Shameless self-promotion Sunday

By zuzu on 11.18.2007

Sorry about missing this last weekend. I was offline most of the weekend, mostly because my new job entails staring at a computer screen all day and I just didn’t want to see another one for a while.

So. Give us what you got.

    This seems like as good of a place as any to say that I’ve probably put up my last post here until next Thursday — but until then, come check me out over at The Curvature! :)

    Topics of late: Pushing Daisies and Backlash, Dr.Phil on Birth Control, and The Gendercator Controversy.

    I take on Kay Hymowitz and Brad Wilcox over feminism, race, class, and marriage here. Sample paragraph:

    The reason it’s tempting for the prosperous (and more likely, married) middle-classes to suggest that poverty and marriage practices are correlated is that in doing so, we the prosperous get to avoid the unpleasant suggestion that our own racism and our own privilege may be part of the problem. Instead of critiquing a culture that sends staggering numbers of young black men to jail, instead of pushing for sentencing reform, instead of pushing for economic revitalization — things that might raise middle-class taxes — we can lecture the poor about the need to show some self-restraint and get hitched. After all, we’re married and well-off. It’s convenient to assume a causal relationship, especially because it absolves us of the responsibility to change our lifestyle. All we have to do is tell the poor brown folks to be more like us.

    Okay, several people here know that my blog is Property of a Lady. But I’d like to take a moment to shamelessy promote my other blog Basket of Kisses. My sister and I co-blog on the AMC show Mad Men. Come visit.

    If you ever doubted that the pro-life movement thinks of women not so much as people with individual personalities, feelings and responsibilities in life, but more as mindless, thoughtless containers for babies, this little video from InsideCatholic.com ought make it pretty clear.

    I’m originally from Ohio, and I’ve noticed everyone has heard of the Kent State Massacre. Now I live in SC, and I’ve noticed hardly anyone has heard of the Orangeburg Massacre.

    You don’t think the fact that the victims were black students has anything to do with it, do ya?

    Anyway, the governor during the whole sordid event (Robert McNair) has just passed on, and his photo is all over the fucking place. I’ve been pissed about that and decided the young black men’s photos needed to be everywhere, too.

    I can’t enforce that, of course, except on my blog, so …here’s the history lesson. Thank you for the opportunity, Zuzu.

    Something lighthearted for Sunday night: Top 10 Questions You Shouldn’t Ask, such as: Why Don’t You have a Boyfriend? (#2), and “Are you breast feeding?” (#7).

    I don’t specifically say these are questions not to ask “women,” but that’s certainly my experience, and is reflected in the list.

    I’m looking for suggestions for #10!

    Help me out, people!

    Circumscription has some new content up, finally. Sex, robots, and booze, strange political bedfellows, and a little cocktail blogging. Later this week: more food politics and more talking about kinky sex.

    (I’ll be pretty shocked if this one doesn’t end up in the mod queue.)

    Eh. Wrote a post about the whole “yellow fever” deal and why those conversations aggravate me so much. Wrote another post about cultural appropriation.

    If you’re interested (or just for fun) come and visit my blog at angryyoungwoman.blogspot.com. It’s about feminism as it relates to Mormonism and living with a disability–and just life in general.

    The neverending saga of my craptastic new computer and Windows Vista, the insanity-inducing operating system:

    Lost in Translation

    Here’s the problem:

    and

    I’m miserable.

    Ugh. Some of the comments on my recent blog post about a guy who shot cats with a rifle. The commenters are both sexist and speciesist.

    Some good posts from Womenstake.org recently: Darsana Srinivasan on the Colorado amendment to define a “person” as “any human being from the moment of fertilization” and Julia Kaye on Virginia’s decision to cut off state funding for abstinence-only programs.
