Here are my favorite posts of the week:
Oh, the hilarity., including the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and Steve Harvey.
Making my life look good., referencing Maury.
“It’s just something I know.” I am so in love with Henry Grubstick.
and finally,
Confirming what we already knew., about the boys of Gossip Girl. Yum.
I wanted to share our blog against sexual violence, Change Happens. We’re Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER), a nonprofit that provides college students with the resources and support to challenge their schools policies, programs, and practices around sexual assault.
Our blog monitors current events related to sexual violence, foregrounds quality media, especially by students, about sexual assault, provides resources for students looking for information about how to combat sexual violence on their campuses, and keeps readers updated on SAFER’s current projects. It is still very much a work in progress, and we’d love your involvement.
Livebloggin’ the Oscars, because I’m bored.
And a little bit of analysis of media coverage of the Presidential campaign: News as Myth.
I’ll be blogging the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women’s 52nd Meeting from New York over the next two weeks! The meeting will be focusing on ‘Financing for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women’! Check it out here: http://www.antigonemagazine.blogspot.com.
I’m so excited to promote this week!
I write a post called “fuck the police” and hold my breath and hope its not too offensive.
Is anyone else disturbed by Kayne West’s new music video?
Awesome guest blogger, Adrienne takes on “pro-lifers” and tries to get them to compromise
I see an advertisement at Express clothing store that pisses me off.
I get pissed at Odd News. Again.
I started a body-positive art blog. 40 people in and counting.
My Mulatto Manifesto…
For those who are interested.
Where are the mudflap boys?
Mars, Venus, Bullshit
A confession, and illustration of how harmful double standards can be.
I take serious issue with some other liberals.
I threw my hat into the ring in the Letter to My Body meme that is flying around.
a little post about how sexual harassment becomes a part of everyday life.
It was Whacked-Out Wednesdays over at Smartpatrol’s pad.
On First Ladies, tea parties, and profanity. (Warning for politics.)
Just cause it goes so well with Jill’s post on masculinity- One of the few benefits of being a girl
A bit of rambling about whether it is any use to talk/argue/discuss with people who will never ever agree with you anyway.
Metro (the newspaper) illustrates an article about women starting their own business with a picture of a mop and a bucket. Grrr….
About that demographic winter in Europe nonsense and “Eurabia”
and a follow up post showing that here in Sweden, people are getting married and having children like never before.
Argh, it be monday!
Anyhow, here is a rant I posted on my comics blog, Prepare for Trouble. It’s on 80s cartoons, their derived toys, and the gendering that went along with them. I touch on the issue of how boys are allowed to look back nostalgically on stuff like Transformers while we’re all supposed to forget the girly, worthless cartoons like Popples and She-Ra.
I also mention that She-Ra had a much more interesting plot than He-Man, and stand by that argument.
I did a column on feminists who piss me off. I know, I know. Cue the rotten tomatoes.
Also, one of the writers I recruited, Tariq, wrote a hilarious essay about being jealous of his wife and their Playstation. I thought it was also poignant because it mentioned stereotypes in regards to female gamers.
Also, and this isn’t self-promotion, but needs to be checked out:
Muslim Hedonist on female circumcision and her daughters.
(I know Jill reads her blog, but I hope that everyone else does too)
There’s been a recent uproar in Australia about a gynacologist mutilating and injuring over 200 women during gynaecological procedures. Not for the squeamish, I swear to god.
A male blogger calls the idea that dads need to step up to their responsibilities in order for women to have a sane balance between work and life “revolutionary.” I take issue with this “discovery.”
A judge released not one, but TWO dangerous sex offenders who went on to offend again.
I also want to expand my blogroll and my regular reading, so leave me a note if you’d like me to link to you.
A few people wrote about privilege this week, and so did i :)
Just a quick post about the bodies we choose. I’m also in the midst of reading Scratch Beginnings, thanks to this post over at Quench. Hopefully I’ll have a review soon.
I take unction at how the right misleads people about the secularist objective to keep religion of of the Public square and make some suggestions for changes in clinical/medical research that would increase confidence in the safety and efficacy of medicines.
I just started a new blog about disability and ableism.
Ralph Nader throws his hat into the ring for president. He is seeking the Green Party nomination and running against former Democrat Cynthia McKinney. Nader ’08 =]
His official announcement for president here
Sadly, I doubt he’ll win. He has too many enemies. =/
I sent yall an email about this one, because I wanted to know if it’s constitutional. Is it? (Zuzu, I somewhere got the impression you were a lawyer–was I tripping?) I’d like to hear a strictly legal discussion over this one.
If they have charged her with homicide, in South Carolina they can technically ask for the death penalty:
Mother of stillborn baby charged with homicide
She had the pre-term baby on a sidewalk.
Maybe it’s because she was an addict, but this story has upset the hell out of me.
Check out my ramblings here: Ranting & Raving

Leave a comment if you stop by, I’d love to hear from you!
Oh, and it is my 33rd birthday tuesday the 26th so it would be great to get a whole avalanche of visitors that day! ;)
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try: on the silliness of Lisa Schiffren’s “Barack Obama’s parents must have been Communists because they were in an interracial marriage” argument.
… that kids can’t fall in love and feel the same: on the teenage boys in love study and the Dutch/American parents and teenage sex study.
On mediation efforts and constitutional obstacles: mostly on Annan’s mediation effort and Kenyan politics, with a little bit of discussion of Uganda thrown in.
I wrote about Cornel West and self-promotion.
My mom is paranoid about a windfall tax threatening her and my dad’s retirement savings: I’m “blegging” you … does anybody know anything about this?
Meanwhile, I’ve yet another post tangential to what appears to be NPR double standards.
I might have some seasonally inappropriate Hanukkah blogging coming soon if I can find that about which I wish to blog online.
After the Oscars, I ranted about Diablo Cody, diamonds and double standards.
A little while ago I posted about the confusingly-not-feminist messages sent by ads for the most-certainly-feminist movie Teeth.
Er, OK. Here’s a profeminist blog about fatherhood: Daddy Dialectic.
I had a feminist-type real-life conversation with a co-worker.
I also ranted a whole lot, but it’s less interesting and more… full of swearing.
While we’re shamelessly self-promoting, I need to interview a Hillary Clinton supporter for my political column HERE. We’ve done Obama, Edwards, Ron Paul and McCain, and I want to get a good Clinton supporter before March 4!
email me at sarah@ohyouprettythings.net if interested. email interviews are fine, as are interviews done over AIM or google chat or whatever.
I had a fairly productive week and weekend. Thinking about two unusual rape cases I wrote a piece on Consent, and later on wrote a post nspired by Debs at The Burning Times about Everyday Oppression.
Another instalment in my ongoing feminist criticism of Song Lyrics followed and yet another reaction to story out of the Middle-East about a woman in dire straits.
And last but not least I saw something Disturbing that I felt an irrepressable need to blog about.
There ya have it.
I’ve been making feminist comics lately.

Something for the book geeks!
I announce tentative good news about finding a new host for the 2008 Take Back the Blog event (I cannot name her yet, but she is awesome and I hope she does agree to host it.)
