And About Time

The California Supreme Court overturned the statutory ban on same-sex marriage. (Large PDF of the opinion here.) The forces of evil will be right back at it, though. Today we party elegantly–tomorrow back in the trenches. Edit: Lynn points out that all three branches of government are in agreement on this. Take that, pseudo-originalist whinebots! [...]

Onslaught

I can teach my daughters about Photoshop, and patriarchy, and that people who tell them “you’d be beautiful if only….” are just trying to get them to fall into line. But is all that going to be as powerful as the onslaught of messages they get from everywhere else? Share and Enjoy:

Wilfully invisible

Thanks to ahunt for pointing me to Gangly Thoughts, and to a post about hitting that Certain Age where the invisible sign around one’s neck that reads ATTENTION ALL MEN: PLEASE COMMENT ON WHETHER YOU FIND ME FUCKABLE starts to get a little faded and weather-worn. Part of me is really enjoying this slide into [...]

Disempowering

I couldn’t bring myself to waste time reading through a “but if I shave my legs are you mean jealous ugly dykes going to take away my feminist membership card?” post, but Mighty Ponygirl has a stronger stomach than I do (and more patience). Bluntly, if you’re wearing Raspberry Shimmer Lipgloss or putting on 5″ [...]

More Context

Dizzy writes an excellent post about dealing with “friends” (sadly, she left out the quotes) who think it’s their job to lecture us girls on how we shouldn’t be all angry and feminist-y, and how mean we are to men, and how if we were really, truly strong women we wouldn’t need all that strident [...]

Higamus, hogamus

While the New York Times patiently (and probably futilely) points out that men’s and women’s reports of their number of sex partners doesn’t match, John Scalzi has a much more elegant explanation. Less amusing is the possibility that women aren’t counting nonconsensual sexual encounters, and men are. But this probably isn’t skewing the numbers to [...]

+3 Nice Hot Cup of STFU

In response to Sanya’s post over at Eating Bees about the whole “lady gamer” thing, you’d expect the usual whiny “waaaa not all men are evil!!!!” it’s-all-about-me denial comments. Less common, but also expected, are the comments that pretend we live in a 1940s movie. You know, the type of movie that people who declare [...]

Living in tedium

(Trial is done for the moment and I’ve been home sick with Lung Horror, so you all finally get a new blog post.) Minor back-and-forth in the feminist blogosphere at the moment about marriage and feminist responses thereto–from people getting shrieky at the revelation that some “traditions” are more than a little sexist, to Jill’s [...]

Best “how to draw comics” article. Ever.

I can’t really explain Your Cousin Vito’s how-do any better than telling you to go look. Somebody needs to print this and staple it to Joe Quesada’s forehead. Share and Enjoy:
