Could someone please tell me how to upload an Excel file onto a blogpost? I’m completely lost on this one, and I’d like to share my data about pro-life organizations. If I have to save it as an image file, and post it that way, I can do that too.

As those of you on this blog know, I decided to keep my last name upon marrying Hubby, and he choose to do the same. We are Ms. Antigone Myname and Mr. Hubby Hisname. Aside from the very minor problems we have been having with our respective families (what are you going to […]

This weekend, I watched the movie “Dark Knight” twice (once on opening night, and once when my Hubby came back down from the sky) and the movie “Camp” off of Netflix*. Now, the two movies really don’t have much to do with each other: one is a dark, modern-day morality play with lots of […]

Get Smart

Last week, I went and watched the new version of the movie “Get Smart”. I had fond memories of the show when I was a child and it was on Nick and Night, but since nostalgia has burned me before (think the latest Indian Jones movie, Star Wars, Catwoman, oh, damn, lots of them) […]

Anti-choice Organizations

I am pro-choice, which should be as no surprise. In the area I am in, most people are anti-choice (which again, should be no surprise*). Of my group of friends I have, a plurality are apathetic (some violently so), the next highest group is anti-choice, a few are in the wishy-washy “well, it […]

Victim/Enforcer

I am sorry I have been bereft of my blogging duties as of late. Last week, I spent the Independence Day weekend at the lake with Hubby, Hubby’s family, and PE, and this week my grandmother was in the hospital, so I had to entertain family who came out.
For those of you interested, my […]

I seem to have some difficulty communicating to my friends, and other people online, on what “rape” really is. Rape is when one person is forced to have sex against his/her will. Generally, females are the victims of rape and men are the aggressors, but that is not always true. Men can […]

The other day, one of my friends was looking through my bookmarks, and remarked that I had a lot of feminist blogs linked. I responded, somewhat off-handedly, that “Yeah, the feminist blogsphere is pretty much the only place on the internet where I can read the comment threads”. He responded to that “Oh, […]

Today I went to the JCPenny’s, in order to find a simple black skirt (which, apparently, doesn’t exist) and I saw two little boys, one who looked about 13, and one who looked about 10 with these t-shirts on:

I got close enough to read the back of the shirt, where it said that these shirts […]

Over at Hugo’s place, there is this truly excellent post on rape and consent. Really, everyone should go over there and read it. But, this post is not about rape, this post is about a theme that started to develop in the comments, about clearly communicating desires and wants.
More than once, […]

Ode to My Father

Like many others, my father and I don’t see eye to eye: politically, socially, or culturally. He thinks feminism is a bunch of girls whining, and an effort to keep hard-working men down. He likes to be in wide-open spaces, where there is no one to talk to, I like the energy of […]

My last post seems to have generated some “discussion” so I’ll clarify a few points.

What Lisa said.
What? You are saying that is ridiculously lazy of me? You’re saying that I promised a response in the comments of this post? Spoilsports.
Anyway, to address, in a point-by-point fashion, Jerry and Reality:
Wow, you leave for […]
