Questions: Do you think it's right for the catholic hospitals to deny emergency contraceptive pills to rape victims?
Do you believe that it's right to blame the victim of a rape as the guilty ones?

Jessica Valenti's 2007 Full Frontal Feminism discusses that many women get blamed for standing up for her rights. An example is when the lady that was raped in Italy, she decided to take this to court but the rapist was released because he said she asked for it. Women are basically seen as the ones to blame for. If they are raped it's their fault and if they want emergency contraceptives they can't have them. Ms. Valenti uses common sense to show that it's a stupid reason that they are trying to prevent rape victims from getting any help. some may have to be brutally beaten in order to get help while other's nothing will be done for because it's legal as it is in Tennessee.
Full Frontal Feminism has declared that many people attack feminism due to sexism. Some say it's dead but yet it still gets attacked. Men are the main attackers, scaring women into not joining feminism. Many see feminism as the cause of most problems but feminism only helps people to be themselves. Since men try to control women's body by not giving them good sex education, even some women attack feminist also.


Questions: 1.How's feminism racist?
2. Why are women or girls seen as sluts/bad things for liking and having a lot of sex, but when men do the same, they're seen as a good thing.Why?
