Fly Sex… and I was a Twentysomething Feminist
Another reason (here‘s the first) that I quit the biology major came from a lovely misogynist Professor of Biology. This man is not misguided; he is mistaken.

I did this after I had long ceased taking classes in the biology department that were required for the major and didn’t pique my interest. I didn’t think of myself as a non-Bio major, but I didn’t think of myself as a non-non [...]

Militant Israeli Pimps & Women as Aggressors
Thanks to Feministing for alerting me to this alarming new campaign- jointly launched by Israel and Maxim- to promote “Women of the Israeli Defense Forces” as objects. According to the BBC, “The pictures are part of a public relations drive to improve the image of the country within the US. Maxim said it was [...]
