Rose and Camellia

Deceased Crab takes you on a tour of the rather fun Rose and Camellia. He is far better than me. I'm not even going to start on the gender stereotypes in this one. If you're a glutton for punishment, and Japanese literate, Rose and Camellia 2 is available, which bested Deceased Crab himself. Do you...

Gender Role-Playing Games

Today, The Sunday Times News Review ran an excerpt from "Save The Males: Why Men Matter and Why Women Should Care" by Kathleen Parker. The thrust of the argument was that the male gender had been so re-soundly defeated by feminism that men the world over have to suffer media stereotypes of the...

more summer partying

This past weekend I biked over to La Fete de Marquette, an east side Madison neighborhood party. Actually, I was there for two evenings. The first, Saturday, was impressive for it's turnout of the older set. I mean, the average age of the 3000 or so people in attendance was probably 45. If you...

Coming Into Being

When I was more heavily involved in my academic pursuits, I wrote a paper about reproduction and procreation that argued that the facts of life needed to be more thoroughly investigated as our understandings of procreation and reproduction are saturated with cultural meanings including gendered...

My sister has a mutant handbag gene

My sister drove an hour and a half from her home to visit some friends. An hour down the return trip she asked husband to find something in her handbag [she is such a control freak she has to drive even though he is a FAR better driver. He gives in for peace]. He could not find her handbag...

Deeds, not words

The WSPU was founded at the Pankhurst family home in Manchester on 10th October, 1903 by six women, including Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, who soon emerged as the group's leaders. The WSPU had split from the non-militant National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, disappointed at the lack of...

taxi!

I was lying in bed and for heaven knows what reason a Mills and Boon Book I once read many years ago popped into my memory. I forget the name but I remember it was set in the Australian outback, a property miles from anywhere, but every time the heroine needed to get away she would call a taxi and...

a little bit of the past

Daughter 1's first job was as a broadcast journalist on breakfast radio. The position vacant ad requested a recent photo. For radio? She did as requested and after a phone interview got the job! She did note though that for a radio station they did have an uncommonly high number of very attractive...

History... race... gender... just... wow.

You know, now that I'm over the initial w00t, political geek aspect of Obama being called as our Dem nominee, I almost wanna cry over how historic this is. Clearly I'm not black. I can't pretend to understand the race aspect. To look at me I'm about as white as they come. That's not to say race...

Madame Bovary

The fascinating thing about Madame Bovary is, well, Madame Bovary. Is she a sympathetic but flawed character, or is she a cruel and selfish woman? Emma Bovary's main problem is that she believes money will end all her problems. But then most people today hold that same false belief. I think how a...

Victorian Era Secrets: "Rules for My Guidance as a Wife" by Lady Richard Burton

Today's movie was Mountains of the Moon, the somewhat fictionalized tale of the discovery of the source of the Nile by Richard Burton and John Speake. I found it a bit difficult to maintain my interest as I can discover the source of the Nile with Google Earth in the matter of a few keystrokes...

On being Boddhisattva of the gender non-Euclidean

(inspired by Sarah Dopp) If gender hath its own geometry, its Euclidean arc the eye can mark, then the non-Euclidean girl or guy may also some new queer discussion spark. If boddhisattva be what you are called, it's not a label I'd consider dumb for those Nirvana-bound are not at fault for existing...

Bill Murray.... Redux?

I'm not saying we need to believe every word of this, but I am saying it fits neatly into my (long-winded) read on Bill Murray & gender cultural politics. I'm personally inclined to believe his wife, but what do I know?

Girls with slinghots

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...

it's official: I'm not a girl

It's funny how many people have a definite opinion on whether expecting parents should find out the gender of their baby-to-be or have an opinion about what the gender is and have no problems sharing those opinions. When mom was only about six weeks pregnant with me, she had a dream that I was a...
