Over at an NBC run website called GotCast, there's a comedy contest called Stand Up for Diversity, and your own AbqFeminist blogger, me, has entered as a lady comic. A gay lady comic, to be exact, but you wouldn't know it from my profile.
Anyhoo, if any readers here feel like voting for me, I'm currently ranked 5th with 16 votes, and only 3 votes behind the contestant in 4th place.
Click here to see my site, I'm Cerak85 over there. I have a video and my headshot up.
You do have to 'sign up' for a profile, but once that's done voting is easy and can happen once a day.
Thanks in advance.

Restrictive Laws on a Right to Abortion
It's scary how states are trying to restrict a woman's right to have an abortion. Watch this segment of "The Rachel Maddow Show" to learn more about this issue.
Don't let Roe v Wade disappear.

A sister blog!
Local Albuq blogger Danielle Bauer - of New Mexico Independent fame -- has started a great new blog called "Queer: Oh, Dear!" and she kicks it off with a great post about fake mustaches (you'll have to read it, to get it) and you can check it out here.

If Movies/Television Were Reality!!!!
I'm sure there are a lot of examples of male characters who "know what it is like to be a woman". I encourage that all who read this add their own favorites.
Here are a few examples:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the muscle man himself, played a pregnant man in "Junior" (it would have been hilarious to watch the baby's head crown out of his body!)
Charles Tucker III (Trip), played by Connor Trinneer, from "Enterprise" was pregnant for a short period of time with an alien baby (this is why you don't touch aliens until you know what will happen!)
I don't think there is any other actor "who knows what it's like to be a woman" more than Scott Bakula. While he starred in "Quantum Leap", his character leaped into the body of:
A secretary who is sexually harassed by her best friend's "married fiance" ("What Price
Gloria?")
A divorced mother who has to save her kidnapped son ("Another Mother")
A beauty contestant ("Miss Deep South")
A teenager who's mother has died and her father kicked her out when she became pregnant ("8 1/2 Months" - This one is my favorite since he has a craving and goes into labor at the end)
A teenager who is date-raped and is threatened by her rapist ("Raped")
A teenager in a singing trio ("A Song for the Soul")
A wife and mother who is caught between her backwards thinking husband and her Women's Lib thinking daughter ("Liberation")
Dr. Ruth (Yes THAT Dr. Ruth in , "Dr. Ruth")
A female inmate ("Revenge of the Evil Leaper")

Spreading The Word!!!!!
You've Got to Check This Out!
I watched this awesome movie I was a kid and I laugh EVERY time I watch it. This movie is "9 to 5". It stars Lily Tomlin as the woman in the office who has the most experience and is passed over for a man who has a family to support (because a single woman doesn't have kids to support, right?!), Jane Fonda as the mousey housewife who is recently divorced and trying her hand at her first job, and Dolly Parton as the married sexy secretary who is constantly sexually harassed by the boss. For those of you who have not watched it, it's a movie about women trying to get respect at the workplace. I don't want to go into too much detail, but the three women get high one night to blow off steam and discuss how they would bumped off their sexist boss. All three scenarios are hilarious (Jane Fonda's is my favorite and my sister's favorite is Lily Tomlin's-she's a Disney fan). The next day, they all somewhat live out their fantasies, get rid of the boss for a few weeks, make changes in the work place, and by the end of the movie, justice is served! While the hair, fashion, and technology is outdated, they do not detract from the enjoyment and hilarity of this film. In fact, for some, it is very relatable. For all feminists, I highly recommend this film!
