On any given day, people ask my a variety of questions on all sorts of topics. They are either seeking information or curious about my opinion, and I try not to disappoint, as I love to talk and share ideas. I decided to go through my Facebook wall for one day of posts to share […]

NEWS: Mississippi Should Take the Lead from Arkansas on Gay Marriage Equality
Congratulations to Arkansas and to all the LGBT couples who have won an important hurdle in equal rights in regard to marriage equality! Today, Judge Chris Piazza stuck down the state’s 2004 ban on gay marriage. According to Piazza’s ruling, he said: “This is an unconstitutional attempt to narrow the definition of equality. The exclusion […]
NEWS: Another All-Male House Judiciary Subcommittee Wants to Legislate American Uteruses
On Thursday, January 9, 2014, the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice met to gather information on bill H.R. 7, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. The problem with this subcommittee? It is yet another all-male panel set to determine policy that affects women. Another problem with this bill is […]
RADIO: Trish Causey Hosts Pro-Choice Stand With Women CALL-IN Show
Thursday, I had a live call-in show to address the horrific misogyny happening in Texas, North Carolina, and around the country. As the national spotlight shone on Wendy Davis and the women (and men!) of Texas standing up for women’s reproductive rights, other states are systematically legislating our rights away, requiring ultrasounds and other invasive […]
RADIO: Trish Causey Discusses “When Fascism Comes to America…”
“When Fascism comes to America…” Oh, wait. Fascism is already here, and it is alive and well. I will readily admit that doing this show was one of the most exciting interviews I’ve done. I absolutely had a blast — perhaps because I was able to combine my passions of theatre and activism into one […]
RADIO: Trish Causey Chats With Women’s Rights’ Activist Sunny Clifford
Last night’s show was a quick one, but a good one. I talked with women’s reproductive rights activist Sunny Clifford. REPLAY: Trish Causey Chats With Women’s Rights Activist Sunny Clifford Being a Lakota from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Sunny is a staunch advocate for reproductive rights for indigenous women. Though she is […]
RADIO: Trish’s Womanifesto – A Treatise on Being an ArousedWoman
Ever wondered what I mean when I say “ArousedWoman?” Of course, you don’t! YOU actually read my blog! YOU actually communicate with me on Twitter or Facebook. Sadly, many people judge my book by its Jessica Rabbit cover and move on…. sniff…. (that was a joke, people… seriously!) Well, not any more! I posted the […]
NEWS: New Mexico Takes #GOP’s Stupid Pills to Usurp Rape Victims’ Reproductive Rights
As if the NEWS in 2012 were not horrible enough in the GOP’s effort to completely thwart women’s bodily autonomy, New Mexico legislators are bringing the GOP’s misogynist KoolAid to the forefront in 2013. State Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R) (<– of course!) introduced New Mexico House Bill 206 that would require law enforcement to charge […]
OpEd: Wounded Knee 1890 – U.S. Still Wages #WarOnWomen
December 29th is a day of mourning for all American Indian tribes and should be a day of disgrace for the United States. On December 29, 1890, the 7th Cavalry sought revenge for Custer’s loss at the Little Big Horn by attacking Chief Big Foot’s band with rapid-fire Hotchkiss guns and mounted soldiers thirsty for […]
Anatomy: Female Ejaculation and Woman’s Ability to Conceive
I came across a great site about yoni and all things Tantric for women and emotionally secure men. The blog is by a Tantrika/Dakini who is the “real deal,” not one of the so-called “urban tantra” bullshit artists. However, the following comment one man left on her blog shows just how little is still known […]
Comments 08-19-12: Support from Friends after ‘Milk Your Rape’ Tweet Attack
I know most of my readers check out my blog for sex tips, so I won’t drag this out. It is a sad reality, though, that the uncomfortable topic of rape doesn’t come up often enough in our culture’s national dialogue. If it did, maybe there would be less rape in the world. Anyhoo… This […]
NEWS: Rep. Todd Akin Defines ‘Legitimate Rape’ for All of Us Pretend Rape Victims
Just when you think the Grand Ol’ Party can’t sink any lower in its blatant misogyny of women, women’s rights, and their outlook on women’s bodies, Rep. Todd Akin reveals a whole new abyss of as yet unexplored hatred of the female sex. It wasn’t long ago that men were the only ones on the […]
MyTweet & Comments 08-15-12: Freethinking Utopia & the 2012 Election
As the negativity on Twitter has compelled me to lay low on the social networking site, I did pop in to update my tweeps on AW’s growing stats and readership (<– shameless plug!). And of course, I like to chat with my like-minded free-thinkers. Without waxing too poetic, I’m finding the negativity of politics too […]
MyTweets & Comments 08-10-12: My Stance as a Humanist Not a Feminist
Feminism is a hotly-debated topic in America and other narrow-minded, backwards, patriarchal areas of the world. As a woman who is a humanist, I often have to deal with the backlash from other women who think I’m a traitor to “the cause.” I will write a longer piece detailing my why’s and wherefore’s of being […]
NEWS: What If Men’s Reproductive Rights Got Snipped?
With all the vaginal hooplah in Michigan over a proposed bill that limits reproductive rights for women, mainstream media did not make as big a fuss over men’s reproductive rights being put on the chopping block. Michigan state legislator Barbara Byrum had proposed an amendment to the same House bill that would severely hinder a […]
