You better believe I stood up and applauded that line!
“So their kids have a shot at not being dead.”
All of this.
We don’t lift weights in order to look hot, especially for the likes of men like that. What makes them think that we even WANT them to find us attractive? If you do, thanks very much, we’re flattered. But if you don’t, why do you really need to voice this opinion in the first place, and what makes you think we actually give a toss that you, personally, do not find us attractive? What do you want us to do? Shall we stop weightlifting, amend our diet in order to completely get rid of our ‘manly’ muscles, and become housewives in the sheer hope that one day you will look more favourably upon us and we might actually have a shot with you?! Cause you are clearly the kindest, most attractive type of man to grace the earth with your presence.

Some people think that you can’t let same-sex couples get married without changing the definition of the word “marriage.” When we let openly gay people join the army, did we have to change the definition of the word “Army”? Did Rosa Parks make us change the definition of the word “bus”?
It’s one thing to blame the Bible for your bigotry, but don’t blame the dictionary.

The senate in the state of Washington passed a bill 28-21 this evening to legalize marriage equality, meaning the measure is well on its way to completely passing.
Before same-sex marriage is fully legalized in Washington, the bill will move on to the house, where it’s sure to pass, and the governor has already promised to sign it.
This is going to happen. Get ready.
