American politics and women.

rigelandsirius: oceanicsteam: Reminder, the GOP’s war on women is nothing new. The Lilly Ledbetter Equal Pay act was in fact the first piece of legislation Obama signed upon becoming president. The bill made it easier for women to sue over pay discrimination compared to men of equal experiences in the same position. This year they’ve just decided to step it into overdrive to try to energize their crazy base. I mean the abortion, birth control, ect are no surprised, but I still can’t believe Scott Walker actually revoked Wisconsin’s equal pay discrimination protection bill. Like what in the holy fuck. They’re not even trying to hide their contempt. “no self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex.” -susan b. anthony, 1872
