As a Texan lesbo spinster aunt, I am the world’s leading authority on Canadian abortion law, so when I got an mass email from Bonnie Gembey at LEAF Manitoba that said, “Ladies, the Harper government is up to its usual shenanigans again,” I knew just what to do.
I went straight to Google and looked up […]

Published April 22nd, 2008 in Politics, Men Hate You and The State-Owned Uterus. 43 CommentsLet us now turn to an abortion story that ought to be a hoax but isn’t.
And so it came to pass that the Missouri state House gave a big thumbs-up to a bill that, among other things, would require abortion providers to “offer pertinent information” to women 24 hours prior to their procedures.
The actual pertinence […]
It’s all about me
Published March 23rd, 2008 in Strawfeminism, Blogulation and Politics. 141 CommentsI just had a depressing conversation with Stingray, which she began thusly: “Well. It looks like Hillary’s goin’ down.”
She was bummed. Stingray wants a woman president, and she wants her now.
She enlarged on her point. It’s not so much that Hillary’s politics are destroying her, but the fact that, whether she advertises it or not […]
Spinster weighs in on Spitzer
Published March 14th, 2008 in Knobjectivism, Politics, Men Hate You, Mass Media and Sexploitation. 69 CommentsI’ve been away from my desk, but even without having spent the past 4 days jacked into the blogular Matrix of Snipe I know there have already been 57,932 posts about Eliot Spitzer. Here’s 57,933. Sorry.
But the reader can dance the rhumba of relief, because I’m not gonna dwell on the surpassing extent to which […]
An unexpected, but inevitable, post
Published January 11th, 2008 in Politics and Easy Persiflage. 143 CommentsOh heck. I feel like a heel, because I ain’t dead, or all that sick, even. Which leaves pure orneriness as the explanation for the recent paucity of blogular patriarchy-blaming. By which I mean, there are 237 reasons why I haven’t posted in quite a while, but none of them have to do with […]
UterusWatch 2007
Published August 19th, 2007 in Dear god what about the men?, Compulsory pregnancy, Politics and The State-Owned Uterus. 42 CommentsFans of compulsory pregnancy should be pleased that a new law in Missouri, taking effect next week, will put the government all up in women’s business and further solidify the state’s claim to ownership of American uteruses. The law twists the coathanger in several gruesome and trendy directions. For instance, suddenly abortion clinics will have […]
I’m still off duty, but goddammit, some political gasbag on the radio has proclaimed a National Day of Mourning for the murdered Virginia Tech students. On such occasions the first thought that coils up in my obstreperal lobe, ready to spring, is this: oh please.
I hope I don’t shock the delicate reader with my imperfectly […]
Some notes on revolution
Published April 14th, 2007 in Keep your bias off my gender, Politics and Men Hate You. 351 CommentsWhile waiting for my rickety C-1000 super-automatic espresso machine to kick out the morning’s first cup of life-giving mud, I decided to skim through the responses to yesterday’s brief installment in the “Liberal Dudes Are Knobs” series. I was not surprised to see that some of the commentary reflects a somewhat unsophisticated grasp of the […]
Because they function as the flappy lips of patriarchy, newspapers print almost nothing but updates on the crazy men who run the world, sappy sentimental bullshit, and asinine misogynist lies all the time. Yesterday’s Washington Post Op-Ed on the unfitness of women for military service combines all three in one nose-blowingly irritating essay.
In her nonsensical […]

This isn’t the kind of post that drives traffic to the blog since it’s not about blow jobs, but it is nevertheless of some relevance to the patriarchy-blaming community that Mayan Quiché leftist/feminist/Nobel Peace […]
