(This was supposed to be posted on April 28th, but between the evil wasp that decided to randomly take out it’s fury upon me, and my perfectionist tendencies, it’s been slightly altered and is being posted now.) Disclaimer: This post contains logic. It also contains sarcasm. It is very, very long. I have much to say. Consider yourself warned. Most of this post is inspired...

Bitches Be Crazy: Patriarchy in Less Obvious Vocabulary Words
“My crazy sister thought she could get away with it.” “That crazy bitch wanted a raise.” “My crazy ex-girlfriend took the cat with her.” Similar statements can be heard from a multitude of wronged, angry men. It’s her fault, many of them say. She’s crazy.
What’s wrong with being crazy? The most brilliant minds in all time were and are...

Hi, I should’ve written this, like, two months ago, but seeing as it’s National Masturbation Month, I find this appropriate.
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a little sad that people still need seminars such as Orchestrating Orgasms. Not that it’s not a wonderful program—it is—but I think the fact that the seminar mostly concentrated on female...

I saw The Business of Being Born with my sister on campus. Before I viewed this documentary, it had never occurred to me how political and oftentimes disrespectful hospitals can be towards women in labor. They often disregard a woman’s wishes about her own body. This is because hospitals have a system. And once you are swept up in that system, which is designed in the hospital’s best...

Let me first say: vaginal molding is not as easy as you might think.
It’s a powder mold, mixed with warm water. This mixture resembles the chunks blown after a particularly raucous party.
This mixture is then smeared all over the labia. It gets everywhere. It hardens (more like gels) and it is peeled off. Voila, an inverted vagina.
Then plaster gets involved. I also got free...

First of all, DISCLAIMER:
I grew up in the church. I have studied the Bible. I believe Jesus Christ died for my sins. I believe in God the Father. I also believe a bunch of old men have interpreted the Bible incorrectly, and that there is nothing wrong with being who you are. I do not consider myself a Christian. I do not belong to a church. I am bisexual. I am a feminist. And I believe men and women should be equal in...

“…One-half of the moral and intellectual power of the world is excluded from any voice or vote in civil government. In this denial of the right to participate in government, not merely the degradation of of women and the perpetuation of a great injustice happens, but the maiming and repudiation of one-half of the moral and intellectual power of the government of the world”...

I would like to introduce this ebook to you all:
http://books.google.com/books?id=NyicMIxzkUwC&pg=PA29&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=0_0#v=onepage&q&f=false
It’s only a preview, but you can view enough of it. It’s pretty amazing. It includes a quote about a man talking to his buddies—and his buddies say, hey, listen, your girl might not be labeled as a prostitute,...

Rape at BU
eaneitilt:
Recently, Boston University has been the location of two incidents of sexual assault on campus. Both incidents involved players on the varsity hockey team; you can read about the incidents here:

“When, however, we ask why the existence of one-half of the species should be merely ancillary to that of the other—why each woman should be a mere appendage to a man, allowed to have no interests of her own, that there may be nothing to compete in her mind with his interests and his pleasure; the only reason which can be given is that men like it. It is agreeable to them that men...

“When used by a man to refer to himself it is a “male appropriation of language no less stupidly defensive than a white man imagining himself to be a black radical.” Profeminist is a term used to describe the male who works towards feminist goals.” (Irving Weinman 1983, 133-134)
Feminism is a concept that includes working towards a goal. It is a concept that includes...

If you want my actual blog (God help you), you can...
