The boundless American appetite for the agony of strangers in crisis
According to the Blametariat, irrational fear of crows is a thing. Spinster aunts are award-nominated experts on irrationality, but this crow dealio was news to us down at HQ, where the tragic dearth of crows has long been lamented, especially since recently screening a PBS documentary on the extraordinary intellective powers of these birds. Still, …

Death by femininity, again
If only pornography was just dirty pictures. That would still be bad, but not as bad as the real actual truth. Pornography — that is, the graphic representation of violence against women — is in fact like unto a thick, noxious gas percolating through every conceivable stratum of human culture.

A pity there isn’t an antisocial network
I’m not sure why, but I Blame the Patriarchy is now on Facebook. Got some ultra-feminist thingy on your mind? Go on over and spew.

Sunday Morning Hurl: Mama Grizzlies
What the Mama Grizzly is wearing this season. From SarahPAC video. Whenever a right-wing woman — any right-wing woman — claims to be a feminist, she doesn’t do it in a vacuum.

LA Times publishes article about woman; global reserves of sexist stereotypes dangerously depleted
In the news: a woman known as Anna Chapman is accused of being some sort of Russian spy (Russian spy? Seriously? I didn’t realize we still had those. It’s comforting to know that at least some beloved artifacts from my idyllic Cold War childhood endure). This LA Times story, the gist of which is gripping …

Citizens of the Poconos, unite against slutty teen rape victims!
It’s heartwarming, our pretty society’s outpouring of love for little girls.
