In-game Romances

In more and more role-playing games (pc and console) it has become possible to enact a romance with an NPC (non-player character). Of course this must lie in the script from the makers, or it must be created by loyal fans, who are willing(and able) to write what they feel are missing in the game. [...]

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 [...]

Sex as negotiable action

When I went to pick up the boo, today, I was listening to the radio as usual. I was zapping around between 4-5 stations because my tolerance for music I don’t like is terribly low, and whenever a song I don’t like is on, I switch to a different station. As luck would have it, [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Intimidation 101

If the situation is in no other way threatening to anyone, then, telling a person that you will not do X, will make that person think that X is exactly, what you’re planning to do.
Example from the other day: Early in the morning I drive my boyfriend to work, ’cause I need to car myself [...]

Uganda to outlaw circumcision

From News24.com
Uganda will pass a law banning female genital mutilation, which is rampant among pastoralist tribes in the country’s eastern region, the president said in a statement on Friday.
“The way God made it, there is no part of a human body that is useless,” President Yoweri Museveni told a gathering in the eastern Karamoja district.
“Now [...]

Who’s angry again?

WordPress has this lovely feature called tag surfer. I’ve found some wonderful blogs that way, and sometimes I find some less fantastic ones. A few days ago I found yet another post by an angry white male, who absolutely denies any white male anger to ever have existed. He’s not angry. Nope. Never. No, he [...]

Temper, harpiness and gender

I had one of those “hmmm…” moments the other day when talking to my mother. She and my dad work at the same place as teachers, and recently they’ve had some problems with their new boss, and so mails have been exchanged, and diplomacy skills have been exercised.
When my mum told me about how they’d [...]

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 [...]
