Merseyside Mourns Dead Chicken

Moments after these eggs were fried, a cohort of weeping Liverpudlians arrived on the scene with teddy bears, flowers, and cries of "Jesus loves you, little yolks!"
It turns out that American godbags aren’t the only ones who go to pieces at the thought of motherless embryos.
Distantly apropos of embryos: What is the deal with these […]

Everybody Fucks

The degree of corporate American buttinskitude, when it comes to the human uterus, absolutely boggles the mind. Wal-Mart, one of the largest pharmacies in the US, won’t even stock emergency contraceptive Plan B. And by now we’ve all heard about that Target pharmacist in the primitive settlement of Fenton, Missouri who refused to fill a […]

Cooking Is For Suckas

I’ll get to the cooking part in a second. First, remember how "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age" was going to be the greatest thing ever for women’s rights in that godforsaken hellhole? Well, this dude, the editor of an Afghan women’s lib zine, has been sentenced to two years in the clink for […]

Top UK Ad Exec: “Women Are Crap”

Only some women are crap.
Any number of readers–by which I mean Marianna and Tammy– have expressed an interest in the appalling story of this douchebag, a bigshot UK ad exec who, having opined publicly that women can’t cut it in the advertising world because they "inevitably wimp out and go ’suckle something’ on accounta "they’re […]

Merci Bow-coo

I cannot go another minute without acknowledging the unprecedented generosity of you exquisite patriarchy-blamers who have sent me such diverting reading (and watching, and eating) material. Flea and Naomi and Kathleen and Andrea and Chris and Darky and Jenny and Liza and Stig and Jordan, thank you for Pyongyang, The Elements of Aviation, "Stage Door," […]

Twisty’s Big Night On The Town

Tom DeLay Mugshot Mug
Guess who I saw boozing it up last night at Club DeVille! Norbizness and Lindsay Beyerstein and Amanda Marcotte!  And later, The Ethical Werewolf. And later, a dude whose name I didn’t catch who claimed to be stalking Amanda. We were celebrating Tom Delay’s perp walk, which transpired at the Travis County […]

Friday Leaf Report

As you will have no doubt surmised without any help from me, I have taken a couple of days off to watch the leaves turn.
I kid! The leaves don’t turn in Austin! They just evaporate! My neighbor helps this process along by running her leaf-blower, which sounds like a dentist’s drill, from dawn on […]

Mail

Some of you have intimated that, in view of my recent unpleasantness, you would like to send me diverting pulp fiction or knitted boobs or whatever, and out of embarrassment and a sense of undeservinginity, I have demurred. Since then, however, cooler heads, such as those sprouting from the necks of BitchPhD and Amanda Marcotte, […]

Further Creepiness of North Korea

In North Korea, by all accounts one of the creepiest places on earth, there is no electricity for traffic signals, so they use buff young hotties in miniskirts to direct traffic.

Stupid Holiday

In a nation where one stupid holiday follows another, Halloween is the stupidest. For one thing, it is around this time of year that my bodyguard Stingray starts sniffing around for pies made out of pumpkins. I cannot endorse pumpkin pie, either conceptually or practically. Furthermore, I blame the patriarchy for the proliferation, each October, […]




What is this?

You are reading I Blame The Patriarchy, the patriarchy-blaming blog that advances the radical feminist views of Twisty Faster, a gentleman farmer and spinster aunt eating dinner in Austin, Texas.

I Blame The Patriarchy is intended for advanced patriarchy-blamers. It is not a feminist primer. See Patriarchy-Blaming the Twisty Way for details.
