Feminism: Explained for Ladybrains

I use the tag surfer and the Readomattic with great pleasure. Sometimes it brings me to awesome blogs the existence of which I didn’t know of. For instance it caused the recent addition of Feminist Whore to my blogroll. However, it also sometimes brings me to blogposts about feminism, written by people who have no [...]

Minister shows restraint

Recently there’s been a lot of concern about the use of force in psychiatric wards here in Denmark. Many stories of patients being restrained to their beds for weeks on end have rolled over the headlines, and the Council of Europe have expressed concern that there seems to be an overuse of patient restraints in [...]

Or he might have been a tourist

Yesterday with all the whoopla about the IOC congress there was wall-to-wall coverage of the whole damn thing. It wasn’t possible to get any decent news from anywhere else in the country (or outside it for that matter) for several hours. All cams were focused on President Obama just like they were focused on Michelle [...]

It’s only Parkinson’s

I’ve been wanting to take a picture of something for a while. But since I seldom carry my camera with me I haven’t yet had the opportunity. If I do get a pic, I’ll post it, but for now I’ll just tell you about a man I’ve seen downtown many times. Or, rather it’s not [...]

No Thanks, America

I’m all for receiving exports from you in terms of science, inventions, good books, music and actors. That’s cool. But there’s one thing I would’ve appreciated you’d have kept for yourselves:
40 Days For Life
This despicable anti-abortion propaganda group has now begun their first serious campaign. On the road leading to Holbæk hospital they have placed [...]

My nation’s ableist shame

A man named Jens Holst recently took it upon himself to demonstrate just how crappy disability access is in Denmark. Of course, his focus is on wheelchair users as that’s the groups he’s part of, but suffice to say that’s plenty bad enough. Once we start taking into account accommodations for invisible disabilities it won’t [...]

Promoting women is up to the companies

Yes, I know the article is a week old. I’ve been out of the loop. Shoot me.
Maersk promotes female managers
The number of women in top level positions is set to increase significantly in the next five years
The country’s largest company, A.P.Moller-Maersk, has committed to having more female managers within five years.
The company is one of [...]

The Big Blogroll Edit: a Meta-post

I’ve been going through my links. Cleaned out a couple of dead ones. Removed a couple of abandoned blogs from the list. And most time-consuming of all: I sorted them.
I have several more blogs I intend to add, and I try to categorize them as I best can. But I’m not infallible, and being as [...]

It’s official

I have Asperger’s. Finally. The appointment I’ve been waiting for for months now rolled around.
It was with some trepidation, I went. My experiences with psychiatrists and psychologists  have been bland at best. Really poor at worst. I’d heard good things about this guy, but as we all know: just because one person has good chemistry [...]

How to be a good ally

Or even just an ally.
I’ve written about being an ally before and Genderbitch/recusiveparadox has written this very helpful guide complete with a brief list of Dos and Don’ts, that I simply must hawk where I can.
Here’s a couple of samples:
Let’s say you’re playing a real time strategy video game. Your base is under attack. If [...]
