Can I just say (feminism)
hybridizedhuman:

wickedlilthing:
There’s nothing wrong with having a lot of sex. There’s nothing inherently wrong with polyamory, open relationships, or casual, random hookups. Sex positivity is a wonderful thing. However, there IS something wrong with acting as though that is the “right” way to be sexual, and it is not okay to…

Seriously, WHY is publicly feeding your child in a natural way a controversy? Breasts are there to feed babies! That’s their function!

Karen Mangiacotti: The Penis Mom →
jwisser:
When I was little I wanted to be a lot of things: Johnny Carson’s replacement; A Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader so good I was the only one on the team; an artist with my own wing at the Boston Museum of Fine Art — you know, normal stuff. I wanted to be a lot of things, but I never — I PROMISE you — ever wanted to grow up to be someone known as “The Penis Mom”.
But here I am.
