If you haven’t already stumbled across conservative columnist Kathleen Parker’s article on Sarah Palin’s total incompetence for the position of Vice-President of the United States, check it out.
And now she’s shocked, shocked I see, to find that she is getting hate mail for having written it:
Speak Correctly
Or build a big bunker.

Antigone, our happily married blogger, upon posting her wedding pics:

I would also hope that this would not undermine any credibility I have as a feminist, based on my appearance (for good or for ill), but again I have no guarantee of that. I always thought that people who put their photos out there (particularly [...]

I recently wrote a review of Glenn Sacks’ “men’s rights” blog, and in this review I alluded to an experience I had some years back on another “men’s rights” site. As it turns out, the “men’s rights” blogosphere is an even smaller world than the feminist blogosphere is, and the long and short of [...]

Seriously, I can’t improve on it. It’s pretty much a complete list of all the talking points I hit when I was venting to my boyfriend last night about Teh Palin, except it’s way better written. Check it out.

By the way, if you haven’t watched any of Amanda and Marc’s new series, RH Reality Check, please do so now. They’re really great. I am so proud.
(They’re on YouTube, too, for any who might have trouble with Vimeo.)
Normally, Our Glorious Founder Punkass Marc does his magic behind the camera, but he makes a [...]

I’ve always had a soft spot for Gloria Steinem. She is more of my grandmother’s generation than my mother’s, but when I was growing up surrounded by issues of Ms. Magazine, the cover pictures of Gloria reminded me so much of my mom–tall and slender with long, straight blonde hair and glasses–when I was [...]

This was hard to believe. I had to check twice to make sure it was really Time magazine and not some clever decoy, you know, like “crisis pregnancy” centers like to pull when they set up facilities next to a Planned Parenthood clinic and call themselves something like “The Planning for Parenthood Center” to [...]

(Part One is here.)
This entire blog post was actually supposed to be a comment, in response to another commenter’s question on my take on sex work and its inherent feminism or lack thereof. However, once I started writing said comment, it became clear that I had WAY too much to say on the topic [...]

The DNC seems to be bringing out all the protesters. Including the protesters who feel that both the number of (1) women killed by a lack of access to reproductive healthcare, and (2) the number of car accidents stemming from drivers being distracted by giant fetuses, are far below what we, as a nation, could [...]

In my inbox today:
Dear Lisa,
You have joined us in standing up for women’s health in the past, so I wanted to give you an update on the latest news. Yesterday afternoon, the Department of Health and Human Services issued the latest version of their health care regulations. The latest draft proves once again the Bush [...]

For anyone who thinks that “feminism” as a practiced theory is narrow in either scope or defintion and that “feminists” are pretty much six-of-one-half-a-dozen-of-the-other—not even clooooose. F’rinstance, recently on our very own PunkAssBlog, one of our feminist posters (violet) told off (in a kinder and gentler fashion, of course) one of our other feminist [...]

I’ve gotten to take a long sabbatical from these guys, but the endless round of business trips has now claimed yet another casualty in my life; my hormonal contraception. Impressively, in spite of being away from home on short notice on a regular basis for days at a time for more than a year [...]
