The equivalent of consent: a couple of prickly pear margs at El Gringo. Dig free rape porn? The Joplin Globe endeavors to give satisfaction. The Missouri paper, whose motto is apparently “It’s your girl. We deliver it,” titillated readers on May 10 (and for all I know it may do this all the time) with …

Blamer Jennifer alerted me to this gambit by Marriott to use the well-known predatory nature of men to their advantage. Marriott proposes to lure women business travelers to their crappy hotel in Grand Rapids with a ‘women-only-no-men-allowed’ floor. There will also be a women-only lounge where women can “relax over a drink without getting hit …

Purple martin hotel. Manor & Chestnut, Austin. May, 2007. Long ago, sometime after the Jurassic wound down but before the auspicious occasion of my birth, purple martins purpled freely o’er the countryside, feasting on succulent mosquitos so that Native Americans wouldn’t have to invent DEET.

Imagine Stingray’s surprise this morning at breakfast when an enormous carnivorous pterodactyl swooped down out of the miasma of Barton Springs Boulevard and made off with her bacon.

To blamers who frequent the I Blame the Patriarchy comments section, Mandos needs no introduction. He’s been posting here off and on for a couple of years, dancing the twinkletoe on the perilous precipice between gadfly and troll, making a nuisance of himself. Occasionally he drops in merely to deposit an ellipsis, but most often …

Homegirl Redneck Mother, who reads the local paper so I don’t have to, has just hipped me to this astonishing bit of Texas jurisprudence: dude murders wife, confesses, says wife asked for it, and walks. “Remember,” Redneck Mother wrote in her email, “when I commented that consent wouldn’t mitigate murder charges?” I remembered. “Silly me,” …

Susan Mitchell, writing in Salon on the oft-smirked-at phenomenon of ‘chemo-brain’, describes it nicely. Memory holes, addled wits, the “quite frequent inability to name common objects [...] : ‘Book.’ ‘Envelope.’ ‘Cup.’” And when I say she describes it nicely, I mean she is nice about it. She betrays little sense of outrage or crapulence when …
You are reading I Blame The Patriarchy, the patriarchy-blaming blog that has been advancing the radical feminist views of Twisty Faster since 2004.
I Blame The Patriarchy is intended for advanced patriarchy-blamers. It is not a feminist primer. See Patriarchy-Blaming the Twisty Way for details.
