Why Obama, Volume One: 10,000-year war "fine" by McCain
I think that Americans are best represented by Obama for several reasons: 1. He does not support a continuation of the foreign policy that created the War Against Afghanistan or the War Against Iraq. 2. He does not, as McCain does, state that the military should be making foreign policy decisions and suggest that it [...]

Civil Rights, Lite! And Free Rice for Vocabulary!
Ok, so I know that this is discombobulated. I mostly just really like this cartoon. And there’s also this website where you can play a word game and send rice to starving people. It’s the perfect no-guilt procrastination device for those of us who are not on the Atkins diet. Speaking of which, Atkins is [...]

Showdown: Chauvinist Humor vs. Racist Rhetoric
There’s some need for discussion about this feminism thing. I mean, contrary to popular belief, feminists don’t necessarily hate all men – or love all women, and equally importantly, feminists have a sense of humor. I mean, as matsu’s blog at MediaGirl (hat tip for the image) points out, “Make a racist joke to a [...]

We're Not Taking This Sitting Down: The Standing Committee on the Status of Women
Okay, okay, I’m not Canadian, and at this rate, I probably won’t be. But Canada is at a commendable stage of self-examination right now: a stage that the U.S. is actually still in. Oh, okay, you’re saying, Marinara over there is hitting the sauce a little too hard for a Sunday morning in Buenos Aires. [...]

I’m Not a Manhater; I Just Dream a Lot
I recently conducted a series of interviews for a sociology project here at my college. I surveyed my female peers’ ideas about their perceptions of the likelihood of rape, and, as an afterthought, their views on feminism. Over and over, I heard, “Well, I think of myself as a feminist in the sense that I [...]
