That's What My Daddy's Made Me: Simian Mobile Disco's "Hustler" Videos
I’ve been listening to the London-based Simian Mobile Disco, a music production team who call themselves “Electro/ Psychadelic/ Alternative” on their Myspace page. They are composed of two guys named James (foreground, left) and claim to sound like “good, old-fashioned, analogue party music” (as their wacky Brit-ball spelling has it). Specifically, I’ve been listening to [...]

Equality: Not Satanism, Last I Checked
Recently I stumbled upon this website run by that beacon of truth and goodness, the Christian Right. In fine form, they announced at the beginning of the page, “FEMINISM IS EVIL! Beware of the feminists, many are LESBIANS!” Ah, yes, such tolerance and open mindedness is exactly what we have been taught to expect from [...]

'It's Not Rape if She Blinks Twice for Yes' and Other Phallacies of Rape Culture
The New York Times recently reported that yet another rapist is being let off of the hook – as the majority are. Nearly 95% of men standing trial for rape in the United States and the United Kingdom are cleared of all charges, which is a shocking number considering the social, personal and political consequences [...]

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 [...]

Rational Woman/My Philosophy by KRS-ONE: Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody
There’s no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational. -Albert Ellis (Ironic Curtsy: Irrational Woman) In her essay “Sexual Difference and the Problem of Essentialism,” Elizabeth Grosz writes of the problematic implication of “patriarchal frameworks, methods, and presumptions” in contemporary feminist theory and rhetoric.
