Any color so long as it’s black.
9 Comments Published by violet July 24th, 2008 in Punkass!, Feminism, Bodily Autonomy, Human Rights, CultureJust a bit back, Lisa has this neat/infuriating post on how women are functionally censured no matter what choice we make with respect to childbearing (and, of course, many other things).
She concludes, wondering,
Why, in a country purportedly founded upon the rights of the individual to choose any number of things–why we have created a situation […]
“Men” and “mankind” apparently not being defined to include “ambulatory wombs.”
25 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas July 21st, 2008 in For the ladies, Historical Wankery, Family, Shame on you for being a woman, My Brain Hurts, Human Rights, CultureAfter having spent my adult life variously not being a mom, being a married mom, being a single mom, being a mom who stayed at home and being a mom who worked outside the home, I have come to the conclusion that if you are a fertile woman of childbearing years, no matter what you’re […]
Get Smart
8 Comments Published by Antigone July 16th, 2008 in Punkass!, Entertainment, Movies, CultureLast 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) […]
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, […]
On the Death Penalty, Partisanship and the Rape of Children: Part One
3 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas June 26th, 2008 in Governmental Failures, Violence, Lick My Jackboots of Love, Human Rights, Deaths, Soapbox, CultureI am leery of the death penalty for two reasons, one philosophical, one brutally concrete.
The philosophical reason is that I object to the State, that amorphous and unaccountable collection of legislation, having the absolute power of life and death over any individual. The State already has a fair amount of control […]
Russia wages war on emo
4 Comments Published by Sabotabby June 16th, 2008 in Brilliant Ideas, Godbaggery, Unintentional Humor, Lick My Jackboots of Love, Ze Goggles! Zey Do Nothing!, Conformity, CultureWhat Americans do half-heartedly, the Russians will attempt with gusto.
Russian lawmakers are weird.
Parliamentary hearings were held yesterday at which the “Concept for a State Policy in the Area of Spiritual and Moral Education of the Children of the Russian Federation and Protection of Their Morals” was discussed.
Really weird:
The draft law “On Children’s Toys” would ban […]
opPRESSion oLYMpics, Baby!
2 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas June 13th, 2008 in Punkass!, For the ladies, What Patriarchy?, Dudes, Shame on you for being a woman, Lick My Jackboots of Love, Human Rights, Soapbox, Shame on you for not being rich white and privileged, CultureI hold Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton personally responsible for having seriously overloaded the collective “oppression” brain circuitry of America. Bad, bad candidates for the supreme leadership of what is still the richest and most powerful country in the world. Naughty! You’re both grounded! Now go to your rooms and think about […]
Well, there are two nouns you don’t often see together. At least I haven’t much.
Our recent mild infestation of MRAs inspired the twinned thought above–it does seem odd at first, because other than the fact that they are both violent crimes committed by one person against another, they don’t appear to have much else […]
I Want Me Some “Marriage Strikers(tm)!”
16 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas June 6th, 2008 in Wedding-big mistake or bad idea?, Mutterings Of The Disturbed, Looks like someone needs an intervention, Culture, RelationshipsDisclaimer: I am so not commenting on Glenn Sacks’ response to Antigone’s blog post. I have decided that to do so would be thievery, dammit, thievery! so I am simply going to confine myself to the basic concept discussed by both.
God, save me from myself! At the tender age of thirty-five, I’ve […]
The Deification of Stay-At-Home Motherhood
8 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas June 4th, 2008 in Family, Work, Wankers, CultureThis just really, really irritates me.
Mother’s love worth $117,000 per year, study says
No, THAT isn’t what irritates me…actually I’d say that mother’s love, or any healthy parental love, is priceless. I think we’ve all seen how damaged people can end up being when they aren’t on the receiving end of much, or any, as […]
On Foreskins, From A Person Who Does Not Now And Indeed Never Has Had One
26 Comments Published by Lisa Kansas May 26th, 2008 in Sex, Health, Bodily Autonomy, Cock!, CultureIt makes me wary of espousing any opinion on the subject that appears to be laying down the law! in any way, shape or form. I imagine that some men feel the same way about espousing an opinion about the morality and/or legality of abortion, especially basing any such opinion on the way an […]
So my godmother wasn’t insane when she hoped my X-Files fandom would make me an FBI agent
3 Comments Published by Kyso Kisaen May 21st, 2008 in For the ladies, Sex, Movies, Media hackery, HUH!?, CultureI’ve never seen Sex in the City. I’ve heard it’s good, but not brainwashing, sex-zombie-creating good.
I guess something in the ending credits reminds you not to talk about that bit. And it almost worked.
You can only watch Samantha Jones bed so many gorgeous guys before wondering if 4-inch heels and sky-high confidence would […]
