American women and their rights with the healthcare system.

Parklena discovered an article about how women’s reproductive rights are not respected in so many different states. It was very informative but very sad that so many women have to jump through so many different bans to get abortions.
