Just read a piece in the Huffington Post written by a self-identified feminist who endeavors to explain feminism to a purported audience of feminists who don’t want feminists to explain feminism to them. Author Kat George’s article is titled “Six Things That Definitely Don’t Make You a Bad Feminist.” Like everything published on the internet …

A Child’s Garden of Feminism
Since it doesn’t seem to exist, I thought I might try my hand at writing the elusive feminist primer aimed at a tween audience. Lard knows I’m no kid’s writer, but there’s a hole in the canon there, and nobody else seems to be stepping up, so damn the torpedoes, I’m goin’ in. Here’s what …

Spleenvent Friday: Feminism-as-happiness-destroyer Edition
From the LA Times: A panel about ladies convened by the right-wing Heritage Foundation avers that “feminism is bad because women are not as happy as they used to be.” Discuss. [I’ll check in later from the car repair waiting room, pity me. But before I go, let me just say that of course women …

Internet feminism hurt my feelings, but then I got up offa that thang
After a decade of web-based patriarchy blaming, if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: it is pretty inadvisable to make arguments, oppressionally speaking, that do not take into account the viewpoints of every possible marginalized group, particularly those groups of which one is not personally a member and the specialized interests of which one …

The ensloganed crotch
Consent underwear: it was a pretty amusing idea when it was a consciousness-raising prank perpetrated by arty feminist activist group FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture. The fake Victoria’s Secret website they created purported to hawk undies emblazoned with anti-rape slogans. Everyone on Facebook and Twitter thought it was real for a little while, and the outpouring …

“Rebranding” feminism for dudes “who care that there are two genders”
Have you heard about this “rebranding feminism” contest? I know, right? Again with the rebranding of feminism. Every so often there emerges from the fetid mists some chumpass jacknut who would take a crap on feminism by coopting it as a gimmick to help hawk thigh cream and tampons. The target? Women who sense deep …

“Irrational” feminists cling to patriarchy’s rotting corpse
In the event that you are ever called upon for proof that patriarchy is alive, all you have to do is consult the internet, where there is always a new post arguing that it is dead. Nobody would bother writing such posts if patriarchy had actually died, since that happy contingency could only obtain as …

Shirley there’s nothing more to say on the subject of Radfems vs Trans Women?
I love the smell of a transgender politics dust-up in the morning. Mmmm. I strongly urge those readers for whom transgenderism is problematic to examine the roots of their bigotry, and to consider adopting a more reasoned, tolerant and inclusive platform. For those who are interested in the Savage Death Island argument supporting the right …

Breaking: Elite Dubba-You-O-Em-Ay-Ens Frame Feminist Agenda
Years from now, after the revolution, we’ll look back on these wacky times and laugh (“Feminists with housekeepers and nannies? Bwaa!”), but at present one suffers just a smidge of elite-white-women-and-their-problems fatigue. I allude to the Anne-Marie Slaughter vs. Sheryl Sandberg knife fight over the eternal (since the 1970’s, anyway) question “can women ‘have it …

Hugs, Twisty: Hey I know, let’s chuck some transgenderism chitchat at the wall and see what sticks!
I don’t know if it’s because I’m feeling pretty fresh and minty after having taken a few personal days months, or simply because I’m experiencing a nostalgic hankering for the days of yore when we so often enjoyed polite, pinkies-in-the-air discourse on the topic, but I just couldn’t let this email from an anguished blamer …
