Spinster Aunt HQ was gonna be on holiday for another couple of days, but then I got an email from Apostate. Forget First Lady fashion; this pretty much defines the global humanitarian crisis that we routinely downplay as “patriarchy.”
Hold onto your hats.

Pakistani senator calls killing women “tribal custom”
Published August 30th, 2008 in Mind-blowing, Men Hate You and Femininity. 73 CommentsA day in the life of a patriarchy blamer
Published August 26th, 2008 in Dear god what about the men?, Godbagism, Men Hate You, Mass Media and Femininity. 111 CommentsI can’t go 10 minutes without observing with a curled lip another of patriarchy’s grasping tentacles squeezing the life out of women’s liberation, but here are a few lowlights from my previous 24 hours:
– OK, TV blaming I can do with my obstreperal lobe tied behind my back, but this one sort of stuck out […]
Asinine NPR story of the week
Published August 23rd, 2008 in Politics, The Beauty Ultimatum, Mass Media and Femininity. 69 CommentsIt was inevitable that, while listening to the radio during my semi-annual shower, I would hear an NPR analysis on the outfits worn by the presidential candidates’ wives. Ever on the cutting edge of popular culture, NPR hauled Jackie Kennedy’s ancient stylist out of cryogenic storage to canvass her edgy up-to-the-minute views on politics […]
Aussie mining town seeks ugly women
Published August 20th, 2008 in Mind-blowing, Men Hate You and The Beauty Ultimatum. 84 CommentsThe seriously impaired mayor of Mount Isa is marketing a dude-heavy gender ratio disparity in his Australian outback town as an opportunity for “beauty disadvantaged women.” His idea is that female “ugly ducklings” can utilize the 5-to-1 male outnumberment to “transfer themselves with love and devotion” from hideous lesions on the face of eternity […]
Cardboard jungle causes smoking
Published August 19th, 2008 in The Spinster's Finger on the Pulse of Today, Crazy sexy cancer, Austin and Patriarchy-blaming. 69 CommentsHave you ever, while you were packing into cardboard boxes all your spinster auntly accouterments (I allude to the complete Proust — in French — that you keep on the mantle, as if ; ceramic baby-smoking-a-cig figurine; giant rubber toad; 80’s vintage 4-track w/ gazillion basement recordings on cassette) run out of newspaper? Requiring an […]
When women don’t blame
Published August 16th, 2008 in Women hate you and Patriarchy-blaming. 66 CommentsTo those blamers who are anxious that amateur video with sub-par production values is now the “new format,” be of good cheer. A good spinster aunt knows her strengths. I do not intend to infest the blog with my vulgar extempore prattling on a daily basis.
To those who complain that they prefer essays that take […]
Spinster aunt cuts blogular corners by making another dorky video, this time about her outing to a giant Human Demoralization Center
Published August 13th, 2008 in The megatheocorporatocracy, Easy Persiflage and Austin. 85 CommentsI know, I know, but these video things are way faster than writing, and these days time is of the essence for the spinster aunt. Sadly, because I did this in one take and without any script or rehearsal or talent, I perhaps failed to emphasize my main blaming point, which […]

As long as we’re talking about dudes and kids
Published August 10th, 2008 in Dear god what about the men? and Junk Studies. 36 CommentsThis study, according to eFluxMedia, says “men really adore children.” This bizarre conclusion is apparently derived from data suggesting that more men than women adopt children. The study found that about twice as many men, in fact, adopt kids. From which information the article’s author concludes that the notion of responsibility-shirking men is a “myth,” […]
