Anti-choice ‘feminist’ knows what you ought to think and feel

At least she says so.
Faithfully Agnostic has recently posted two posts on how she makes her anti-choice stance match up with her proclaimed feminism. Of course, she calls it pro-life. I engaged for a while – mostly out of boredom – until I noticed something I had apparently not truly digested in my first reading [...]

Attention: Women are all the same

Once again due to my use of the Readomattic, I have come across genuine stupidity on the net. (Yes, really)
Sometimes I really must wonder where it all comes from. This time it is from a man, A. Guy Maligned, who according to his presentation of himself has been with his significant other for 54 years. [...]

Quote to Remember

“Using mainstream porn to teach yourself how to have sex is like the government using Die Hard as an anti-terrorism manual.”

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 [...]

Islamophobia in the name of Freedom

There’s a Danish group called Women for Freedom. Sounds like a good thing, but alas, they are as bigoted as they are active. Their chairwoman wrote (and I’ll translate from the Danish):
I have previously written about a hotel where one of the cleaning assistants were scarf-imprisoned.
Yes, that is what she calls it: Scarf-imprisoned. Because in [...]

On Allies and Ally-ism

Intersectionality has been much debated in feminist circles; oppressions overlap, and many of us belong to more than one marginalised group. Oppression is oppression, and no matter what the basis for one’s oppression is, what they all have in common is this: they hurt the oppressed. But (and that’s a very big but) while all [...]

News: Spam is not spam

Sometimes I get spam comments – I suppose we all do. The filter catches it and I can delete spammity comments at my leisure. Sometimes, though, one of them catches my eye. That happened just now, this spam comment was just precious.
The wording?
Yooo..
I kno it has nothing to do with what you wrote, but have [...]

Feminism Fail

In case you were in doubt as to how to ‘do’ feminism Dena Leichnitz is here to teach you. She has a post up about how ‘real’ feminists would do things, and I don’t know where to start. To be honest, it frightens me a bit. One thing is believing what she does, we’re all [...]

‘Quote of the Week’

A Truly Elegant Mess writes about the Conscience clauses.
“In my perfect world, you would be allowed to have your life, and your opinions still. The only difference is that you would not be able to dictate the life of anyone besides yourself.
In your perfect world, I wouldn’t even exist.
I refuse to lay down and die [...]
