Only One Answer Please, Hurr, Hurr

In my newspaper they have this feature every Sunday in which they’ve collected headlines (and other sentences) from the week’s publishings. They collect them from their own paper, other newspapers, surveys, televised news etc etc. They collect them because they were worded in funny ways and the meaning might have been twisted and is therefore [...]

Apologies

I’ve been thinking a lot about apologies lately. Apologies are important. In fact, they are necessary for functioning amongst other human beings. Without them we’d probably all run around hating each other and taking our sweet revenge for all the slights committed against us, however small. Yeah, apologies are wondrous peace-makers, I believe. But at [...]

They suddenly remembered the trans people

A couple of days ago the Danish National Organisation for Lesbians and Gays (that’s their old name directly translated) announced that they will be changing their name to LGBT Denmark, to properly reflect that they are also a community for transgendered and bisexual people, and will also fight for their rights. Considering that being trans [...]

Personals

The personals can be a fun thing to read sometimes. And sometimes I doubt the veracity of their content. I found this one just now: BLACK MAIL IN HIS EARLY LATE 30s well educated, living in New York is looking for possible relationship with a white lady. If interested, write to [email redacted] Black mail? [...]

Reading comprehension

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 [...]

Mental Illnesses: Still Uncharted Territory

I recently got back on to a forum with parts of a crowd I used to hang with a couple of years ago. The crowd as such is nice and fun, but in the debate section views are widely varied (which is cool) but often expressed with several degrees of offensive bullshit. This especially goes [...]

D&D – BDSM: Not the same letters

I’ve seen it mentioned several times now. That D&D, ren-faires, medieval festivals, and role-playing are somehow similar to BDSM. I saw it first here. I didn’t think much of it. It seemed a snide remark without much substance an so I ignored it. Until it was clarified in chapter two: I realize that role-playing gets [...]

About Time I Take a Stand

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 [...]

A National Perspective

This story is fairly old by now, but when it was still fresh I had me some thoughts. News stories are always a matter of perspective – obviously. On those thankfully few occasions there have been ‘honour crimes’ on Danish territory, people have been outraged, and the news media and the politicians have been all [...]

Blog Ratings

This post at The Feminist Underground and subsequently this post from Unapologetically Female had me curious. So I decided to check out my own blog’s rating. Just for kicks. Unlike the other two, I have no recent posts including the word abortion (but now I do). I got rated NC-17 because of these words: rape [...]
