On Choosing Who Gets to Be Free: Feminism vs. Racism
Recently my girl Ashley pointed me to a post at Jack and Jill Politics. In my browsing there, I came upon yesterday’s post, “The Field Negro Smacks Down Shelby Steele’s Self-Hating BS.” While the post makes important points about the natural alignment of the black power movement and liberal politics’ focus on the government’s commitment [...]

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime: Economics of Gender Inequality, Part 3
III. The Myth of the Broken Glass Ceiling in the Sciences In 2005, Larry Summers suggested that women might not enter scientific fields as often as men because of “innate differences,” according to this article from the Boston Globe. This infuriated the female scientific community, because scientific studies indicate that women don’t enter male-dominated fields [...]

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime: Notes on Gender Inequality, Part 1
The New York Times recently published an item about economic gender inequality that’s quite appalling. The report states that “nearly every occupation has the gap — the seemingly unbridgeable chasm between the size of the paycheck brought home by a woman and the larger one earned by a man doing the same job.” It continues, [...]

Geek Chic: One Time for Your Mind
Geek chic is in. Even the New York Times knows it. While in previous years that would mean that it’s already passé, Obama has ushered in a celebration of the passé – both a revival of the cult of the individual and a trumph of sincerity. I know that it’s odd to label the onset [...]

It continues, “her family could not afford to send her to college; her older brother had to drop out for financial reasons.

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 [...]

Kremlin Outlaws Emo Styling, Behaviors Starting 2009
Hat tip to Sabotabby of Punkassblog for the scoop on this one: the Russian Government has released a statement officially limiting children’s toys that are “psychologically incongruous” (thus, threatening irony in the next generation of Russian childhoods) and stating that, as Sabotabby has it, “Apparently, the Russian government feels it necessary to fight the growing [...]
