Boobie jokes
Catching up on my blog reading, I read this post at Hoyden About Town that was both depressing and interesting, about how there’s a minor panic on the blogs because it was revealed that Salma Hayek is breastfeeding a 13 month old baby. To calm, rational people, the response to…
Anti-choice stereotypes
This new video is about the various nasty stereotypes that anti-choicers have about women, and why they’re bullshit. Considering that “women are stupid” has made its way into a Supreme Court decision, this isn’t small stuff. RH Reality Check: Anti-Choice Stereotypes from RH Reality Check on Vimeo. Considering that the…
Please people
Update, because a few decent people are confused: I was trying to let off some steam with a funny rant, and if you don’t get it, I’m sorry that I failed in making that more obvious. What this has to do with feminism is that the blog is getting swarmed…
Why topless beauty pagents matter

The point is blogging may be spotty until Thursday morning, when I’ve safely returned from Gomorrah-on-the-Pacific.…
Nope, really is misogyny
Apparently, “moral” refusal laws extend to EMT workers, who are allowed to refuse to give women who are in emergency situations rides to the hospital if they have reason to believe that the doctor will do an emergency termination to save a woman’s life. I continue to be annoyed at…
Ripe opportunity, but only alternative media cares
As I expected, the American Life League coming clean about their desires to ban the birth control pill with their “Pill Kills” campaign has had the intended effect of making it easier for those of us who’ve been busting our asses trying to get out the word that the anti-choice…
