Here’s some good news: Lauredhel of Hoyden About Town has opened up a HollaBack franchise serving Australia’s harassed masses. The “pillocks, numpties, asshats and douchebags of the Australian streets” are hereby on notice.
HollaBack, in case you were on vacation the day Al Gore invented the Internet, is a “global social movement“ consisting of websites that […]

Blamers may have noticed my awkward silence on the topic of Amandagate. Not that the entire bloggofemispheriat has been chewing its nails down to unsightly nubs awaiting my pronouncements on the subject, but I hope it’s not too fanciful to surmise that some of you may have wondered if and when I was gonna step […]
I love Feministing, and I’ll tell you why.
It’s a convenient and obliging source of women’s news. It’s chock full of useful links. It’s a group blog with prodigious updates on current events (in contrast to, say, the gratuitously ornate theorizings of a stone lone crone with a moan-prone tone honing her funnybone on a lime […]
L’esprit du porn
Published April 13th, 2008 in Blogulation, Mass Media and Sexploitation. 75 CommentsFew phrases in the English language generate greater hilarity down at Spinster HQ than “Feminist Porn Awards.”
They have’em in Toronto. What, you don’t remember? Then let us leap together, you and I, down the Femblog Drain of His-tor-eye. Google says it was May of 2006 when Jessica at Feministing published the first “Vixens + Visionaries: […]
If a breach like this happens again I’m gonna have to take steps
Published March 25th, 2008 in Blogulation. 29 CommentsI have just discovered Language Log. And I have to say, I’m flabbergasted on many levels. What’s the matter with all of you? Why have you been keeping this from me for the last six years? Is it because of my views on the ellipsis? Is it because I’m against tiny handbags? Do you hate […]
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 […]

Published March 22nd, 2008 in Continuing exploits of the Celestial Teapot, Blogulation, Godbagism and Easy Persiflage. 12 CommentsOf the vast oceans of commentary occasioned by felonious underworld figure PZ Myers’ recent ironical expulsion from a private screening of a godbag-made anti-evolution film (while, mysteriously, his partner in crime, Richard Dawkins, was allowed to attend unmolested by creationists), none is more whimsically titled than that of sometime blamer PhysioProf, whose post Ridiculous Demented […]
Spinster aunt quotes self
Published March 18th, 2008 in Strawfeminism, Blogulation, Men Hate You and Sexploitation. 51 CommentsTime is short this morning, so today’s item will consist largely of a comment I posted yesterday on Feministing, which comment more or less summarizes my previously published ideas on the concept of “consent” as it relates to women and rape, so those of you who are tired of that crap should probably look for […]
Bacon, I bid you farewell
Published February 18th, 2008 in The megatheocorporatocracy and Blogulation. 135 CommentsBack in the pre-blog Age of Darkness, when I was a callow young feminist in a vacuum who did not enjoy the instantaneous policing of my views by thousands of invisible critics, numerous facets of my worldview were as yet embryonic. If a facet can be said to be embryonic, which I think it probably […]
I’d like to thank everyone who wrote in alerting me to I Blame the Patriarchy’s having been namechecked in the New York Review of Books. I got the word while on some grim business up in North Dallas. Naturally I was interested to see upon which of my blogular morsels the reigning English-language guardians of […]
