The fun thing about starting this blog has been the reaction from the Las Vegas feminist and activist community. I am so happy that people have embraced The Siren and the work we have already accomplished in five short months. (And I genuinely believe the best is yet to come!) So even though I am…
Autumn is in full swing, folks. The silly season is over – you know, the season of movies like “Good Luck Chuck” and our insatiable desire to gobble up ridiculous news stories. Let’s get down to business: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: find out more about breast cancer; one click here will apparently help…
Natalie here. This is my first post. In light of the Michael Vick case, and Vegetarian Awareness Month (October!), I thought I’d make some points on why feminists should care about animal rights. I’m standing on the shoulders of much brighter women and men here, although I’m sparing the point-by-point details in this here list.…

(I promise, as I get better each day, I’ll stop slacking a little more each day.) Believe in reducing your carbon footprint? How…
I just wanted to put up a quick post for all the new people who might be finding the site today, nearly the end of my second week as a blogger! (I can’t believe The Sin City Siren is the first thing that comes up when you plug this blog’s name into Yahoo! Wow!) Super…
Should we track domestic violence abusers (or rapists and pedophiles for that matter) by implanting GPS chips in convicted offenders? It’s an interesting question and one explored in an article on Slate by Maura Kelly. Just as GPS can find a lost driver, it can also alert cops and targets whenever a domestic-violence offender enters…
