This is going to be my last look for a while at the decline in rape debate because I’ve researched it quite a bit and frankly, I’m tired of looking at numbers from the various reports. This isn’t to say that I think rape isn’t important but my examining of the rape studies isn’t. I’ve...

I got a comment from Michelley-Shell recently which, in part, reads: "You are very passionate about this topic and I'm left wondering if you've taken some time to consider what could have done instead? What would you plan if you were given a budget and a time-line and asked to raise awareness of...
Recently I took my kids to their very first feis, an Irish dance competition. Irish dance is a sport that has little appeal to feminists. With its thousand dollar dance dresses and almost exclusively female population, on the surface it looks very sexist. I’ve been somewhat disdainful of expensive...

"The point was, it's not the sex part of pornography that hooked the stupid little boy. It was the confidence. THe Courage. The complete lack of shame. The comfort and genuine honesty." "Women don't want equal rights. They have more power being oppressed. They need men to be the vast enemy...

So the fam is back in Bama today. We took Momma and Josh to the airport this morning after eating sausage links and thick waffles at a diner close to the airport. Despite the 40 degree temperatures and rainy, overcast, lame skies, we had a pretty good relaxing time. We shopped, walked, ate out, and...
I've been reading a lot of other people's blogs lately and it is screwing with me. I guess this is one of those situations where my ignorance about the connotations of something (like the word "blog") seems like a blessing. Like how I wore this Elastica t-shirt in 9th and 10th grade that had a jar...
America makes me feel nauseous sometimes. I love to keep up with politics, read blogs and articles. I always love to keep up with the feminists too because sometimes the stuff they bitch about is mostly always hilarious. I recently found this article about Obama and him apparently calling some...
City Livin' vs. Hibernating in a Cave Math considers two distinct approaches to politics: Politics in a Cave and Politics in a City. Which approach do you take? And even more important, which approach has the most promise for a better life for everyone? Is Obama Really Sexist? Depends on who you...
Ever wonder what Hillary Clinton and Eva Peron have in common? Yeah, me neither...until tonight. I was having what I like to call a "spiritual romp," where I dance around my apt like a mad woman in my underwear, without shame or care. It's fabulously freeing, grooving to "Dancing Queen" and singing...
I was browsing the New York Times online today and came across this article about how women with past Caesareans can be denied individual health insurance because the companies don't want to have to pay for another C-section down the road. ......... What? I'm slightly enraged right now. Here's the...
The following two strips of the above webcomic have reminded me of a convo elswhere recently: http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS294.html http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS295.html Don't read if you can't handle reference to rape in any form. Oh, none of this is gross or graphic, just made me think...
More than a few times I've made posts here on Vox and other places where I've criticized a feminist blogger's stance on an 'issue', or made inarticulate comments about it (for jokes, I try not to take everything too seriously). More than a few times I've had to have the same argument justifying why...
Signs of presidential campaign desperation (Hillary crying, of course – but who wouldn’t have expected that?): Mike Huckabee promising to abolish the IRS (how many times have we heard that one - anybody happen to remember who the last one to do that was, hmmmm?). Damn, but these are tiresome...
“In his controversial new book, Nick Davies argues that shadowy intelligence agencies are pumping out black propaganda to manipulate public opinion – and that the media simply swallow it wholesale.” Anybody recognize Operation MOCKINGBIRD? A few years ago, preparing a police science defensive...
Hello blogosphier, To day I am going to tell you of what is, right now, consuming my free thoughts right now; and that is, Making a Documentary on the Feminist movement in the world of today (like that world of today stuff?). Now right now it is still in the planning process but if you see a guy...
If you could take any class you wanted for one semester, what would you study? There are so, so many courses I wished I could have taken. During my soon to be over undergraduate career, I took a wide variety of courses from several disciplines. However, the rigid structure of many academic programs...
Game One It's no secret that I love me some football. Love. Love enough that it meant that I dragged my ass out of a deliciously warm bed that I shared with a deliciously warm woman at seven fucking thirty this morning so that I could grab coffee before catching the bus to Invesco Field. Kickoff was...
