So I recently read an article about why Indonesia has a tough time recruiting women for their military. It’s because of a MANDATORY TWO-FINGER VAGINA EXAMINATION TO CHECK IF ONE’S HYMEN IS INTACT (hey guess what, hymens can break w/o sex).
We’re better than this, America.
There is, of course, no equivalent test for male recruits. bbc.com/news/world-asi…
And, I mean, what woman/girl doesn’t want to subject herself to a medically unnecessary, politically or otherwise motivated intravaginal exam!?!?!?
In some states, we call medically unnecessary vaginal exams what they are: sexual assault. vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019…

Who wore it best?
Also, Fox News on Youtube is trying to tell me my vagina smells bad, and armpit-sniffing is a thing.
thanks but no thanks, my vag does not need deodorant, and i'm not here to kink-shame, but if a stranger sniffed my pit like this on the subway, i'd knee him in the balls.
PS Hannity gets the golden rule treatment from me.
if i wore a toupee that bad, i would want to be compared to davey crockett.
Also, he tortured Seth Rich's family for **months and months** so a light roasting = permissible, in my justice universe.

Fascinating and important piece by @krithikaltheory in @foreignpolicy on the role of Islam in #Indonesia's presidential election

Includes some of my thoughts: foreignpolicy.com/2019/04/17/isl…
"The two made an odd pair on the campaign trail, a metalhead and former furniture salesman paired with a 76-year-old cleric. Last weekend, Jokowi held an enormous campaign rally in South Jakarta that was more like a rock concert, which concluded with a stadium-wide mass prayer"
As I note here, democratization and Islamization tend to go hand in hand in the Middle East as well as Southeast Asia, and #Indonesia is an example of how it can play out: foreignpolicy.com/2019/04/17/isl…

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:
