Bad Reputation (Open night owl thread)

Joan Jett’s jacket. Notice the pins.

“keep abortion legal”

“If she says no, it’s rape”

“Pro fucking choice”

This jacket is from about thirty years ago. These issues were big then. Thirty years later, these issues are still present. I was amazed to find these pins on the jacket, and realize this, because I would have thought, back then, if I was alive, that those issues would be solved by NOW.

But they aren’t. Joan Jett knew what was up.

Why can’t we take a minute and soak in her “bad reputation” and think about how in thirty years, abortion and rape culture STILL are huge issues.

Thing 2… I love Joan Jett and the Foo Fighters and so finding this video made my day (language Not-exactly-SFW unless you work in Congress or a state legislature, perhaps *wink*):

Alright, that’s all! Open thread, and enjoy your night.
