Ph'nglui mglw'nafh C'thulhu tTrig R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
Trig still lives, arisen, I suppose, again from that chasm of stone which has shielded him since the sun was young. His accursed city is sunken once more, for the Vigilant sailed over the spot after the April storm; but his ministers on earth still bellow and prance and slay around idol-capped monoliths in lonely places.
He must have been trapped by the sinking whilst within his black abyss, or else the world would by now be screaming with fright and frenzy. Who knows the end? What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men.
A time has come - but I must not and cannot think! Let me pray that, if I do not survive this manuscript, my executors may put caution before audacity and see that it meets no other eye.
Cthulhu mngos rllh'h!!
Let's see, a preacher's wife blows a hole in her husband with a shotgun, claims abuse during her murder trial, and gets custody of her kids after the oldest states "I'm afraid Mom will kill me".
A woman hunts down and kills her five children and women's groups rush to her defense,eventually paying her legal bills and allowing her to avoid prison.
Now this.
Is it any wonder that feminism is finally being shown up for what it is? I look forward to the day when all the paleofeminists are dead and gone.
Ms. Steinem, give it a rest - you and the sick movement you led have no credibility whatsoever.
Thanks for the link. Violence against zombie women is often overlooked in society.
Where are the zombie women shelters, for instance?
Hopefully the bias will end soon, with the VAZWA act scheduled to pass in Congress later this year.
The Surrender.
Tony Bentley's paean to her anal experiences - a sodomy memoir that is a masterpiece.
From her NY Observer interview:
"Oh my goodness," Ms. Bentley said, with some exasperation. "Basically, feminism is a fantastic thing. Feminism made it possible for me to write this book and have it published, O.K.? That’s the bottom line. Within the scope of things, if feminism means pro-women in every way, I’m the ultimate. But I do not call myself a feminist necessarily. It’s not a label I use."
Alas, it is not particularly more interesting to learn that Ms. Bentley has saved the detritus of her anal lovemaking (with a fellow known simply as A-Man) in "a beautiful, tall, round, hand-painted, Chinese lacquered box." Hundreds of used condoms and K-Y: "My treasure," coos the narrator. One woman’s treasure is another’s trash, honey.
... was it wise for her to write, after A-Man penetrates her for the 220th time, that "I want to die with him in my ass"— for at that point, the reader is tempted to agree.
A tour-de-force of one woman's back door journey on the path to anal pleasure and the empowerment of sodomy.
Brava, ma feministe, brava.
The Vagina Monologues.
Monologues. About women's vaginas. What could be more confessional than that?
Does TVM harm women? Inquiring minds want to know.
Just bend over and lube up.
Welcome to Family Court.
Serena is not hot. I do not want to participate in the patriarchal objectification of women.
All the female tennis players are equally plain, and should be judged solely on their performances.
...she gets financially raped and subjected to false accusations the way men have been for decades.
Welcome to the Monkey House, my lesbian sisters.
Elect more women, with their maternity leave issues, their love of socialist programs, their PMS, their PMDD, and other psychological problems? Their hatred of rational thought?
What's an affair compared to that type of ingrained dysfunction?
Women are a majority in this country, and they voted for every person in the government.
Bigoted, bitchy, pathetic pseudowomen like Ms. Anthropia!!!
Let's ignore facts and data and make sexist decisions based on ideology.
After all, that is what feminism is all about.
Drag queens, poor kids, and teenagers from outside of Manhattan proper! Gayness!
The Vagina Monologues
Menopause: The Musical
hmmm, wonder why no one's interested.....
This is an article in Salon.
No one cares or is allowed to present a story from a heterosexual male perspective, per the editor's directive.
mrrrghkkllll....
my last vision is....cheeto crumbs on...your hairy toes....mdrkkklgaaahhh....
With American women living longer and eating a lot more, there is a large, roomy market for plus-sized clothes.
When will the fat-discrimination end?
American women are LARGE and IN CHARGE, and won't take this sitting down (Well, ok, maybe they will. Standing is real tough on the ankles after five minutes or so. Nomnomnomnomnom.)
When my Lulu (a HOT, 49-year old, 488-lb LOVE MACHINE!) revs up her scooter and gets winched into bed, let me tell you - the lovin' goes on forever.
She's a hefty, pannus-lifting, hairy-legged, 488 pound LOVE MACHINE!!!!!
Fortysomething women ROCK!!!!
You're right - fat acceptance is at an all time low on this blog.
Wise up, gents!
Just to add some context, despite her genetic hypertrichosis and her mobility issues (she weighs 455 lbs and gets about using a motorized scooter), she is a kind, wonderful lover and a brilliant companion.
There's nothing wrong with the white, feminist women of America. When my wife starts twirling her moustache and gets a twinkle in her eye, an incredible feeling washes over me.
American white women.
They're the best.
My wife is older than me, and a Women's Studies professor at a prominent East Coast college in Massachusetts.
Together we home-publish a feminist zine (WymynFire) and I lecture at the local rape-crisis center about hegemonic masculinity.
You can take your nubile, feminine younger foreign women any day. There are no better companions in the world for men than older, white, feminist academic American women.
