Our time together has come to an end


Just like Carrie, I do my hair and make-up before I even think of sitting down to write.
Thanks, y’all, for having me guest blog for this week! The timing couldn’t have been better, since my usual site, Pandagon is down to be moved and retooled. I have a huge backlog of stories to write about, but most of them are hugely depressing, and hey, it’s Saturday. Instead, I’ll turn your attention to this goofy story on blogs and dating that I got from Steve Gilliard.
As people put more details of their lives online, they’re also finding love – or at least a little lovin’.
“Blog hookups” are becoming more common as ...

High school girls refuse to hate themselves–society as we know it falls apart


Minnesota high school students Carrie Rethlefsen and Emily Nixon loved “The Vagina Monologues” (who doesn’t?) and, inspired by the play, decided to spread a little love for the multi-talented organ at their high school. Naturally, this display of female pride upset the powers that be.
Despite the threats of serious punishment, Rethlefsen has continued to wear her button to raise awareness about women’s issues. As a show of support, more than 100 students have ordered T-shirts bearing “I (heart) My Vagina” for girls and “I Support Your Vagina” for boys.
Good for them–I’m happy to see this sort of outpouring of support for these girls and their cause. With all the paranoia over teenage sexuality, it’s ...

The Rocket Club Meets Emancipated Wild Women

Check out this article from The Scotsman on a strip club owner in the UK who had to discontinue performances by his male strippers because of the “screaming banshees” that have been apparently making too much of a scene. He blames this “inappropriate” behavior on emancipation. Awesome.
Allan Santori, owner of the Rocket Club in Birmingham, actually had to hire extra security for his Saturday night show when men usually dance for women.
“These young women do not know how to behave and they are very vocal. They are completely disrespectful. I think the guys are intimidated.”
I actually begin to feel sort of bad for this guy and his strippers. He even claims that his male guests ...

Help is on the way!


Can I get that in the full-sized model?
Being conservative ruining your dating life? Do women walk out in the middle of dinner dates when you tell them you voted for Bush? How many times have those pants been pulled up in a hurry after you huskily whispered, “No woman is gonna abort a baby of mine”? Do you find yourself telling people that you’re a virgin due to “moral values” rather than admit the shameful truth–that no woman will touch you after you waxed poetic about how her smaller paycheck was more womanly? Fret no more, my sexist friends! Help is on the way!

Anti-Feminist Pulls White Glove And Hood Out Of Own Ass


You will absolutely flip when you read the most recent load o’ crap in Men’s News Daily on feminism. Even the title — “Feminism, the WKKK, and the Gender-Lynching of Michael Jackson” — exhibits just how ridiculous this shit is.
In the article, David Usher claims that “Feminism as we know it is the direct ideological and political descendant of the Women’s Ku Klux Klan (WKKK).” When I read this, I didn’t know whether I should burst out in laughter or throw my laptop across the room. He continues with a long list of “connections” between the WKKK and the feminist movement, and claims that feminists left the KKK, simply omitted the word “black” from its ideology ...

Report comes out detailing abuse of female detainees in Iraq

An article on the GNN tells us…One female detainee, who identified herself as “Noor”, said that U.S. soldiers at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib raped women and, in many occasions, forced them to strip naked in public. She also said that many female detainees got pregnant.
The classified investigation launched by the U.S. army, led by Major General Antonio Taguba, confirmed Noor’s account and said that U.S. guards sexually abused female detainees at Abu Ghraib.
According to Taguba’s report, the 1,800 abuse photographs shot by U.S. guards inside Abu Ghraib included images of naked male and female prisoners, a male Military Police guard “having sex” with a female detainee, and naked male and female detainees forcibly arranged in various sexually explicit ...

South Carolina protects cocks, not women

The South Carolina House Judiciary Committee decided yesterday to protect gamecocks, but not domestic violence victims.
The Republican-controlled committee voted to make cockfighting a felony, but tabled a bill that would have done the same for domestic violence.
Let’s look to State Rep. John Graham Altman, of Charleston, to illuminate this issue.
On protecting cocks: “I was all for that. Cockfighting reminds me of the Roman circus, coliseum.”
On protecting women: “I think this bill is probably drafted out of an abundance of ignorance… The woman ought not to be around the man. I mean you women want it one way and not another.”
Altman’s offensive comments don’t stop there.
Prior to the committee’s vote, both cockfighting ...

Ah, so that explains it


We have more fun when the boys aren’t around.
The new Pope Benedict XVI, formerly Cardinal Ratzinger, is known for having quite a few very conservative opinions, not the least of which are his backwards opinions on women’s roles. The new pope supports the belief that a woman’s place in in the home, a stance that has always puzzled me. What do a bunch of celibate cardinals care if women have jobs? Do they stand against women’s rights out of some sort of misguided male solidarity? A small detail in this story about the new pope cleared up some of these questions for me:
After the traditional burning of ballots and the pope’s triumphant balcony ...
