The blamer will kindly excuse me for today’s lack of megatwistanalysis, but there’s a minor crisis down at the Spinster HQ Ornithology Department. A certain sidekick — I’m not naming names, but it starts with an S and ends with a “ray” — left the back door open last night and this morning I’ve got …
Category Archive: Dear god what about the men?
Men think the feminists will benefit from their unique dudely perspective. But trust me, if there’s anything any woman knows better than the back of her hand, it’s the dudely perspective. So just put a sock in it, bra.

Spinster aunt eradicates male viewpoint
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 …

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 …

A day in the life of a patriarchy blamer
I can’t go 10 minutes without observing with a curled lip another of patriarchy’s grasping tentacles squeezing the life out of women’s liberation, but here are a few lowlights from my previous 24 hours: – OK, TV blaming I can do with my obstreperal lobe tied behind my back, but this one sort of stuck …

As long as we’re talking about dudes and kids
This study, according to eFluxMedia, says “men really adore children.” This bizarre conclusion is apparently derived from data suggesting that more men than women adopt children. The study found that about twice as many men, in fact, adopt kids. From which information the article’s author concludes that the notion of responsibility-shirking men is a “myth,” …

Blamers, coddle the dudes so I don’t have to
If you’re contemplating sending me an email about how my Dear god what about the men?! page is full of nothing but broken links, contemplate no more. Relieve your worried mind. Rest easy. I have been fully apprised. If you are new to this blog: the “Dear god what about the men?!” page contains (now …

Canada anoints dude
Unrelated bucolic photo of the day: my boyfriend Stanley on horse-shoeing day. He doesn’t grow any heel on his left fore. It’s so problematic! Great Scott! Canada has handed out a big gold loving cup to a dude abortion rights activist! That’s right. Dr Henry Morgentaler, pioneer abortion provider, gallops home with an Order of …

I fucking hate men and I blame them for everything
Ha, here’s a guy who thinks that blaming means “blaming.” Ordinarily I wouldn’t mess with fish in a barrel, but I’m sorely pressed for time. I don’t understand a word of this, do you? Do your worst, girls. I swear, I’ll be back soon. I am an MRA, and learned about your blog from an …

Junior English major pooh-poohs anti-violence campaign
When I finally slogged to the end of this essay (on how “average” men are deeply injured by activists who enjoin them to stop raping people), a cold, mirthless laugh erupted from the Twisty obstreperal lobe. The essay was signed “A.J. Cooke, junior English major.” Now it made sense. I was a junior English major …

Obnoxious Female Feminist Korner
This guy, writing at the Guardian, is under the impression that, not only is feminism about “equality,” but that he should be awarded “full membership” in the “feminist movement.” Why? Because of, apparently, his “remarkable imagination and sense of empathy.” Yeah, and I’ll be a woman of color blogger, too. Opinionator Khaled Diab purports to …
