Why am I not surprised?

Hey kids. Long time no see. It's been a crazy busy week (or two). Someday I will regale you all with tales of my awkward match.com dates! (Yes, I caved. But my therapist is very proud.)

But today I am just stopping by to encourage some feminist activism. Remember almost a year ago, I posted about how the National Crime and Punishment Museum apparently doesn't consider rape a crime? Well, now we have a fun new development!

The museum is now advertising its "Crimes of Passion" special exhibit for Valentine's weekend. BECAUSE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS ROMANTIC, YO.

A petition just went up asking the museum to take intimate partner violence and other gendered/sexual crimes seriously.
