Quoth blamer Cortney, in response to yesterday’s post on Russia’s new “women’s” vodka: “Bottles are totally phallic!!!!”
One exclamation point per customer, please.
But I’m glad you brought this up. As luck would have it, I am the world’s foremost bottle historian.

Hey ladies: Bummed out? Bend over!
Published March 21st, 2008 in Keep your bias off my gender, Mass Media and Junk Studies. 34 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 […]
School to gay activist students: oppressing homos is an “issue of taste”
Published February 20th, 2008 in Keep your bias off my gender. 22 CommentsI note with no surprise whatsoever that homophobes in positions of authority continue to oppress teenagers in my old hood. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports today on a protest staged by a dozen high school students on the Belleville* courthouse steps.

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 […]
After the Twistolution, ‘hamburger’ will have more meaning than ‘woman’. Burger and onion rings at Phil’s Ice House, North Austin. May 2007.
Yesterday I asked yew-all what the word ‘woman’ means. Thanks to those of you who answered; it was sporting of you, considering that I had just posted a curmudgeonly amendment to the Comment-o-festo consisting […]
Define this
Published May 29th, 2007 in Keep your bias off my gender, Blogulation and Morsel Institute. 187 CommentsOne of the juicy morsels I et yesterday while not reading the blog comments: a multi-cultivar tomato salad with fried goat cheese and about 36 different herbs, made by my sibling Tidy, who, to the undiluted satisfaction of the Faster family palates, has been watching that smarmy Napa dude on The Food Channel.

Thyreocorid bug of the week
Published May 26th, 2007 in Keep your bias off my gender, Mass Media and Varmint Center. 482 CommentsCorimelaena sp. The Twisty Hemiptera Department, May 26, 2007.
I adjourned to the bug paddock to snap this foto after throwing a copy of Newsweek across the room. It’s the May 21 issue, the one with a picture of a baby on the front. The baby is wearing a half pink, half blue wunzy. “The Mystery […]

I forgot, for a few days, that I have a blog. So many bugs to photograph, so many coffee shops to haunt. And let’s face it; is there really anything I can say about patriarchy that I haven’t already […]
Lesbians! Death! Babies!
Published May 10th, 2007 in Keep your bias off my gender and Mass Media. 68 CommentsHow about this for a snappy headline:
Dead sperm donor liable for lesbian child support
What, exactly, is “lesbian child support,” you are undoubtedly asking yourself.

Hating is fun-damental
Published May 10th, 2007 in Keep your bias off my gender and Godbagism. 22 CommentsI just found out that homosexuality is “an unnatural form of prostitution.” A pointy-headed Latvian Roman Catholic poobah, his synapses electrified with secret shibboleths whispered into his crusty ear by the ghost of a dead Jew from the Roman Empire, declined to enlighten the masses as to just what sort of prostitution he does consider […]
