Whenever there is ridiculous drama in the world, it can be exciting to see when people come together and respond.
We all know about the CBS/Tim Tebow/Super Bowl drama. Here are two of my favorite video responses.
First, the fantastic South Florida Raging Grannies.
I can only hope that I ever become this cool.
Next, Planned Parenthood worked with former professional football player Sean James and Olympic gold medal winner Al Joyner to produce this piece about respecting a woman’s decision over her body.
Okay I admit it. With this one I teared up a bit.
It’s incredibly refreshing to see men in our movement and especially men that don’t do this work every day. To be successful, we must be sure to welcome people of all backgrounds into our work.
Now some might be wondering why the pro-choice movement doesn’t buy ad time during the Super Bowl and air this piece. It is a great message that needs to be spread far and wide. However, in this economic crisis where family planning clinics are closing and demand for services are increasing, I think it would be irresponsible to spend almost $3 million dollars on an ad during an event where commercials with frogs burping “Bud,” “Wise,” and “Er’ reign.
Instead, I challenge those who believe in a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body, heath and wellbeing to share this video with friends (Facebook included), family and Twitter followers so we can have the same impact but still use our resources to make family planning services available to women who otherwise would not have access to them.

I agree, while it is not unusual for men to feel this way, it is unusual for men to come out publicly to say it! Thanks to Al Joyner and Sean James for being outspoken feminists and having courage, strength, and respect/love for the women in their life!
