Spot the Myths: Inviting Rape

February 25, 2011 | 2 Comments

Too many people either sent this to me directly or posted it to their Facebook pages for me not to include in another edition of Spot the Myths.

Birth Control Sabotage & Pregnancy Coercion

February 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment

The National Domestic Violence Hotline and the Family Violence Prevention Fund released a report today on birth control sabotage and pregnancy coercion. One in 4, my friends.
