Newsflash! The Right Has Discovered Sexism!
What’s this? I’ve heard that the Right has discovered a new kind of discrimination that occurs… wait, wait, this is just coming in… against women, of all people. That’s right, folks, there is some kind of “double standard” being employed, as we speak, that makes women less free than their fellow citizens. But the good [...]

Out of Reach of Children: The Degradation of Women, and Accepting It
So I was talking to my friend about porn the other night. She said that the most successful relationship she ever had was one in which she was “chill” about all of the things that might previously have caused her jealousy: her boyfriend’s tendency to slap her friends’ asses, and his giant porn collection. “I [...]

Rape, Love vs. Sex, and Using Nuns to Sell Beer as Medicine
1) Painful Truth: Rape Theory: Ann K. Ream wrote this article in the Chicago Tribune about the application of the sexual double standard to the Duke rape case. Semantics: A Nebraska Judge bans the word ‘rape’ from his courtroom — oh, it’s that easy to make it go away? Consequences: Oh, and someone start shopping [...]

“Rules are for Public School Bitches” : Paris and Bush
Paris Hilton’s agency just dumped her. Here’s the story, from the Sydney Daily Telegraph- yeah, her humiliation has been plastered all over most of the available surfaces in the English speaking world. Again. Everyone loves to hate Hilton. I guess there was too much drama for the Beverly Hills-based Endeavour talent agency, which has represented [...]

Apologetics: Excuse me, I’m not sorry!
Hat tip to Thinking Girl for leading me to A Cat And Twenty‘s thought-provoking article on the overused apology. Kate D. of ACAT cites example after example of women who were victimized and then apologized. Why do women apologize so much? I’m sorry, I have no idea, so I went to Wikipedia, so I could [...]

Rapist Bags! Hilarious!
As Shakesville puts it, “Note to Timbuk2: If a man “steals” a woman’s virginity, it’s called rape. Even if it is “prom night” or whatevthefuck an underage-looking girl in a tacky party dress is meant to represent.” Ok, so I am thoroughly disappointed in Timbuk2. I really thought they were about something beyond the [...]
