Just in case you’ve been too busy to keep tabs on The Tired Feminist, here’s a round-up of recent posts: Sexism in the sun-hat aisle? Sounds like another installment of TMF: Tired Marketing FAIL! What do you do when a pastor says The Bible justifies marital rape? When you’re a pastor yourself, you call him…

Just a note to everyone: I am still here. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been under the weather (not an illusion to our sudden chill). Don’t worry, I’ll be back to bloggin’ and causing trouble in no time. Until then… think happy thoughts for me.
