As the result of a snippet of commentary found on yesterday’s post, there will be a slight adjustment to the comments policy. The snippet was this: “…dewds insist on encroaching on a blog where they are specifically asked not to comment.” The truth is, men have merely been asked not be fucking pedantic assholes, but …

Animated violence crosses line (real violence still OK)
I so didn’t wan’t to have to think about this, but everyone’s been emailing me about the super-repellent “rape simulator” video game, so here goes nothin. If you haven’t heard about it, you may just want to continue traipsing through your life in blissful ignorance. I’ll be happy to accomodate you. Just watch this odd …

Spinster aunt reads a couple of GoogleAlerts
Once in a while it amuses me to read my Google Alerts for keyword “feminist” as I slurp down my soylent green kombucha. The blog results are always enlightening. A bit of a barometer. If the random blogger is any indication, feminism’s in bad shape, women. Here are two depressing examples from today’s alert email. …

Use it or lose it: humanity vs porn
It was bound to happen. The discussion on the new sexuality post has begun to take a dudely turn; a couple of male commenters started talking about porn-poisoning. For the purposes of blogular discourse, I’ll define porn-poisoning as the universally internalized message that porn = sex = women (or sex = rape = love, or …

Giant centipede of the week
Here at the Twisty Arthropod Lab we have a particular fondness for centipedes. As famed arthropod scientist J. L. Cloudsley-Thompson remarked, “centipedes seem to exert a weird fascination on the morbid appetites of the hysterical and insane.” [cite] This is Scolopendra heros, the Giant Red-Headed Centipede. It is a formidable entity, as venomous as it …

Photo of ex-masturbator from this site. [License] Today I’m launching a new feature that I will probably forget all about and never repeat, like the feature I launched that time about storage tubs.

Women’s Sexuality 2.0
As is my custom of a Saturday morning, I was just settling into a bell hooks essay [1], an aerosol waffle by my side, admiring from the corner of my eye the noble drooling countenance of my golden retriever Bert, when suddenly – But wait a second. bell hooks has reminded me that I was, …

College sophomore is a feminist but
The recent meltdown at the Spinster HQ computer lab took with it the data* Phil and I’d been compiling on that interesting genre of student newspaper essays entitled “I’m not a feminist but.” This loss is a minor tragedy, because if I remember a-right, a pattern was beginning to emerge. And now we’ll have to …

Thursday vagina blogging: open sesame
Vaginismus! That’s right, I said “vaginismus.” It’s that thing where your vagina says “no way, Jose,” and clamps shut, deflecting all comers. According to one quaintly heteronormative phallocentric UK psych site, “vaginismus occurs when the vagina is unable to relax and permit the penetration of the penis during intercourse.”* Other, more progressive sources cite tampons, …
