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 [...]

I’m a regular reader over at Heartless Bitches International. They have many good articles up, many good rants. I especially like the Rants and the Auntie Dote sections.

I’m actually wanting to write a post by the title of Relativity and Reality, but I’m still formulating my thoughts, so right now I’m procrastinating.
Many memes, chain letters etc that circulate the internet show unfortunate tendencies here and there. One that most often rears its head is Priviledge.
