Poise Pro-Choice Messenger Bag
For now the feminist ad network is on hold, scratched in favor of a person-to-person deal promoting an item I love, the pro-choice messenger bag. Bonus: when you buy one, Cinnamon donates $15 of your payment to your favorite pro-choice non-profit. Cinnamon Cooper, creator of Poise.cc is a handbag designer with a grand vision. Her [...]

By declaring, apparently, that domestic violence doesn’t matter. During the Clinton Administration, the feminists parlayed their hysteria that domestic violence is a national epidemic into the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). This created a gigantic gravy train of taxpayers’ money, known as feminist pork, that empowers pro-divorce, anti-male activism. Don’t you just [...]

I was book tagged by Marian two weeks ago, and, because of my crappy internet situation, didn’t see it until today. And while she tagged Third Wave Agenda (my old blog), I’m going to take the liberty of moving it over here. So here goes: Number of Books That You Own: I have no idea. [...]

Jesse at Pandagon writes an amazing piece on father’s day — and conservatives do us all a serious disservice by defining a “father’s role” along traditional gender lines. I believe that parents are important — fathers are important, and mothers are important. But as Jesse writes, the measure of a good father isn’t how well [...]

Well the New York Times says, you can’t tell. Thanks for the newsflash, guys. The article is kind of silly, but the basic theme — that cultural definitions of masculinity are shifting, so that being less stereotypically blue-collar “masucline” isn’t necessarily bad — is interesting. It’s unfortunate, of course, that masculinity is broken down into [...]

This week, my mom wished me a happy Father’s Day, justifying that I am a mom and a dad to my boy. It made me wonder whether I should also wish E’s dad a happy Mother’s Day. Six years ago, pregnant and virtually homeless, I never would have thought that I would be so committed [...]

Due to various Net Nanny restrictions, I’m unable to get to most of the websites and blogs that interest me – Feministing, Alas, the Village Voice, AlterNet, even Slate are all usually blocked. I can trick it into letting me get to Feministe by clicking “refresh” seven or eight times until it gets tired of [...]

A Feministe fan sent me an email asking for advice about starting a blog — more blog-philosophy stuff than nuts-and-bolts basics. I’ve emailed her my thoughts, but since most of you either have blogs or read blogs, you may be able to offer some wisdom and advice — and I’d certainly like to hear a [...]

She fumes: “I’d ban anything that is too small or too tight, unless you’re slim and toned. I’m sick of seeing flab bulging all over the place…I’d kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe.” I have some choice words for Elizabeth Hurley, but I’ll let you guys take care of this one. [...]

This is just disgusting. The White House has apparently been taking “extraordinary efforts” to hinder anti-global-warming strategies by the British government. The documents obtained by The Observer represent an attempt by the Bush administration to undermine completely the science of climate change and show that the US position has hardened during the G8 negotiations. They [...]
