Every Ho I Know Says So
There’s a video I’d like you all to watch. Produced by sex workers for partners, lovers, dates or potential partners, lovers or dates of sex workers, it’s covers the things that sex workers want you to know. From the blurb: EVERY HO I KNOW SAYS SO is a response to the total lack of accessible [...]

I have found the perfect boyfriend for you. You’re welcome. You’re going to have to give up all 19 of your cats, but you’ll get over it, because there are rewards involved.

A quick pointer to a couple of interesting posts on the “art of no” at CaptainAwkward.com, a highly informative, often hilarious, and thoroughly feminist advice blog. In the first post, the Captain notes that: Women are socialized to make men feel good. We’re socialized to “let you down easy.” We’re not socialized to say a [...]

Working at Planned Parenthood, I tend to get a lot of questions about sex and sexual health. I’ve met people at parties and had them tell me about their crabs. I’ve had folks I just met at a bar, only half-jokingly, ask about a rash they had in their nether-regions. And I’ve become the resident [...]

Oh I relate to this interview with Jaclyn Friedman so, so much. She talks about the difficulties of dating while feminist, and how hard it can be to negoatiate your beliefs with your lovelife. I mostly date dudes, and let me tell you: That shit is not easy. Outing oneself as a Feminist Blogger does [...]

College and the Single Girl
I know it seems like we do this a lot, but it’s time to start wringing your hands again about women who go to college. Apparently there are too many of us! And now we can’t get boyfriends! North Carolina, with a student body that is nearly 60 percent female, is just one of many [...]

I mentioned in my intro to openness post that I was going to write one post about nonmonogamy and feminism, and another post that was more about my personal experience. I did write the personal post, and have it up on my blog if you’re interested in reading, but I wanted to share with you [...]

When I started reading about nonmonogamy, I began to realize that a lot of the appeal for me came from how closely it fell in line with my feminist beliefs. Because I’ve been socialized to see monogamy as the default, even within the feminist circles I’ve been part of, this seemed to me counterintuitive at [...]

In case folks have not yet caught on, I am in an open relationship. Way back in January, I announced on my blog that I was interested in learning more about polyamory and was overwhelmed with responses in the comments, over email, gchat, twitter, etc. I had no idea where to even start and months [...]

Before starting my guest-blogging stint here, I asked folks everywhere to send me ideas for things to post. Abby Jean requested ponies, which quickly turned into My Little Pony thanks to Cara. Queen Emily and T. R Xands expressed their excitement as well, so who am I to deny them? I am a believer in [...]

(Click here if you can’t view the embedded video.) Of course, nothing about this show is actually funny. Steve Ward not only reinforces the idea that women only have worth in life they’re able to find a man, while simultaneously mocking them for therefore being obsessed with desperately trying to find one — he also [...]

Happy Commercialized Love Day! Or, fine, for those of you (probably most?) who do actually celebrate . . . Happy Valentine’s Day! (If you can’t see the video, click here.) They use scientific tools . . . like questions! It’s funny ’cause it’s true.
