It’s not rape if you yell surprise. Riding your girl softly, Cause you don’t want her to wake up. Kicking sluts in the vagina because it’s funny watching your foot disappear. 1.5 million ‘likes’ and I’ll rape my Mom! What’s 10 inches and gets girls to have sex with me? My knife. These are a…
As I reached for a warmer blanket for the bed this week, I was reminded that in no time we’ll be getting ready for roast beast (of the meat or non-meat varieties) on Thanksgiving. And when I think about Thanksgiving, I think about The Sin City Siren’s annual Mindful Giving list. Like last year, I’m…
Take Back the Night is happening today at UNLV!
Today is Love Your Body Day, an event designed to remind us about the power of negative energy and imagery that is all around us.

Here’s an interesting event:

But just what are we getting out of “Pinktober” anyway? And does it…
It’s Oct. 11 and that means it’s National Coming Out Day. The point of NCOD is to raise visibility for LGBTQ individuals. The idea is that if queer folks come out to those around them, it will help spread awareness and inclusiveness for LGBTQ issues. After all, it’s a lot easier to deny the rights…
*Trigger warning* October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. I’m sure there’s some feminist blogger bylaws somewhere that say that I am obligated to write about DV month.
