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 [...]

A Mile In Her Shoes: Men Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk
Hat tip to Bust for their coverage of this well-heeled event in their August/September issue: there’s a a new annual parage of feminist men who strut their stuff and walk the walk, literally. The “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” which bills itself as an “International Men’s March Against Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence” [...]

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 [...]

Um, Cum Again? I'm a Frayed Knot: Polyhedral Shapes in Sex
I’m still in the process of cleaning out my room after college. Bear with me — I know I graduated (ahem) more than two weeks ago, but I also am doing a deeper cleaning than I’ve done in my room since, well, I was about eight, apparently. I recently came across a Valentine that local [...]

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 [...]

Male Answer Syndrome & Homeland Insecurity: Smells Like Bullshit
In high school, I was once asked to read this article about Male Answer Syndrome. Here’s an excerpt I just found online: It is called `Male Answer Syndrome: Why Men always have opinions, even on subjects they know nothing about’ — by Jane Campbell (from Utne Reader, Jan/Feb 1992) “In the animal kingdom, males exhibit [...]
