Cardboard jungle causes smoking

Have you ever, while you were packing into cardboard boxes all your spinster auntly accouterments (I allude to the complete Proust — in French — that you keep on the mantle, as if ; ceramic baby-smoking-a-cig figurine; giant rubber toad; 80’s vintage 4-track w/ gazillion basement recordings on cassette) run out of newspaper? Requiring an […]

Oh hell, I got vlogging software.

What a coincidence. SFGate corroborates girly math skillz

It must be true if it’s in SFGate:

Sixteen years after Barbie dolls declared, “Math class is tough!” girls are proving that when it comes to math they are just as tough as boys.
Because even after a sexist toy maker fails to successfully market imbecility, the onus is on girls to “prove” they’re human. In terms […]

Pornulation empowerfulizes us, say humorous ironic hotties

Gawd, remember that hipster burlesque crap from the 90’s? I thought it was over, but no, it lives on. An article in today’s Kansas City Star about a “neo-burlesque” show in town is headlined thusly: “Burlesque’s practitioners find humor, art and feminism in their risqué shows”.
Fun feminism, that is.”Neo” burlesque is funny and ironic, see. […]

Now baby can wear heels in bed, just like Mommy

I haven’t looked, but I suppose tidings of baby’s first high heels have already made the rounds of the feminist blogs. No matter; this ain’t no news blog.
Anyway, what I allude to are these grotesque novelty shoes for infants. Sexy animal prints with spike heels. Thirty-five bucks a pair. Celebrity-endorsed. Blamer Melissa, who rang […]

College junior purports to grasp something

Not to come off as one of those “busy” bloggers who doesn’t have time to write a proper post — that I suck profoundly as a blogger has already been established — but here’s a curious little item from the University of Texas student paper with which I am going to leave you before biffing […]

The Spinster Repore

Because I am the world’s leading authority on world news, I am uniquely qualified to bring you world news from around the world. Let’s go!
Malaysia: The Foreign Minister has proposed that grown women traveling abroad must produce notes from their mommies before being allowed to leave the country alone. This is because drug smugglers like […]

Spinster aunt continues to tiptoe through the treacherous tulips of student newspapers

Today’s selection: The Brandeis Hoot, “Shopping for Truth: Feminist and proud” by Chrissy Callahan, May 2, 2008
I kind of envy Chrissy Callahan, who has carved out something of a college journalism career chronicling the eye-opening revelations she’s experienced simply by paying attention in class. When I was her age all I did was lie around […]

Spinster aunt reads blog, cracks sad smile

If it’s education people need, school must go.
Check out hellonhairylegs’ synopsis of a day spent imprisoned in a modern institution of patriarchal indoctrination.
Of course, it is astonishing to discover that there are any feminists in high school at all. This kid may well survive the dread junior English major year without looking like an ass.

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 myself […]
