Published July 31st, 2008 in Knobjectivism, Keep your bias off my gender and Mass Media. 48 CommentsBreaking! Some famous guy said something! Must credit Famous Soviet Athlete!
Published July 29th, 2008 in Mass Media and Sexploitation. 42 CommentsTo further accentuate my laziness, in lieu of an original post, I reproduce here in its entirety an email from Famous Soviet Athlete. She suggests, for my viewing pleasure, a YouTube interview with Noam Chomsky, about Noam Chomksy’s 2004 (or 2005) interview in Hustler magazine.
Not to applaud him for stating the obvious or anything, but […]

Spinster aunt wipes tear from eye
Published July 24th, 2008 in Art is my LIFE, Men Hate You, The Beauty Ultimatum and Sexploitation. 61 CommentsOver this morning’s coffee I had the pleasure of reading about the arrest of a Nova Scotia groper. And by “pleasure” I mean “blechy feeling.”
Oh, this groper isn’t any different from all the other gropers I’ve read about during my long career of groper-blaming: young Doug Schrader flits about the countryside feeling up women and […]
Sisters ordainin’ it for themselves, part 2
Published July 23rd, 2008 in The megatheocorporatocracy and Godbagism. 21 CommentsIt is difficult for an atheist such as myself to get too worked up over the internecine squabbles of various religious sects.

Even when they’re not overtly oppressing women — although I’ve never met a religion that wasn’t — […]

Published July 20th, 2008 in The Spinster's Finger on the Pulse of Today, Women hate you, Sexploitation and Femininity. 148 CommentsGawd, remember that hipster burlesque crap from the 90’s? I thought it was over, but no, it lives on. An article in today’s Kansas City Star about a “neo-burlesque” show in town is headlined thusly: “Burlesque’s practitioners find humor, art and feminism in their risqué shows”.

Musical interlude with Nellie McKay
Published July 19th, 2008 in Art is my LIFE and The Poetical Blamer. 26 CommentsI was sitting around in my interior designer Ed’s studio yesterday. In willing compliance with my request to help me “funny up” the new Spinster HQ at El Rancho Deluxe, he was showing me pictures of some offbeat lamps for my office. One of these was a white plastic Venus de Milo bust that glows […]
