Let’s try and do something a little different than what we normally do on this Tumblr.
Let’s raise money to help DEFEND WOMEN’S RIGHTS.
50% of proceeds from this shirt will go to Planned Parenthood to help fight for Texas women.
Get the shirt for $15 here: http://teespring.com/defendwomensrights
More info:
As women (and men) battle old politicians over control of their own bodies, it’s quite clear that the very real War on Women is in full swing. With many like-minded individuals following and reading this Public Shaming Tumblr blog, I would like to try something a little bit different here. Let’s raise money to help fight that fight and defend women’s rights together.
Like many of you, I have very much been inspired by the brave women and men who are fighting for women’s rights in Texas and elsewhere across the country. You all saw some of the reaction posted here directed at Texas State Senator Wendy Davis who stood for near 13 hours and spoke out to defend Texas women’s rights.
Thanks to a great female designer, who is a friend of this site, we’re setting up a Teespring campaign. For $15, you’ll get this Defend Women’s Rights t-shirt with Wendy Davis’ now iconic sneakers which have come to represent our weapon of choice: taking a stand and letting our voice be heard. This site will donate 50% of everything we make to Planned Parenthood so they can defend those rights. The rest will go towards work on (hopefully with your help) putting together more campaigns so this site can continue to positively help raise money for more causes. Via a Teespring campaign, you will only be charged and the shirts will only be printed if we sell at least 150 of them.

28 year old French tennis player Marion Bartoli is your 2013 Women’s Singles Wimbledon champion!
That’s Bartoli there on your left. And I’m sure you can see the problem here. You don’t? Oh, that might be because you’re not a BIG SEXIST ASSHOLE. Because, if you were, you’d take one good look at the Wimbledon champ on the left there, then take one good look at the Tennis player next to her, Sabine Lisicki, whom she beat to win the title and realize “THE WIMBLEDON CHAMPION IS NOT A TALL SKINNY BLONDE MODEL LOOKING WOMEN! THIS CAN’T BE!!!!”
If you open the official Wimbledon rule book to page 13405 you’ll see that “Being an official ‘Wimbledon Babe’ in the eyes of Dan over on Twitter” is one of the official qualifications of winning Wimbledon.“
Oh, wait a fucking second. No, it isn’t.
YEAH, BARTOLI. Being the champion of your chosen sport is all about how hot you are and totally not about being the absolute best at said sport. GOD, BARTOLI, WIMBLEDON CHAMPION, LEARN HOW TO PLAY SOME GOD DAMN TENNIS.
Women playing sports is totally useless if said women are not pleasing to the eye. I mean, what’s the point of women playing sports if it isn’t to please the male spectators?
Sadly, these aren’t the comments of a few misogynist shit bags. Hundreds and hundreds of tweets are attacking this girl because they don’t like how she LOOKS…
”May the best man win! May the most attractive women win!“
I guess not too surprising to see this one from a dude who calls himself "London’s Stifler.”
“LOL! SHE"S SWEATING AFTER PLAYING SPORTS. WHO DOES THAT?!?!”
haha! A “back to the kitchen” joke! So original! And oddly enough, though, probably the least offensive out of all the Bartoli attacks.
“#whale”
And if you’re a Tennis-watching sexist and the whole “fat slut” this and “ugly face” that started to get a bit boring to you while watching Wimbledon, then you could have apparently focused on Bartoli’s “erect nipples” during the match like seemingly hundreds did…
Disgusting as it is objectifying any girl like this, would these dudes have had a problem with a braless Maria Sharapova running around the Tennis court? Or would they have been clamoring for her to take her top off too?
Before you answer my clearly rhetorical questions, let these fine folks answer it for you…
Oh, and those last few tweets reminded me! Some of these assholes don’t just think Bartoli is an ugly woman, possibly a “dyke-y” lesbian. Some are convinced that if a woman doesn’t fit society’s norms of what’s “hot” AND she is good at sports, well, then DUH! she has to be a MAN! And they’re cool with sexually assaulting her to prove it!
Props to the Twitter account @EverydaySexism for pointing out what was going on. Below are some of the tweets they found:
Personally, I like how this dude felt he needed to @ REPLY TO HER, just to make sure she saw this horrible shit.
On the bright side, when asked about BBC commentator John Inverdale remarks on her “never going to be a looker” (yeah that’s right, she received this shit from the BBC too), Bartoli said:
“It doesn’t matter, honestly. I am not blonde, yes. That is a fact. Have I dreamt about having a model contract? No. I’m sorry. But have I dreamed about winning Wimbledon? Absolutely, yes.”
And that’s one of the many actual reasons Marion Bartoli “deserves” to be Wimbledon Champion.

Exactly what you think it is. There’s a bit of Asgore in there too.
This took no less than 11 tracks to mix properly, geez…
