Right Wing News ranks what’s important in a female pundit: Hotness
Has physical attractiveness become the sole criterion by which female conservative news pundits are judged? Maybe not (yet), but a new “top” list from a conservative news site certainly won’t help dispel that impression. Those of you who’ve noticed a certain tendency at Fox News to hire attractive, blonde news…
Friday Genius Ten “Self-Defeating Behavior” Edition
In today’s news about creepy dudes with no game trying to compensate with creepy behavior, someone designed a Foursquare app that calculates the “love ratio” for dudes of nearby places, i.e. how many women are in the place. Or how many women checked into Foursquare, which is hardly a universally…
Gloating and fund-raising
Awhile ago, while writing about a survey that showed more men than women would be secretly pleased at an unintended pregnancy, I offered this theory as to why: In our sexist society, the decision to marry is basically on the man. Women are the ones who are supposed to be…
Epic battle of Nice Guys® vs. common sense at Penny Arcade
Thanks/curses to Darcy for alerting me to this deeply disturbing public conversation between the writer (Tycho) and illustrator (Gabe) of Penny Arcade, a conversation that had the unfortunate result of reinforcing the perception that geeky dudes are seething misogynists that you better hope don’t have guns or the ability to…
Doctor who saved many women’s lives murdered
Dr. George Tiller, whose clinic is quite possibly the most picketed and protested in the country, has been murdered while at services in his Lutheran church. So far, there’s no suspects caught, but police are looking for a powder blue Taurus. Odds are pretty strong the murderer is a forced…
Fact is, people have no idea what’s even going on
Back from Europe, broke and tired, but super glad to be home. Anything important happen while I was gone? Just kidding! While I didn’t have time to write, I was able to follow some of the stuff going on back home, and was disappointed to find that there was a…
And “activist judge” is code for “thinks women are people”
Well, according to Orrin Hatch, that is. When asked about some of Obama’s comments about what he looks for in a judicial nominee, Hatch indicated that he and all other Republicans would treat anyone that Obama nominates like she was Andrea Dworkin rolled up into Karl Marx, and said: “Well,…
This dude probably thinks he’s doing women a service
What starts out as a banal lifestyle piece: You’ve heard it before, but I’m not going to browbeat you about the immorality of going all the way on the first night. I’m also not going to say, as the London Telegraph does, that you’re likely to drive away relationship material…
Social Security is not our biggest problem
One of the few problems I had with Michelle Goldberg’s book The Means of Reproduction is that she indulged the argument that while developing nations need to reduce their population, developed nations need to increase ours, an argument that comes straight from the hyperventilating anti-sex, misogynist hard right. It’s true…
How to write a popular online article
Step one: Fulfill some stereotype that sexist men have about women, especially those who they think are trying to have their feminist cake and eat it with a side of dependence and chivalry. Ideally, you get pregnant to trap a man into paying child support. As this doesn’t really happen,…
