The "Demand your orgasm" controversy
Yesterday I reblogged a picture about the double standard when it comes to female orgasms, and included a bunch of reblogged text underneath it because I thought it was all really well written.Today I saw that one of the tumblrs who posted it was getting some interesting feedback from another tumblr who (if I’ve read his comments correctly) was offended by the text and photo. These were his...

– Emma Straub’s piece on My So-Called Life/Rayanne on the Paris Review blog is so, so great.
I agree with this in the sense that my girlfriends and I are all very physical with each other, but I don’t think it’s because of a constant state of arousal that borders on the insane, I just...

– Harriet J on Another post about rape (via archenemies)
I posted a comment response on my blog a little while ago about rape, but this perfectly illustrates the need for guys to ASK FOR CONSENT as opposed to just assuming that the girl consents to whatever he’s doing. A really really great...

Tiger Mothers - crazy? Or...no, wait. just crazy.
Alright so everyone’s been up in arms about this recent Book by Amy Chua called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mothers and I didn’t really care about it until I read the following excerpt, which I’ve linked at the bottom.
This woman is a psycho. Okay, i’m being a bit dramatic.But seriously. If I ever have kids, I’m going to make a conscious effort NEVER TO TURN OUT LIKE...

bipolarbaker asked: I love reading your views on things. So much of which I agree with, however I feel that even the things that we wouldn't agree on you maintain such a respectful stance that I wouldn't be hated. I quite admire you for that.
So what I want to know, who are five people whom you greatly admire? Can be anything, real fictional, male, female. You're choice! Thanks xx

whats up thugs,
I am LOVING this unexpected traffic on my blog. It’s so fun to see guys try and put forth sexist arguments and then tear them down. I love it when someone essentially says, ‘no, but inequality is how it’s supposed to be. you see that, right? right? don’t you?’ as if that’s convincing. Because telling a woman that women aren’t allowed to do...
whoa he linked me on twitter.
his twitter is here: http://twitter.com/rooshv and that explains my traffic.
he wrote:
“A long anti-Roosh piece (she cites my posts like a scholarly journal article)”
Yeahhh,school is useful for something, people! I’m surprised he didn’t insinuate that I was ugly or fat, although to be fair twitter gives you so few words he probably didn’t have room.
So, Roosh - we meet again.
The recent Roosh trolls on thescarletwoman prompted me to head over to his blog and see what was going on over there. Two things I noted:
1. In this post (link at bottom), how Roosh uses the age old, timely and mature ‘YOU’RE UGLY, SO WHAT YOU SAY DOESN’T COUNT’ to refute the article on jezebel and all its comments. All the girls who think you’re a psycho must be fat...

Hey all! For some reason one of my posts about internet personality ‘Roosh’ and his ridiculous sexism is getting a lot of traffic…and trolling!

Something that really disgusts me
Okay ladies. Have you ever been to a bar, or a club, and seen another girl passed out on the couch or on a booth? Sucks, right? You feel bad for her, you’re glad you’re not her…you might try to wake her up or let the bar or club staff know that one of their patrons is incapacitated and in need of a taxi. What you probably haven’t done is pretended to have sex with her as...

Just goes to show how far Palin’s whiteness can take her. Zero intellect, two high school drop-outs, an unwed teen mother, a quitter of the one major job she had. Master of hateful coded language targeting opponents as not “real Americans”. Belongs to a church...

Oh it’s just beyond infuriating.
DUBLIN – A 1997 letter from the Vatican warned Ireland’s Catholic bishops not to report all suspected child-abuse cases to police — a disclosure that victims’ groups described as “the smoking gun” needed to show that the church enforced a worldwide culture of covering up crimes by pedophile priests.
The newly revealed letter, obtained by Irish ...

the golden globes!
I usually don’t watch awards shows but a whole bunch of friends went over to my friend Azrah’s (fullblownspeakers on tumblr) house to watch them, and lo and behold I have some thoughts!
Screencrave.com has an article out right now that talks about how ‘predictable and safe’ the awards were, but I think that’s bullshit - giving james cameron awards for shitty movies...

I was tagged in my ask box to do one of these quizes and since I usually don’t post any real information about myself on here, I thought why not! Under a cut so as not to bore people, haha.
