lefthandedpenguin commented on the blog post Marissa Mayer doesn’t particularly care for feminism 10 months, 1 week ago · View
I think this post is surprisingly and weirdly sexist. There’s no appreciation for the discrimination faced in the tech industry. I’m the only woman at the small tech company I work at, and talking about feminism and more opportunities for women in my field never helps you. Often it makes your co-workers think you’re just [...]

I’m kind of failing to see what this has to do with rape or sexual assault. Since when does using the words ‘no’ and ‘yes’ in the same sentence mean we’re talking about rape?

White lettering on a light-blue background with a comic sans lookalike font? She needs a graphic design class too.

I know, I know, we’re over the Miss California shit. But I watched The Daily Show from two days ago, and Jon Stewart got me going again . (I don’t own a television so when I watched this episode on Hulu, it was the first time I’d seen Carrie Prejean on TV.) So I’ll make this short. Is there [...]

lefthandedpenguin wrote a new blog post: Sick of having a visible vagina? 4 years ago · View
Look no further. This fucking floors me. I don’t get how anyone could come to even think of this. Seriously? First off, I am getting sick of beauty myths spreading all over my vagina. My vag is fuckin’ gorgeous, and I don’t need a camel-toe-fixing hunk of plastic, waxing, or hymen replacement to feel that way. Second off, [...]

Just in time for the Friday-Feminist-Fuck-You, I found out, via Margaret Cho’s myspace, that she had recently done an episode for the show "The Doctors," a CBS show that is, not surprisingly, produced by Dr. Phil and his son. The episode that she did was all about the lovely little reproductive organ, the vagina. Unfortunately, this clip [...]

lefthandedpenguin wrote a new blog post: Sex and the City: Pro or anti-feminism? 4 years, 3 months ago · View
Yesterday, I watched Sex and the City for the first time, under the influence of a few dorm-mates (yes, I do live under a rock.) While I was expecting it to be a half-hour of anti-feministic sexist stereotypes, it wasn’t. The show does portray the women as fashion-obsessed ‘uptown girls,’ but besides that, they’re not gold-diggers (they [...]

Through a really, really vague connection, I’m friends with an MTV cameraperson on facebook. (I had a friend who was on an MTV reality show episode; but I won’t divulge.) I usually never think twice about MTV, until I got a request to join this facebook group , which is about a casting call for a new [...]

If the video doesn’t work, sorry. Just got a mac and unsure of how certain things work still. Here’s the link. Anyway, if any of you don’t know MST3K (which you really should), it’s about a guy and some robots who make fun of B-movies and some shorts, such as this one. This particular short [...]

Ever wanted to know how models actually look?
This website is a huge reality slap about the unfair standards of women’s beauty. Not to mention this guy’s slogan is " Nature gives us beauty – Artists enhance it". What a creeper; I think he’s actually proud of his so-call ‘art.’ -

I’m a gigantic fan of the Dresden Dolls, and when its lead singer, Amanda Palmer, released her solo album in September, I was floored. It’s beyond fantastic, and the videos she’s made from it so far, including her ironically dedicated-to-Sarah-Palin video for "Oasis" , have been beyond fantastic. Today, she put up her new video for "Leeds [...]
