One Vagina, Two Vaginae: Red Vagina vs. Blue Vagina.

Well, I have to admit it: I’m kinda angry. Or to put it less originally, MY VAGINA’S ANGRY! “Whoa,” you are saying as you back out of the room, “easy there, cowgirl.” I mean, really, that’s a joke: I feel my anger in my brain — you know, that pea-sized appendage. That’s also where I [...]

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

The “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” which bills itself as an “International Men’s March Against Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence” [...]

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 [...]

The Sexual Paradox: Or, Women are from School, Men are from Work

In this recent article from the New York Times about Susan Pinker’s new book, The Sexual Paradox: Men, Women, and the Real Gender Gap, Emily Bazelon writes, “In her zeal, Pinker veers to the onesided. She doesn’t acknowledge that some of the research cited in her footnotes is either highly questionable as social science (Louise [...]
