Muslim Community Liaison Resigns Over Alleged Ties to the Muslim Community
Recently I was listening to this episode of This American Life (Act Two, to be precise) and realized that the American Muslim community is experiencing a frightening witch hunt. In short, Masan Azbahi was an Obama campaign liaison to Chicago’s Muslim community until he was accused of being a terrorist. Why? Because he had once [...]

"War Has Got to Be A Last Option . . . I Believe that America Has to Exercise All Options"
Right. Buckle up, because we’re about to jump on the Hate-on-Palin bandwagon. Firstly, when a vice-presidential candidate evokes bitter articles from people from her own home state, political party, political faction, and gender, who used to consider her a close friend, that’s a bad sign. Secondly, when a vice-presidential candidate stalls her way through two [...]

Sex Is Fun: the Twin Problems of Ignorance and Boom
I’m writing this post with this header image in the hopes that it will not appear to be an advertisement for sex. This is not usually a problem I have; most of the things that I blog about are not nearly this much fun. That’s why I am boldly persevering, despite it all. Being a [...]

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 [...]

I Ain't No Hollaback Girl . . . & God is Brazilian.
Ok, I know that Gwen Stefani is not everyone’s role model, but she is mine right now, because I ain’t no hollaback girl. Right now, I’m in Rio de Janeiro, conducting thesis research, and there’s so much to see, do, and understand beyond the issue of the postcards with pictures of girls’ butts on them. Same [...]

Our Masculine Systems: Women's Inequality Under the U.S. Constitution
Back in the day, in 1776, when our Founding Father and future second president John Quincy Adams was helping to draft the constitution, his wife, (Founding Mother?), Abigail Adams, asked him to “Remember the ladies” in that august document. He replied, in a letter, “Depend upon it, We know better than to repeal our Masculine [...]

When The Personal Was Revolutionary, 0r He's Not My Precedent
Doris Lessing won the Nobel Prize for Liturature. You’re saying, duh, this is not news. And so is she. According to Pheobe Connelly the American Prospect, after being informed that she had won the prize, Lessing shrugged and said, “”Oh Christ. It’s been going on now for 30 years; one can’t get more excited than [...]
