CGT Anarchists acquitted of ‘ridiculing Catholicism’ with Processions of the Holy Pussy

Early this week a regional court told lawyers for the hardline Christian Advocates Association their appeal would not be allowed to sue the anarcho-syndicalist CGT union for “offending the Catholic religion,” though a number of feminist organisers are still being targeted.

 

Pussy Pride Parades in Andalucia

  ‘..We dressed up and paraded, accompanied by a Rebellious Pussy through the streets of Seville as a metaphor of what we DON’T want to be: submissive trapped women-..rebel-pussy

Next thing  the feminists were charged with a crime of incitement to discrimination, hatred and violence for reasons related to religion, for parading their giant pussy with the CGT anarchist union on the workers demo.  (report here English/Spanish) .

 In Spain the custom is to carry effegies of the Blessed Virgin, especially in Andalusia,  solemnly round the barrios demonstrating Catholic power.
Carrying a gigantic pussy instead is seen as sacrilege by the far right Association of Christian Lawyers who demanded up to 4 years prison plus fines for presenting the Holy Mother of God as a giant vagina, and taking it in procession through the streets, and have taken a whole series of well financed cases against collectives promoting sexual freedom, workers rights, Basque autonomy, etc..images Continue reading “Pussy Pride Parades resist Prosecution by Catholic Church”

  in various languagesabortion and choice

by Feministes   30 Jan 2014

** NO STEPS BACKWARDS REGARDING SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM!!! **

Everyone let’s participate in the Week to Defend Abortion Rights ..(February 1st –7th)

There’s a lot of us, and we’ve run out of patience….
There’s a lot of us and we know for sure that we won’t just watch how they
try to make us go back to the darkest years of our more recent herstory.
Creative, empowered, persistent and self-organized, our capacity to fight
back against the PP (Partido Popular) politicians of the Central
Government is enough, and we know it. They are divided and discussing if
they shuld move forward with the law proposal or not. Continue reading “Abortion Rights: Manifesto for Week of Action”

By Fabiola Ortiz  |En español  from IPS with thanks
stop feminicides
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 28 2013 (IPS) – The number of femicides – gender-related murders – in Brazil has reached civil war-like proportions. In just 10 years 40,000 women were killed in this country merely for being women.

Every year, between Nov. 25 and Dec. 10, the international community and women’s rights groups organise 16 days of activism against gender violence. Continue reading “Femicides in Brazil Hit Civil War Proportions”

I Can’t Believe I Still Have to Protest This Shit

de allysonthefeminist

protest this shitHow true is this? I find it ridiculous that we’re still fighting the same issues.

1. Reproductive RIGHTS. Abortion and contraception aren’t going anywhere. Get the fuck over it. Random thought, why are condoms never a part of the debate? It’s always about contraception women use.

2. Rape is rape. No means no. The rapist is the ONLY person to blame. And no, the body cannot shut down rape babies.

3. Same-sex couples will be able to get married all over the US. There’s no stopping it. GET USED TO IT!

4. Women deserve the same pay as men. Period.

5. Fucking pass VAWA already. ALL women deserve to be protected. Stop being assholes. Yeah, I’m looking at you Cantor.

Thanks for reading my rant!
