Ha…I found this in my “who’s viewed me recently” list:
Sure you can find all kinds of guys on match, so below are some of the types of guys who you will probably find on here… (Okay, I am a smarta$$… but it’s fun…)
1. Mr. Pretty Boy: — Hey, he looks good on your arm, […]

More on Feminism/Children

I finally had time to read one of the posts Lauren referenced, and I’m blown away. Molly did a fabulous job of explaining why it’s important to not allow having children to become perceived as a “non-feminist” choice:
I think that the far right, knowing full well that pregnancy and childbirth is something the vast […]

Feminists with Children

Over at Feministe, Lauren wrote about the tendency of some (important word that is, “some”) child-free/childless feminists to look down their noses at parents, specifically at mothers.
A few good sound-bytes:
My identity is not defined by my parenthood, but my life is. Without a child I wouldn’t feel as obligated to work as much as I […]

This one arrived today, in 30-point typeface. I love, love, love the woman who sent it. I hate the email. It’s supposed to be cute. It’s not. It manages to insult both men and women, then expect that we should laugh at it. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Go Fug Yourself is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I mean, c’mon…I’m not a fashionista (although I tried really hard in high school, as some highly-embarassing 1980s-era photos will attest), but some of GFY’s photos show people who beg to be mocked. I’m not above a little mockery. So sue me.

One gal sent this article with the email titled, “Proof that […]

In at least one anti-feminist post, I’ve read people posit that they “used to be feminist, but then [they] had kids.”
What.Ever.
Having a daughter has been an eye-opening experience about gender roles in our society. While I might have some left over baggage from the messages I’ve heard all my life, you’d better damned well […]

I just finished what was a difficult session with my counselor, but one that provided insight into some ideas I believed true (deep down, if not consciously), but hadn’t even considered.
One of the biggest presenting symptoms for me with this current dip into depression is frustration with my seeming inability to get. stuff. done. […]

The Patriarchy Winks

Who the hell picks a username like “DominantDan” anyway?
I am looking for a strong, fiesty spirited submissive who’s willing to challenge my mind, as well as obediently serve her Master for both our needs.
Oh, that’s who. And this person send *me* a wink? Wha…?
