Quickies: Intel invests in diversity, Republicans attack abortion (again), and conversations with dudes
- Intel wants diversity in the workplace, puts $300 million where their mouth is – And cites GamerGate as a reason why diversity is necessary!
- Republicans are forcing women to have abortions – and then telling us it’s too late – “Women who do manage to get to a clinic where abortions are performed may be met with mandatory waiting periods of up to 72 hours. For women who don’t have access to cars, who can’t take one day off of work – let alone two or three, during the work week, within 20 weeks, for multiple clinic visits – these hurdles can make getting an early abortion nearly impossible.”
- Russia says drivers must not have “sex disorders” – “Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences. Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as “mental disorders” now barring people from driving.” From Mary.
- Every internet conversation with dudes, ever – Oh yes, especially that last line.
- Cute Animal Friday! With the unintentional theme of animals in costumes!Batman and Robin dachshunds. From Criticaldragon1177, Indiana Bones and the Raiders of the Lost Bark and animals in battle armor.
Amanda,
So Russian homophobic/transphobic bigots have found a new way to oppress non cis gendered heterosexual people. No wonder our religious right hate mongers so love Russia.
