Note: In its original format, this article made no sense whatsoever. The items in bold are my annotations, which hopefully will give you an easier time figuring out what’s really going on here than I had the first time I read it. Apologizing in advance for not blockquoting all the article excerpts!
No kids, […]

How quaint! Too bad he’s spying on you.
I’m no fan of the RCMP, one of our glorious national symbols. They had a historical role in abducting indigenous children from their families so that they could be tortured, brainwashed, and frequently killed in residential schools. More recently, they’ve been responsible for an out-of-control taser epidemic that […]

It’s hard to take seriously, but I’m doing my best. I couldn’t stop myself from doing a Google search on it; one of the first hits was this blog quote:
Yes, there really is a Journal of Happiness Studies — which could either be wonderful news or yet another sign of our imminent demise.”
I’ll buy […]

It’s Caturday, after all, and I exercise my right to be a crazy cat lady on the internet.
I hadn’t heard of Rachel Lucas before today, and it’s probably just as well. (I object on principle to cutesy diminutives of the name Rachel—Rachie is bad enough, but Wachel is the worst I’ve heard. Also, people who […]

When I was eighteen…
…I was an MRA.

Okay, not really. Not totally! and definitely not consciously. But I had some interesting ideas about men and women.

In a recent post by Sabotabby, Amanda commented that she had “just started Julia Serano’s book that was partially inspired by this, and her theory seems to be […]

After many failed attempts on trying to upload images to this blog, I’m just going to assume I have a computer competency level that rivals John McCain, and say screw it. The images that show which pro-life organizations do what is at my Teller of Truths blog, and there will be links going to […]

So in case you haven’t heard already, a couple of weeks ago Rum, Romanism and Rebellion unearthed this joke that McCain told at a meeting of the National League of Cities and Towns in 1986:
Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly […]

Best line in the whole article.
Usually I don’t blog about these kinds of studies, as they irritate me no end–either they are driven by a need to prove women are “inferior,” or if the study doesn’t pan out in that desirable direction, they are full of inanities delivered in tones of hushed astonishment–“Girls have caught […]

But you know, “shared misery is decreased” and all that. This week’s most disturbing photo from the internet. Get your eyedrops ready, and then click for more… if you dare.

Just… gyah!!! I mean. Ick. How…? Bleagh.
Our fair leader with March of Dimes national ambassador Catharine Aboulhouda. There’s definitely symbolic layers to this imagery. Layers […]

Mounties use tasers to sexually assault an aboriginal child. And get away with it.
Predictably, the article doesn’t call it sexual assault. But what does this sound like to you?

The girl, who was 16 at the time of the incident, said she was held down by four officers, one for each limb, while a taser was […]

Just 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 […]

Would people stop insinuating that I don’t care about women just because war is what I get the most worked up about right now? (I’m not just talking about on this blog. For some reason it seems to have become a common refrain lately.)
Being anti-war and being feminist are not mutually exclusive. After all, it’s […]
