I just had a depressing conversation with Stingray, which she began thusly: “Well. It looks like Hillary’s goin’ down.”
She was bummed. Stingray wants a woman president, and she wants her now.
She enlarged on her point. It’s not so much that Hillary’s politics are destroying her, but the fact that, whether she advertises it or not […]

Published March 22nd, 2008 in Continuing exploits of the Celestial Teapot, Blogulation, Godbagism and Easy Persiflage. 12 CommentsOf the vast oceans of commentary occasioned by felonious underworld figure PZ Myers’ recent ironical expulsion from a private screening of a godbag-made anti-evolution film (while, mysteriously, his partner in crime, Richard Dawkins, was allowed to attend unmolested by creationists), none is more whimsically titled than that of sometime blamer PhysioProf, whose post Ridiculous Demented […]
A short history of banana-mongering in the late 20th century
Published March 22nd, 2008 in The megatheocorporatocracy. 17 CommentsAs the spinster aunt knows too well, a committed blamer can turn up almost any rock, take a step back, and watch in flabby-jawed horror as the slimy offenses against truth and beauty — in some of which we are ourselves complicit — come scuttling out, blinking in the dimming sun.
Take bananas.

Hey ladies: Bummed out? Bend over!
Published March 21st, 2008 in Keep your bias off my gender, Mass Media and Junk Studies. 36 CommentsMany sciencey researchers, if my Blaming Alert inbox is any indication, like nothing better than studying the mystifying sexual habits of women. Likewise, news editors like nothing better than to summarize this research in cornball patriarchy-friendly terms that even their readers can understand. Take today’s study, which purports to conclude, among other things, that depressed […]
“Noted female authorette” won’t “vote with vagina”
Published March 21st, 2008 in Knobjectivism and Femininity. 46 CommentsWhen Oprah minion/lapsed Jew/”spiritual activist” Marianne Williamson isn’t penning such inspirational classics as Emma and Mommy Talk to God and Enchanted Love: The Mystical Power of Intimate Relationships, she’s appearing on Rush Limbaugh — yeah, I thought he was dead, too, or at least in some sort of home — to explain “real feminist values.” […]
From the science-isn’t-an-exact-science department:
A 78-year-old German woman went into the hospital last month to have surgery on her leg. Because of a mixup, Frankenpost reports that she left the Hochfranken-Klinik in Münchberg, Germany, with an artificial anus. [link]

Spinster aunt quotes self
Published March 18th, 2008 in Strawfeminism, Blogulation, Men Hate You and Sexploitation. 52 CommentsTime is short this morning, so today’s item will consist largely of a comment I posted yesterday on Feministing, which comment more or less summarizes my previously published ideas on the concept of “consent” as it relates to women and rape, so those of you who are tired of that crap should probably look for […]
Ex-journalist blames patriarchy
Published March 17th, 2008 in Men Hate You, Mass Media and Sexploitation. 15 CommentsIf “So what about some good news, Twisty?” is your constant refrain, today is your lucky day. Now don’t get too excited, it’s not like Dripping Springs, TX has passed a resolution banning the word “Lady” from its high school sports team or anything. But here’s a piece in the Vancouver Sun drawing attention to […]
