No, absolutely not.

No, in case you were wondering, this is not ok. In fact, it’s downright embarrassing that a human being would find it acceptable to create and publish this.

There are no words!
I mean, even if you aren’t a Hillary supporter, you have to be able to get behind how ridiculous this is. An article - and […]

Virginia 1st state to mandate internet safety lessons

From:
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia is the first state to mandate that public schools offer Internet safety classes for all grade levels — and it’s one of many measures being taken nationally to protect young Web users.
Virginia’s requirement initially stemmed from concerns about sex offenders preying on children online and a general increase in Internet-based […]

The consequences of rape cover-ups

The past few months, the media has been overrun with stories relating to rapes that have been covered up by the military and KBR (and KBR, again), immigration officials, and many more. The coverage of rape myths has continued to remain popular, despite the thousands of women who have experienced otherwise. Stories have been released […]

How exactly is the blue dress relevant to this presidential election?

Courtesy of Shakesville, I found an absolutely disgusting story on ABC News today:

Celebrity blow up dolls: there are no words

Apparently, a company called Pipedream Products (google at your own risk) produces celebrity blow up sex dolls as part of their “Super Star Series”. They have dolls of:

Jessica Simpson: Crazy Daisy! (pictured)
Jessica Alba: Jessica Sin, […]

“Horton Hears A Who!” not “Horton Hears An Anit-Choice Protest!”

When I was younger I was quite the reader. I liked to read because I wanted to be just like my mom (and I still do want to be just like my mom, hence the knitting and the reading) and she loved reading, too. After my brother was born, we spent a lot of […]

Tid bits: Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics use “sexual experimentation”

I am a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. Ask my boyfriend and my roommates: I watch it constantly, and I listen to the musical all the time. If Buffy could be a religion, I would be a devout follower.
Since Buffy is no longer on television, I’ve been going through a bit of a […]

The Top 10 Things Men Lie About

If the NY Post can be completely sexist when it comes to lying, then so can I. The piece was published over the weekend and it uses a book written by a woman (whose credentials - or lack thereof - are completely ignored) to claim that, in the words of Jessica Valenti, women are […]

LOL of the day: a resume full of “hopes and plans”

Letter to the Editor from the Journal Times of Racine, Wisconsin:
I agree with Kim Morrison that Barack Obama would be a great president. I have hope that he can provide free health insurance for everyone.
I have hope that he can bring our soldiers home and make the world a safer place. I have hope that […]

Stick to what you’re good at: housemaking, swooning, etc.

I think every single feminist blog I read has picked up on Charlotte Allen’s sexist “women are idiots” piece already, but it’s my turn now:
So I don’t understand why more women don’t relax, enjoy the innate abilities most of us possess (as well as the ones fewer of us possess) and revel in the […]
