Morning Bitch readers! Here’s some news to start of your day.

- According to this article in The Atlantic, not only is racial profiling a danger to a person's legal rights, but it’s a danger to their health. [The Atlantic]
- Thanks to sexism, JT gets it easy. But if he were a woman, the media would probably treat him like a social pariah. [Vulture]
- It looks like the White House might finally be taking the statistics on domestic violence seriously.[Whitehouse.gov]
- Check out this project to bring dozens of African women writers to meet in Ghana. [Ms. Magazine]

about that pope
Yup, they couldn't just go for your typical Latin American liberation-theology-espousing-social-justice-seeking Jesuit. No. They just had to elect the cardinal that was chummy with the Argentinian dictatorship in the 70s, someone who accused two priests of being leftists so that the military junta could send their goons to kidnap, torture and disappear them.
