In Which We Change It Up: Movements for Social Change

They’re committed to demonstrating that corporations’ dignity is not as important as human dignity. So is Reverend Billy and the Church of Life After Shopping, who are concerned with helping [...]

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 [...]

I'll Be Postfeminist in the Postpatriarchy: A Bumper Sticker Dissection
I was recently driving around my city (and by recently, i mean two weeks ago, since I’m currently stationed in Colombia, South America, in a city that’s anything but my own) and I saw one of those cars plastered with bumper stickers- coexist, hug a tree, my other car is a broomstick, that sort of [...]

Newsflash: Ignorance is Not Bliss! (Abstinence and Why It Sucks)
The BBC reported in August that abstinence-only sex education programs are not working in the United States. Shockingly, studies found that avoiding education about sex does not reduce risks of teen pregnancy or slow the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. It turns out that sex is so good that even pretending it doesn’t exist does [...]
