“Actress and humanitarian” Eva Longoria philosophizes, in return for money, on how great it is to be beautiful.
Seen the commercial celebrating the heartwarming accomplishments of that woman who hooks up disabled people with service dogs? It’s so nice, because service dogs are expensive, and although it may surprise you, not all disabled people are millionaires […]

Published April 2nd, 2008 in Strawfeminism, Men Hate You and Femininity. 65 CommentsThere’s a virgin at Harvard.
Unusual, perhaps, but still, no big whoop, right?
Wrong! It’s such a big whoop that the New York Times Magazine has run a story on her. In order to vaguely sort of ridicule her. Because no matter what a woman does in this world, it’s the wrong fucking thing. Especially if […]
Feminizers without borders: Moscow edition
Published March 29th, 2008 in The megatheocorporatocracy and Femininity. 45 CommentsPhoto of empowerful vodka originally uploaded at the New York Times.
The persistent feminization of unisex commodities certainly bodes well for Dude Nation; if every day weren’t already a big ole lap dance for patriarchy, I’d say they should book the Diamonds Cabaret and its lineup of prepubescent strippers for a giant Feminism’s-Goin’-Down pole-a-thon. Because the […]
The evangelical pro-life guide to sexy feminism
Published March 25th, 2008 in Strawfeminism and Femininity. 158 CommentsThese remarks from reader Liz conveniently summarize, more or less, my own views on sexy feminism. She begins with quoted text from another commenter.
“Sexy feminism (aka sex-positivism) isn’t about appealing to men and thus perpetuation [sic] the patriarchy through internalized sexism. It’s about claiming our own sexual pleasure and our own bodies. It’s about doing […]
“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.” […]

The annual capitalist pig run-up to Valentine’s Day leaves a particularly repellent aftertaste on the Twisty palate this year, so I will take a moment out of my idyllic agrarian schedule (did I mention that I bought a horse? And that I am considering dropping out of society […]
Sunday storage tub blogging
Published October 21st, 2007 in Dear god what about the men?, Keep your bias off my gender, Femininity, Easy Persiflage and Austin. 62 CommentsSpeaking of tubs and lids! This wacko tableau totally blew my mind!
I’d like to take this opportunity to beg yall’s indulgence for just a little longer while I laze around not blogging. I Blame The Patriarchy, contrary to what longtime blamer MzNicky has suggested, is not dead. It is merely in a coma. I promise […]
The long-awaited labiaplasty update
Published September 4th, 2007 in Men Hate You, Announcements and Femininity. 39 CommentsA chorus of yips went up at Spinster Aunt HQ when the news broke: a couple of national doctor clubs have experienced an uncharacteristic moment of lucidity and come out in opposition to cosmetic vagina surgery. In a Bloomberg report, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reveal […]
Ask a Spinster Aunt: giggling, feminism, and you
Published September 3rd, 2007 in Femininity. 72 CommentsBlamer Alexandra writes:
Q: I was (seriously) wondering: Is it feminist to giggle? I’ve never known a man to giggle. Is giggling a natural thing, or should I blame the patriarchy?
A: You’ve come to the right place, Alexandra! I am Director of Hollow Mirthless Laughter at the Twisty Institute, where I am also widely considered the […]
AntifeministWatch 2007: Ana Marie Cox
Published September 1st, 2007 in Blogulation, Mass Media and Femininity. 32 CommentsLast night I thought I’d do something uncharacteristically current-eventish, and watched McLaughlin on PBS. It was another one of those “are bloggers legitimate journalists/whatever will become of poor print media?” discussions. Counting McLaughlin, the panel was Y-chromosome heavy, with a ratio of four dudes to one woman. The woman, of course, was plucky DC wit […]
