I 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 [...]

Just completely gross.
Short version: Sarasota Planned Parenthood and Habitat for Humanity team up with a plan that will help Planned Parenthood with some zoning issues and help Habitat get some almost-free land. For their altruism, they’re repaid with the nastiest of the nasty anti-choice contingent:
“We could have put up any building we wanted,” said [...]

Vatican: Excommunication for female priests
I’d be shocked and disgusted, if only I cared more about the Catholic church or even about the moral sensibilities of the people who want to be a part of it.
Catholic church says it’s following Christian tradition
You can’t argue with that.
The decree was published Thursday by Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore [...]

Pastel is the new black.
Please tell me that this article was written by a bored, possibly drunk AP writer having a lark and trying to see what he or she could sneak past the editor.
Prairie skirts are in fashion this season, while dusty pastels and neutrals are being introduced to offset trendy bold colors and [...]

Warning: I get pissy below. I EVEN DROP THE F-BOMB.
The sexist smog surrounding Danica Patrick’s career as a racecar driver, culminating in her recent win in Japan, has finally tipped over into the blatantly ridiculous. She’s a winner, it seems, primarily because she is smaller than all the other drivers. [...]

For proof that Charlotte Allen is freaking hilarious and the rest of us are humorless harpies who can’t handle the truth, look no further than this response in her defensive Q-and-A about her catastrophic failure of a WaPo opinion article.
Woodbridge, Va.: Congratulations on a hilarious article. Do you think the hysterical response to [...]

Amanda can’t fisk this, but I bet I can (although I admit to being less sure when I got to the bottom of the page and saw the link to page 2).
Long story short: Women, why did we ever give them the vote?
Long story longer: Charlotte Adam just can not stop typing when it comes [...]

Focus on the Family’s Boundless Webzine (check out their podcasts! I told you they were hip) isn’t afraid to tackle the hard issues; as distasteful as Candace Watters finds answering this question, it’s her Christian duty to tell all the young ladies out there how they can avoid the fires of hell that surely [...]

Amanda points to Rod Dreher’s take on a recent NYT style article about sexed-up wedding dresses. Now this being a New York Time’s slut-shaming style piece, it is of course unintentionally hilarious, trying to mix up the usual fluffy attempts to pass off a super-fabulous wealthy lifestyle as normal (who among us doesn’t get [...]

Newspapers make me sad:
A Des Moines woman who refused to take off her top and imitate a Girls Gone Wild video had her cell phone stolen and was assaulted by her tormentors, police said…Four young men are listed as suspects in the case. No arrests have been reported.
Newspapers with comment sections make me sadder:
here [...]

Thanks respectively to Metafilter and friend/reader Carrie for helping me stay current with the happenin’est misogynistic trends around the globe. It’s easy for me to get too comfortable with my gender’s place in the patriarchy, relying on the the glass ceiling and sexual harassment to get the job done. However, women are nothing [...]

LATimes has an article about Southwestern’s “Back to the Future” collegiate level homemaking concentration, entitled- completely not patronizingly at all- “They Love to Do Their Homework.”
This fall, the internationally known seminary — a century-old training ground for Southern Baptists — began reinforcing those traditional gender roles with college classes in homemaking. The academic program, open [...]
