Have you posted this comic yet?
No! I haven’t even seen it before. This is excellent and illustrates the false equivalence of that troll tactic so well, and without even getting into the lack of large penis bulges or outlines! Great point, simply the expressions on the faces and how they’re drawn makes a big difference.

Just to address the numerous questions I’ve been getting in my Ask box, and via twitter:
MEDIA: Media contacts are being sorted out. A number of you have mentioned passing this on to outlets ranging from the University of Pittsburgh News to CNN and I thank you all for that, but at this point I will be sorting out which outlets to talk to in coming days, and would appreciate it...

Support birth control!
“I don’t want my boss telling me I can’t have insurance coverage for birth control — but that’s exactly what some members of Congress are trying to put into law.

stfuhypocrisy:
by Sasha Pasulka
I’m sick and tired of people acting like it’s no big deal that Chris Brown will be performing at the Grammys.
