Hey guys. Apparently, men need to think they’re going to get some before they’ll step foot in the kitchen. Julie Newmar is still awesome. Wow. I hate to judge people who call themselves feminists. But really? Tell me, Huffington Post: is it women, celebrities, or drunk drivers who are idiots? Thanks for letting me be shameless!
In Denmark some people suggested men ought to complain about how their gender is portrayed in commercials. I take issue with that and go through some of the commercials shown on Danish television in the past year or two, showing just why I think the article was ridiculous.
Crap. My links didn’t work. Here they are. For real this time. Sorry! Apparently, men need to think they’re going to get some before they’ll step foot in the kitchen. Julie Newmar is still awesome. Wow. I hate to judge people who call themselves feminists. But really? Tell me, Huffington Post: is it women, celebrities, or drunk drivers who are idiots?
This isn’t buy me, but it was published by me, and it’s a piece of random goodness I think Feministe readers might appreciate: Soundtrack: An iPod Epic
Not a very feminist post, but I just posted this on mountaintop removal and the war on Appalachia. Also cross posted at my place.
Getting rather tired of certain arguments against Clinton. Even more tired of how free market talk has infected damn near everything, to the point where we advocate “protecting” the disabled from discrimination by refusing to protect them at all. *sigh*
I’m not sure I’ve ever partaken in Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday before, so here goes. 😀 I did of course blog for choice a couple of weeks ago, just after writing about how much anti-choicers confuse me. More recently I wrote about the War On Women and followed up with some frightening statistics on request. 😀
On changing the current curriculum so we don’t need Africentric schools to fill in the gaps. Comments and suggestions are really appreciated on that one. On good sex for teenage girls and women. And, late to the party, a post on Blogging for Choice.
My take on Carey Roberts’ idiocy. Info on the different symptoms of womens’ heart attacks. And Pope Fester Gets A Lightbulb
How exoticism is harming refugees from Burma in Thailand, how I was lucky enough to avoid having my differences pathologized while I was in school, and more on Daughter of the Ring of Fire. Also, the arts/lit journal I edit is new and currently seeking submissions for its Beltane issue.
A friend of mine and I started up a new blog about radical psychology. From our mission statement, our goals: 1) a new approach to psychological issues which forgoes common conventions and draws inspiration from feminism, queer theory, anti-racism, disability rights activists and radical politics, among others 2) critique of psychological institutions and standards such as the DSM, pharmaceutical industries, and academia 3) exploring ways in which psychology can inform political and social action and thought We’re really hoping to build a community, so if you’re interested in issues such as these, please come check us out.

A paleontologist tells junior folks in the discipline to stop fussing that some senior people have ripped off their work. I break his wagon-circling down.
Hi all…I just started a blog I thought I’d share-on feminist pop-culture and media analysis. I’m a grad student in theory and criticism and I teach Women’s studies and I started a blog looking for conversation and dialogue around contemporary issues from a feminist perspective to help me to continue formulate my own ever-evolving feminism and to hopefully provoke new thought among others. http://smart-like-me.blogspot.com/ My recent posts include The Problem with ‘Pussy’ and Gender Stereotypes and Male Feminists Cheers!
My favorite posts of the week: Let me tell you. about how Hillary Clinton was treated at the latest Democratic debate in California. Canadians and Mondays about new multipurpose racial slurs being incorporated into the American English language. Enjoy!
In which am so heartened by the pro-Obama outpouring of civic engagement that I am moved to muse on reason #567,682,497 that I *heart* NY: my neighborhood around election day. It even caused a temporary abatement of the political ranting at Election-Year Weltschmerz. Enjoying everyone else’s self-promotions!
