Defense claims suspect “extraordinarily large”, couldn’t rape 13 y/o girl

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous defenses in a rape trial that I have ever heard, emphasis mine:
The attorney representing a Lansdale man in a high-profile rape case wants a mold made of his client’s penis to prove to jurors that he couldn’t have committed the crime.
Attorney Marvin Gold wants Montgomery […]

Generation Entitlement? Yes.

Via Anna:
Younger women arrive at a new office pumped up on Suze Orman and you-go-girl self-empowerment, and are quickly deflated by the necessary drudgery of copying and collating. Older women, who have paid their dues dealing with sexism and grunt work for decades, are chagrined that younger women assume they can just show up and […]

“Victim or Vixen?” The world’s worst headline for a news story about a famous pedophile.

Now, this article is supposed to be about the debate as to whether or not the alleged victim is actually the person shown on the R. Kelly child pornography sex tape, but the author of it decided to go for a catchy hook line, rather than starting the story off with what it was really […]

Boobs for “The Women” (Thanks, MPAA)

This poster for The Women is not ok with me:

Not only is the movie poster in the shape of a woman’s torso, it has outlines of (perfectly even) breasts in bright red lipstick. Oh, wait! Don’t forget the belly button, and the perfect Barbie waist and hips! I suppose it wouldn’t be so awful if […]

Rebecca Walker calls Clinton supporters “reverse-sexists”

Rebecca Walker really just wants me to hate her, doesn’t she? I feel like she’s playing an immature game where she pisses off feminists across the globe in a desperate plea for attention and wealth. Here’s a tip: you’ll never be your mother, so just let it go. Alice Walker is a far better writer, […]

Discounting your biological clock: is feminism to blame, or are you an idiot?

I’m going to go with a huge resounding no, but some people seem to think that feminism has convinced women that their careers are more important than children, and that women are losing out on motherhood because of it. I’m more inclined to believe this is people blaming feminism for their poor decision making skills. […]

Women 2.0

According to market researchers at Sony Ericsson, women spend more on electronics every year than they do on shoes. I’m glad some technology companies are finally getting the point that simply making something pink or slapping a flower on something crappy (like a Motorola Razr) does not automatically mean that women will buy it. I […]

The feminist blogosphere sucks. Let’s change that.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about remaining in the feminist blogosphere. It’s full of catty women picking and choosing what they write about and who they find acceptable to link and associate themselves with based on their ridiculously skewed perception of feminism.
There is no place in the feminist blogosphere for sex positive feminists […]
