My parents got married in 1965 and their fourth and last child was born in 1972. That would be me. Mom was young, as brides tended to be back then - married at 17 and a full passel of kids by 23. She loved it. She loved being pregnant (always told […]

Dr. Helen links to this Men’s Health magazine article with grim detestation, and I can see why. It’s called “8 Things She Hates About You — Don’t know why she’s angry? Now you do…”
The author, Lisa Jones, says her boyfriend never knows why she’s mad so she is forced to give him the silent […]

Melissa Clouthier says men need to butch up, Cassy Fiano agrees that they should man up, Dr. Helen says the family court system does not encourage either butching up or manning up, and about 150 commenters between the three of them say stuff that commenters say, from “yay, you’re right” to “you suck, now shut […]

Ace of Spades is talking about a debate going on at The Corner about whether or not military PX’s should sell Playboy and Penthouse. It’s all about this article:
Concerned that the military is selling pornography in exchange stores in spite of a ban, one lawmaker has introduced a bill to clean up the matter.
“Our […]

Over at Dr. Helen’s blog, I found a link to this MSNBC article by a woman who is truly a remarkable individual, willing to personally insult the father of her children on the internet and to clear up once and for all any questions anyone out there might have about why men sometimes don’t want […]

The article is even titled “White Men.” You know you’re in for a treat:
This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women. And when I say people, I don’t mean people, I mean white men. How ironic is this? After all this time, after all these […]

No, I could not let this one pass; I don’t think I’ve ever gotten more emails about an article than this one. Check it out:
Art major Aliza Shvarts ‘08 wants to make a statement.
Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially […]

The womyn with clenched fists are in fine form lately. Cassy Fiano has a great post up about an article in Glamor magazine by Megan Carpenter about how men get all the attention in the political blog world. Cassy shreds it but as usual I have shit to say, too.
First of all, […]

I can’t stay away from HuffPo and articles by delusional feminists. I just found one that starts out being about Sexual Assault Awareness Month but veers weirdly off into statements that are either completely untrue or are made by a woman living in a different reality than the rest of us. The writer, […]

I found this L.A. Times opinion piece by Rebecca Solnit via Amy Alkon (who crushes it to bits), and boy, it’s a good thing I did because otherwise I wouldn’t have realized that as a woman, I will be spending the rest of my lifetime fighting a “war” to be seen as a “human being” […]

I really wish I had Sally Field’s email address so I could send her a steady stream of stories like this and this. See if she’d run her cakehole about how peaceful females are then.
First up:
POLK COUNTY, Fla. — Video was released late Monday afternoon showing a brutal beating at the hands of a […]

This is gonna be long, because I have a lot of shit to say. With an issue like this, if you just throw your opinion out there and keep at the surface level, such as, “I’m against abortion” or “I support a woman’s right to choose”, you’re likely wasting your time and the time […]

I have a whole post drafted up about abortion, but it’s mostly about adults, so I’ll post it later. Plus, it seems to me that all the things I have to say in that post can only follow what I have to say in this post; otherwise, the subject of this post would be […]

Dr. Melissa links to a UK article about a Miss England contestant who some people say is too big. I took the pic of Marilyn Monroe from Dr. Melissa and stuck it next to the one of this “fat” girl, who is 5′10″.
She’s gross, right? And by “gross”, I mean extremely attractive. […]

I cannot express how deeply it offends me on a personal level that there are people in this country who get paid money to write articles for mainstream publications like this:
Looks like Elvis Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie, now 40, has had a few too many of those peanut-butter and deep-fried banana sandwiches her father famously […]
