My act of resistance? I’m growing out my leg hairs (again) and keeping my legs shut tight against pigs who don’t deserve to taste my love nectar.

In honor of Twisty Faster, my premeditated act of patriarchy-resistance:

Standing at the NARAL Virginia booth at the local fair asking passerby, “Would you like to sign a petition to protect access to birth control?” And having a spirited debate with the fuckard who said that birth control should only be for married people. Or that you just shouldn’t have sex if you don’t want to have kids. I invited him home to share that little tidbit with my husband of 12 years–we’re done having children (two are plenty, thanks) but not so much done having sex.

Here’s to your continued existence!

I’ll dedicate some excellent blaming and resisting to you, Twisty! And to your continued existence.

I will also part my luscious, glistening lips, lick them slowly, roll my eyes back into my head like a zombie, and take a bite of a delicious fish taco!

[…] So, even though the author is trolling when she writes this article, and I promised I’d steer clear of the Patriarchy-Blaming Crowd, I have the following response: […]

Well, I’m giving money to Planned Parenthood. And not having my dad walk me down the aisle, though I am still getting married, which I know is pretty patriarchal. At the age of 35, it just feels ridiculous to have my dad “give me away.” I’ve been out of the house since I was 17, fer cryin’ out loud. I’m my own person, not something he can give away. My mom wasn’t too happy. I don’t know if my dad even gives a damn.

I’ve always been disappointed in my failure to grow a beard. A big beard.

Oh, all right, I’m working on getting the local women’s organizations to back a Serenity Now/Equality Now screening, an effort that will be requiring lots of running round and round soon.

Oh, Zippy! I can’t stop laughing about the goo spattered over the internets from the blowjob brouhaha of 2006. What can I do? Whether or not it did the trick for Twisty, between you and me, old girl — I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. I posit that no woman, since the dawn of the patriarchal co-option of human sexuality, has ever read so many words about fellatio with such wry amusement as I have over the past couple of days. Cheers, Zippy! May the floors be cool against your belly and the ankles of unwary postal workers well within reach.

Is this Dan character your new secretary, since Phil had reportedly quit in defiance awhile back? If so, what qualifications does one need in order to be hired in that position? A love of fizzy, pink “wine”, an ambivalence about BJs, a photogenic bathroom?

I am very glad of your existence and am expecting to be angered, entertained, and inspired by your posts (not that anything you’ve said has angered me, but the things you write about sure do.)
