bonanzajellybean asked: tag all the PP meme posts and then link to the tag (:
Anonymous asked: I have only recently become a feminist. I have always supported woman's rights and equal pay etc, but I had never really given any thought to slut-shaming, in fact I was not really aware of the implications of it until earlier this year. My sister is quite a feminist, and as she is older I feel I get a lot of inspiration from her, as well as her opinions tending to rub off on me. I've...
ceasesilence asked: Saw several pro-choice posts that mention women as the person having the abortion. Just a friendly reminder from your local genderqueer transgender man over at ceasesilence that women are not the only ones who become pregnant (and of course, many women never become pregnant). Please talk about valuing *people's* lives, not just women's lives.

ribcagerebel asked: Also, on body positivity, shaming someone's body does not help them be healthy. Too often, I've seen such pressure perpetuates unhealthy self-image.

dailynerdgasms:
See, as a stutterer, I’m deeply offended. Never have I ever tried to say, “I love french fries,” and have it come out as, “RACISM-RACISM-RACISM, MISOGYNY-MISOGYNY-MISOGYNY.” BIG difference.

Justices Take Up Race as a Factor in College Entry →
in the words of Vickie’s sister:
“I was once told by an employer that he was looking for people who didn’t ‘need growth’ and who were ‘an immediate and excellent fit for the job already.’ This mindset permeates our present and pollutes our future. How can communities be given a chance to rise if their best and brightest are turned away by this very...

Hello, world!
My name’s Kristan and I’m one of the new admins for PPS! I’ll be helping out behind the scenes, blurbing about things, answering your questions and appeasing the PP god/desses. I’m a queer, fat femme-ish person who prefers female/feminine pronouns, loves science-y things and the color blue, and thinks that cooking, hiking boots and poetry are pretty schmexy. I usually...
Anonymous asked: I'm pretty sure that women's studies question was mine, and from forever ago xD I have no idea what I wanted to talk about now, lol.

Anonymous asked: So this is probably going to be a bit awkward, but it's been bugging me lately. My sex education was very limited. (Various forms of birth control, sti's/std's) but we learned nothing about actual sex and how it happens. I know a few ways a man and a woman can have sex, a couple ways two men can have sex, but little to nothing about two women having sex. (People have mentioned...
Anonymous asked: Is there anyone here I could talk to about women's studies? fyeahwomensstudieswolverine doesn't have an ask, and google isn't helping my search :/
Anonymous asked: Hey, can we submit stories of people being Power Pussies?
Anonymous asked: Bikini Kill are the obvious choice, but they're amazing. Huggybear and the Frumpies were pretty cool, and Jack Off Jill, who were more goth than the other riot grrrl bands.
Anonymous asked: Welcome back :) I had lost hope of your return for a while there ^^;

kindofdistracting asked: I'm only through 30 of those lovely pages but i love you already.
smoggy-starlight asked: How can I look at JUST the Power Pussy memes and not other things? Is there a special tag to filter by?
Anonymous asked: Hey! Love your blog, just spent the first 2/3 hour of the new year (and a couple hours of the last) on it. Question: Can I be a Power Pussy too, even if I have plans to remove/seal off/sterilize/"I-haven't-spent-much-time-researching-surgery-it-seems-like-a-faraway-dream-right-now" my own? (I'd de-anon, but I don't have Tumblr)

Anonymous asked: "Prude shaming" is not a real thing. Okay? Okay.
Anonymous asked: I'm so happy the other Anons have brought up prude shaming. I'm asexual and it's taken me a while to stop feeling like a a bad feminist because some feminists get overly enthusiastic promoting the wonders of sex while trying to fix slut shaming and forget that not wanting/having sex is just as valid. Cheers!

When Your 7-Year-Old Son Announces, 'I'm Gay' →
“Do I think this is the last word on his orientation? I don’t know. He’s 7. Maybe as he gets older he’ll tell me something else, but it’s just as likely that he won’t. But really, that doesn’t even matter. What matters is right now. And right now I have a young son who happily announces ‘I’m gay.’ And I’m so proud to be his...
Anonymous asked: To weigh in on the prude-shaming topic, it also really saddens me as a grey-A identified person - people just assume that, in not having many sexual desires, it's because I'm simply a tease/prude/frigid/too scared to actually have sex despite the (slight, occasional) attraction. Ugh, people.

so here's what i don't get about this whole...
i’m all for it. i think everyone should have the freedom to participate in any religion that speaks to them, or to refrain from participating in religion altogether.
i DON’T, however, think any one religion should take precedence over the rest; which, when you read or hear the arguments posed by certain radical conservatives, is really what all of this is about.
and, once again, it...
Anonymous asked: I have a question for my fellow power pussies. You see, I'm all for the sex positive movement and against slut shaming, BUT I feel like prude shaming should be brought to light and fought against as well. Many people are mocked and belittled for not having sex or not having "enough" sex. I've had several people tell me that I should be ashamed of myself or embarrassed for being...
