SlutWalk Las Vegas will be happening on Saturday, Sept 10th, 7 to 8:30. We made this poster for them.
If you’re wondering what the heck a “SlutWalk” is, here’s an article that explains this phenomenon.

You probably haven’t heard about a recent incident involving the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity at Yale, in which the pledges paraded around campus threatening other students and chanting, “No means yes! Yes means anal!”
Yale University has suspended the DKE chapter for 5 years, but have these extraordinarily privileged young men learned their lesson? Doug Lanpher, interim executive director of DKE, told The New York Times in response to the ruling:
“We suspended their pledging activities for six weeks so we could review their activities with them. Clearly the chanting was inappropriate, but does it warrant a five-year suspension? While the events were insulting and in poor taste, DKE firmly disputes this to be a legally actionable case of sexual harassment.”
This feeble attempt to muddy the waters and squirm out of responsibility suggests to us a certain lack of academic rigor. Therefore, we have constructed the syllogism in the poster above, simply following the DKE proposition to its logical conclusion.

The recent War on Women waged by the American Trailer Park Patriarchs Party is, of course, just the most recent skirmish in a virulent campaign that has being going on at least since a certain Bronze Age thug/goatherd first intoned, “Look, it’s Yahweh or the highway.”
Now, the planet herself is waking and says to you, “Rise up, my children. I am with you. I will strengthen your arm. Strike a blow for freedom. Yours…and mine.”

Should rape and incest survivors be forced to prove that they were assaulted to the IRS? Amazingly, the Republicans in the House of Representatives have answered with a resounding “Yes!” HR 3, the bill that includes this provision, has now passed in the House.
Here’s how it would work: HR 3 imposes tax penalties on small businesses and individuals who buy abortion coverage with their OWN money—with exceptions only for cases of rape, incest, or when a woman’s life is in danger.
The result? Survivors of rape and incest who seek abortions could be forced to detail their assaults and provide proof to IRS investigators.
Tell the Senate to stand up against this terrible bill, and speak out against the Republican war on women. Please sign the MoveOn.org petition today.

A teen-aged cheerleader in Texas refused to cheer for a player who was convicted of raping her. (He had received a light sentence from the court, and was still allowed to play for the school.) The school dismissed her from the cheer leading squad, so she sued. She lost.
The high school has come up with a figure of $45,000 in “damages” that she owes. And now the US Supreme Court has refused to hear the case, giving its stamp of approval to the rapist and the high school that have caused such flagrant harm to this girl.
This story is difficult to believe. Here are the phone numbers and email addresses of the school officials involved, in case you would like to call and ask for clarification on this story:
Richard Bain Jr., Supt., Silsbee School , rbain@silsbeeisd.org, (409) 980-7800
Eldon Franco, Principal, Silsbee High School, efranco@silsbeeisd.org; (409) 980-7800, ext. 6030.
The fax is 409-980-7897.
I usually try to take the line that “Republicans are people too, and our fellow Americans as well” but I would rather not share a country with this guy.
The Republican War on Women is now in full force. Wake up, America! Your people need you! Click the poster above to down a printer-friendly 8.5 x 11 version.
What else happens when we defund Planned Parenthood? Because of the many different programs that Panned Parenthood administers, the ramifications are vast. Are our friends among the Republican rank-and-file in favor of more violence against women and children? That seems unlikely. More probably, domestic violence is just another pawn in the relentless power plays by the right-wing elites.
