Sigh. It’s so hard having a dick.
In case you were unaware, one of the things that I am good at is mocking people who seem to believe in the universal male or female experience. The purpose of such articles are usually to get laughter that sympathizes with whatever gender truths that we experience that moment. It’s so universal, either it is [...]

Gawker has the list. Sadly, my apartment does not match up — I don’t have stacks of magazines or Nair or self-help books or stuffed animals or cat hair. In fact, the only things on the list that can be found in my apartment are scented candles and “anything pink” — but that’s only because [...]

The new spam filter is still setting itself up, which means that lots and lots of comments are going to go into moderation. I’ll clear them as often as I can, but please be patient.

I have recently learned of the term “Moo” used to describe women with children (and I think we all remember that 600-comment-long monstrosity of a thread). I have decided to emulate gangster rappers everywhere and embrace the pejorative. I am the Moo of your worst nightmares! Watch as I force innocent strangers to view photos [...]

Liberated.
via Norbizness, we learn that the number of Iraqi refugees in the United States is very, very low. Thank goodness we exported democracy and freedom so that they can safely stay in their home country! From an article Norbizness found: The United Nations estimates that some 750,000 Iraqi refugees have fled to Jordan, while some [...]

According to the LA Times, Democrats are adopting language and policy goals that reflect “conservative” views of abortion. Which is true, to a point — but more accurately, they’re promoting policies that make it easier for women to make the right choice for themselves. In other words, they’re promoting pro-choice policies: The Reducing the Need [...]

Shocker. Aquafina also tastes disgusting, in my personal opinion. Really, if you like your water purified, get a Brita or a filter and re-use your water bottles. There is no need to muck up the environment with millions of used plastic bottles.

Spiderman *hearts* family planning. The comic is from the 1970s, so the information is a little outdated, but it’s… something. Thanks to Norbizness and Trina for the link.

A group of pharmacists from my home state are suing because Washington law requires them to do their jobs. Their beef is with (surprise surprise) having to dispense emergency contraception. I’m very sympathetic to the argument that there has to be a balance between job requirements and respecting individual religious and moral beliefs. But I’m [...]

Or so says anti-choice politician and GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Sounds promising, right? After all, most other anti-choice politicians really only seem to care about “life” up until the point of birth, and then they’re perfectly happy cutting social service programs, poverty relief programs, educational programs, health care programs, and other things that make [...]

Miriam Makeba singing on Brazilian TV in the sixties. Is it wrong of me to want this dress? This is pretty good too. (The song and the dress.) It’s The Click Song, though it’s actually called Qongqothwane. I kind of wish I spoke Xhosa.
