Show us the book you're reading right now. Submitted by Strive2Be. Though mine is a used first edition (published when I was 5) with a sort of ugly cover. From Amazon: Dworkin argues that in a society where men oppress women, they will use sex for that purpose as well, and that men's sexual dominion...
From the last post, and resulting comments, I realize that there might be some misconception about me. I'm not a feminist. Now, you might imagine that I'm some kind of Gynophobe, who can't stand strong women.Nope. Far from it, I like strong people of whichever stripe. I might define "strong"...
Now that I’m back in America and generally readjusted to my surroundings I think it’s time for me to find a voice. In my daily life my voice cusses a lot, commits numerous grammatical errors, and makes lots of nonsense noises. Hope that what I write here isn’t nonsense, but if it is I’d...

I've been keeping a juicy, titillating secret from you the past six months. Her name is BitchBuzz, and she is going to be your new favorite website. Trust me. BitchBuzz is written by myself and a group of passionate, feisty writers that are fed up with blogs and magazines for women that promise to...
Be forewarned; I'm about to go on a mini-tirade, but please bear with me, because I think you'll be on board. I'm going to smack the next person who smirks, "Are you having twins???" at me. How can women, and ONLY WOMEN have asked me that, be so rude? Besides pointing out that I'm obviously very...
A couple of days ago, I blogged about Kyle Payne and male feminists. One of my main points was that, by poking around and reading some of Payne's writing, I felt that it was not surprising that someone who wrote that way would turn out to be an abusive individual. When someone becomes an ally of a...
I suppose that most people who are feminists don't identify as such, since the word "feminist" is synonymous with "ugly, hair-legged, bitter, humorless lesbian" in popular culture. However, I think the majority of Americans are feminist at some level -- fewer and fewer people would argue that women...
Currently, I'm sitting smugly in my office and pumping my fist in the air because FINALLY it would appear that the world and the rest of the *feminist* blogosphere are finally waking up to the fact that Jezebel is run by a bunch of fucking morons. I've disliked them for a long time for various...
I've documented my issues with Jezebel in the past, at some length and with a great deal of spastic vitriol if memory serves. I want to take this opportunity and provide this link to say: Jezebel, I am so glad I had already stopped taking you seriously, because otherwise I think this would have...
This has been on my mind a lot lately, and I think I just need to get it out there and vent a little. How can a woman in our current times, with the exception of those chained into oppressive religious viewpoints, profess to not be a feminist? I find it ridiculous that any woman, or man for that...
So here's what bothers me about this whole Jezebel kerfuffle. Jezebel and Deadspin are the only two Gawker Media sites I read right now, and although they're not the two highest trafficked Gawker blogs, it does seem like they're generally speaking the two who get into the most trouble. (Gawker...
WOW! It's been a while since I last posted. This is mostly due to the fact that I've been doing nothing but updating my Twitter and wanking all day because isn't that what people who work from home, like, do and stuff? LOLZ. Just kidding. How could I possibly be on Twitter all day when this happens...
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, a woman named Lisa discovered that her 20+ years of media experience were, paradoxically, holding her back. Finally, her husband explained to her that it was because having 20+ years of experience is generally associated with people over the age of 40. Ageism...
I lurve this "Target: Women" series where Sarah Haskins takes on ridiculous things in our society targeted at women. In this episode, it's Botox's turn.
What I've learned by sporadically watching X-Files reruns: Not much. Mulder is quick to jump to a supernatural conclusion while Scully is much smarter. When making a voodoo doll of a woman, it is important to make sure it has a skirt on or The Force will be confused. The truth is out there,...
I’m a bit disturbed by the views some feminists are taking to Hillary conceding. I just read an article where Koryne Horbel, the founder of the DFL Feminist Caucus started passing around a petition to women for them to pledge to write in Hillary’s name come November instead of voting for Obama....
Today, I am proud to be a democrat. I am proud to be a woman. I am proud to be watching history in the making. I sat here and watched Hillary’s concession speech on CNN and I felt proud because for the first time in the history of the United States we had the decision to either elect a woman or a...
In college, I knew some ladies who wore these shirts. I never did, probably fearing that by aligning myself with this ideology, I'd be held accountable by everyone for engaging in completely accurate and effective discourse about it. That and I've never been much for T-shirts with words on them....
