As feminists have been saying all week, this business with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange says a lot more about how we feel about rape than any government conspiracy ever contrived. The spin is mind-numbing! Conservatives want Assange’s head on a platter for leaking sensitive and classified US documents through his Wikileaks site. Meanwhile, many high-profile…
There’s some bullshit going on at the airport and I’m not talking about body scanners. According to The Stir, the TSA has hit new lows in harassing breastfeeding women. While traveling home to her 7-month-old son, Stacey Armato was not just stopped and asked about the pumped breastmilk she had, she was downright bullied. As…
When I caught a whiff of uproar over the self-published The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover’s Code of Conduct, I admit I had to take a few digital steps back and collect my thoughts. As a survivor of sexual abuse, I didn’t even want to open the links flashing through on twitter.…
Yes, you read that headline correctly. The editor-in-chief, the Big Boss, at the Las Vegas Review Journal (the largest daily newspaper in Nevada) thinks women should no longer have the right to vote.

Have you heard? The Tea Party Express is storming Searchlight, Nev. this weekend! And why would anyone want to go to Searchlight, you might ask? Because that’s where incumbent Sen. Harry Reid is from, silly! They’re going to get ’em on his own home turf, those clever bastards! Gosh, they really are so darn witty…
I am cautiously making my way back to the living after suffering through a bought of stomach flu that started on Sunday. It’s taken me a week to work my way up to chicken soup! Honestly, I haven’t been that heinously sick since I was a child! But I will spare you the gory details…
Dear Mass Media: Please stop breathlessly airing/printing 24/7 coverage of Tiger Woods, his so-called comeback (don’t people have to stop talking about you for it to be a comeback?), replaying evidence of his indiscretions, showing footage of yelling out questions at him and/or his wife, showing photos of his mistresses, et al. Just stop. It’s…
The anti-choice wolves aren’t done. Apparently Dr. Tiller’s death was not enough. Now they are going after Nebraska’s [Warning: The photos with this link are very graphic.] Dr. LeRoy Carhart. Protesters from more than a dozen states have converged on his clinic, intent on shutting him down. [** Major props to Essential Estrogen for keeping…
I know I’ve ranted on this subject before, but what is up with the new Guess ad campaign? (Sorry for the poor quality scan. I couldn’t find a link or jpeg online.) Is this really what Guess is telling people is sexy? And furthermore, this is how they want to show their clothes off to…
