I'm an avowed feminist. I like ladies so much I can't even have just one girlfriend. And I can't confine myself to just one ma ape. I've had my eyes on Malia and Sasha Obama as my new ma apes or, Plan B, Rachel Maddow! So I feel like it is my feminist duty to share a couple of important things:

And here is a great piece in the New Yorker about the Lily Ledbetter Act and Equal Pay for Equal Work. It is supported by my future grandpa, opposed by McCain because it would cause more lawsuits.
