Some Good Music
Lauren is far more of a good music snob than me (snobby in a good way, I mean), but I thought I’d share some music from Carewe, a pet project by my friend Blair. Check ‘em out.

...read moreVictims’ Advocates “Schooled in Man-Hating”
Sexual assault, sexual harassment and domestic abuse are pervasive problems in the U.S. military. Commendably, the Pentagon is taking action by requesting policy recommendations from Wellesley College’s Centers for Women. The Pentagon awarded the grant earlier this year to come up with ways to implement a central Office of the Victim’s Advocate. It would augment [...]
...read moreA Little Whining
Because I’m in the library (again) with no one to whine to, I’ll whine here. Here’s what’s wrong (or the top 10, at least): 1. Torts final yesterday: Really hard. 2. I’m at the library again, probably for 10 hours or so. Again. I hate the library. And yet I can’t focus anywhere else. 3. [...]
...read moreOn Helping Women
The Raving Atheist, with a little help from Dawn Eden, goes after the evil pro-choice women of the Haven Coalition. Now, what these women do is pretty awful, so prepare yourselves: They invite low-income women into their homes when these women travel to New York for abortions. They feed them. They give them a place [...]

My first law school final is tomorrow. Wish me luck. Because of that, and the other finals that follow in the coming two weeks, I (obviously) haven’t been blogging much. A few things to check out: At least I’m going to be rich. $1,000 an hour rich. Detainee abuse is worse than we thought. And [...]

By way of The Countess, here’s something I’ll be playing when I’m done with finals on Dec. 22: The Anti-Feminist Drinking Game: One shot each time an anti-feminist troll writes… “equality” “fairness” “victim” “misandry” “FemNag” “Feminazi” “matriarchy” “equality” Two shots for the following: “equity feminist” “gender feminist” Feel free to add new words to the [...]
...read more“Men’s Rights” to Women’s Bodies is a Feminist Argument
Spare me. Conley re-evaluates his original argument in the Times, and pretty much just digs himself a deeper hole. But, contrary to various accusations from other left-wing blogs, Conley is neither an anti-choice zealot nor an idiot. He’s pro-choice, and he’s socially liberal — in other words, he’s one of us, he just really misses [...]
...read moreIn Remembrance: The Montreal Massacre
Yesterday was the anniversary of the massacre at Ecole Polytechnique, which left 14 women dead. Sixteen years ago, a man (whose name I’m not writing because he deserves no recognition, no legacy, and no mention here) walked into the school toting a semi-automatic rifle — with a plan to kill women, simply because they were [...]
...read moreCarnival of Feminists Part 4
Is up over at Happy Feminist. And it’s a good one, do check it out! Many of my favorite posts from the past weeks are up — and thanks to the Happy Feminist for hosting, and for including a Feministe post. The next carnival will be at Scribblingwoman. Send submissions to jones AT unbsj DOT [...]
...read moreWhere Are the Boys?
This article has gotten a lot of play in conservative and Men’s Rights circles, as it laments the supposed disappearance of men from higher education. Now, were young men rapidly disappearing from college, or systematically being paid less for their work, or relegated to low-paying industries, I’d say it’s time to do something. And I [...]
...read moreIt was only a matter of time…
Although it seems a long time ago, it really wasn’t, that people who came here from other places made every attempt to fit in. Assimilation wasn’t a threat to anyone – it was what the Statue of Liberty represented. E pluribus unum, one out of many, was our motto. The world’s melting pot was our [...]
