Is not the big thing among bigots. See, I wrote this post about who’s angry, about Guy White and his complete ignorance on the study he referred to, his ignorane on evo psych, on biology, on sociology etc etc. He did not even allow a pingback to his post. Instead he posted a comment containing [...]

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 [...]

Those few who frequent my blog might notice that I’ve split up my blogroll. Until now it’s included blogs written by sex-positive feminists, by radfems, by people for and people against porn/prostitution, by ex-sex workers who hated the work, and by sex workers who like and even love their jobs. In other words: My blogroll [...]

I don’t know how many of you have heard about Conn Iggulden’s The Dangerous Book for Boys. Until yesterday when I saw it in an ad from our local bookstore I hadn’t. I’m not going into the book’s message as I haven’t read it, though I do think it might be an interesting thing to [...]

Some of you (though I’d be surprised) might wonder about my stance on certain topics that often come up in feminist circles. I have yet to make public statements regarding my opinion on stripping, porn, prostitution and other forms of sex work as well as my opinion on BDSM and other controversial sexual practices.
