So there’s the WNBA, the WPS, the AVP, and…the Lingerie Football League? This week the Guy’s Guide is beginning a discussion about women’s sports, beginning by asking what the successes and failures of women’s professional sports can tell us about the root nature of women’s sports in general: “What’s the Gameplan for Women’s Sports”. We’d love to hear people’s thoughts on this one!

Day late, more than a few dollars short. Watch this great video about gender that I happened upon. I think it's good stuff. Also, I was supposed to be finishing up a lecture on Anatomy and Physiology of the Female Reproductive Cycle, and I had to post about some "huh?" issues I had to deal with during the preparation. I was very pleased to find one of my embarrassed-to-love-him favorite artists, Normal Rockwell, was actually pretty damn awesome. That's enough for now, but I had more posts last week if you have extra surfing time. So, feel free to poke around after those.

I wrote about sexist writing styles in general and also mentioned the heated debate I had had with the gatekeepers of the Afrikaans language. I'm no longer a centrist; I'm becoming much more liberal. I know this because I did a politial spectrum test in the beginning of this year, and then I did another one a week ago.

I review another Bloody Mary, and Danny wonders if one can be "straight-curious" (similar to "bi-curious").

Christian Right head case Terry Kemple is claiming a Tampa ordinance providing protection for transgender people denies his religious right not to allow transgender people housing and jobs. Kemple sent out a mass email making this dubious claim. I'm asking reader to contact Kemple on Facebook and voice their disapproval.

I wrote about the late writer and actress Cookie Mueller, Feminist Movies, the sad decline in gallery and museum shows for female artists, zines, the new york elections, That’s Gay, and some music videos of gals who rock inspired by the new Runaways movie.

I wrote about the unfortunate tendency of cis* Hollywood actors to be cast as trans characters. It's not acting skill, it's bigotry.

A smattering of feminist reviews: Coco Before Chanel introduces us to the woman Chanel was before revolutionizing women’s fashion and becoming a fashion icon to the rich, famous and not so famous. This beautifully shot film humanizes Chanel and brings her to life by showing that she had insecurities, complexity, and visionary genius as a designer. Poto Mitan: Haitian Women, Pillars of the Global Economy: Marie-Jeanne, one of the women interviewed in the film, explains that while sexism is a factor for some people, her decision to keep her child out of school is purely financial. On a salary of $1.75 a day, she says that she cannot afford the $15 monthly school enrollment fee. The decision is obvious: When the choice is between food and education, the latter loses. Not That Kind of Girl is a revelatory and provocative work, a personal story that goes far beyond the boundaries of autobiography. Witty and deeply introspective,it shines a personal light on evangelism that proves 1960s feminists correct: The personal really is political.
