Saturday Vids: Nineteen Percent on The Erosion of Roe v. Wade
This video is a few months old but I stumbled across it recently and think it’s still (always) very relevant, and a good review of where we were on the reproductive rights debate in 2011. Also, I love Nineteen Percent.

Saturday Vids: What Else Were You Expecting?
Upon my first viewing, I had a visceral reaction to this film, finding the violence against women repulsive. But I think I misinterpreted it. After a second viewing, I realized its true message — that misogynistic lyrics will lead to misogynistic actions. I think this video is effective in regards to the message it is portraying, and I think it should be seen by the masses. I think it does a great job of evoking a reaction and it definitely gets you to think twice about it’s message.

Saturday Vids: Hillary Clinton’s Greatest Moments

In honor of the last day of Women’s History Month, let’s give it up for Hillary.

Saturday Vids: Meghan McCain On Media’s Criticism Of Body
Political disagreements aside, I have to respect Meghan McCain’s recent discussion about her body: specifically her criticism of the way the media has responded to her body and her refusal to change a thing about herself. Also, the whole “boobgate” thing was a depressing display of how body shaming is still alive and well in our society and I have to give props to McCain for refusing to be victimized by it and instead using it as a way to point out how gross all the reactions to that picture were.
