Today I’ll be ripping off Emma of Gendergeek, who last week remarked on a cultural abnormality that, coincidentally, has also been gnawing away at my own once-zesty gusto. What she said was this: “it’s very uncool to be opposed to lapdancing bars.â€
That’s strip clubs to us Americans. I don’t know what they’re called in other […]

The Five Lesbians of the 20th Century
Do you ever read this dweeb Neil Steinberg’s column in the The New York Daily News? Don’t! I never did until this morning, thinking to myself, why read this crap, when I still haven’t finished The Brothers K? But today, there it was. Where else, as Texas novelty gubernatorial […]
My extremely advanced puppy Bert executing the fatally cute rollover-on-command.
Very few people, which is to say nobody, have ever nudged their chum in the ribs with their elbow and said, “Golly, there goes Twisty Faster, Girl Reporter!†That’s because I’m pretty much always the second-to-the-last horse out of the gate when it comes to breaking […]

Many’s the time the young niece has implored me, as I dandle her on one knee and a margarita on the other (wonder no […]

Bertie attempts to disarm the paparazzi
Nary a day goes by in the life of a professional patriarchy-blamer but what she is called upon to belch forth her views on sleaze. Mine, congealed here in an easy-to-swallow gelcap, are these: porn is the direct result of misogyny, and also begets misogyny, which makes it a D-FOP […]
