"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Yes, Ma’am, However …

[Picture removed] OK, my “SlutWalkDC” photos got zapped — blame Joan of Arc — but a guy named Ted got a photo of me taking a photo. As for the girl’s poster, it should be the title of a TV series, or maybe a textbook, but it’s at least a  T-shirt slogan. However, thinking back to […]

WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.

OK, the story that was here is gone. Having heard from the girl in the photo, who made it clear that I misread her “SlutWalk DC” protest sign, I decided that a mere correction was insufficient. Her sign said she “didn’t want to press charges,” and my concern was that the perpetrator (the 24-year-old who […]

Blame Joan of Arc

WASHINGTON, D.C. My photos of “Slutwalk DC” got zapped — “It was a glitch! It was a technical malfunction!” to quote Gus Grissom — while I was trying to load them from the disc of my wife’s camera, which I was using because my faithful pink “Barbie cam” is broken. So you won’t get to […]

Slut Walk: Dumbed-Down Feminism and the Politics of Mindless Protest Chic

Before that Tumblr was deleted (for reasons unknown) former […]

Colin McGinn (D-Philosophy): The New York Times Wants a ‘Debate Over Sexism’

Long story short: Philosophy professor Colin McGinn has resigned from the University of Miami after being accused of sexual harassment by a graduate student. This, according to the New York Times, has caused a “Debate Over Sexism” because most philosophy professors are men and life just sucks for women seeking academic careers in philosophy. Patriarchy, […]

Feminists Silent as ‘Progressive Activist’ Brett Kimberlin Terrorizes His Wife

Brett Kimberlin could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison John Hoge reports today that the reason Tetyana Kimberlin was taken into custody at the end of yesterday’s court hearing in Maryland is that Brett Kimberlin tried to have his estranged wife involuntarily committed for 72-hour psychiatric evaluation. Thankfully, Judge Patricia Mitchell denied […]

Worst. Cartoon. Vagina. EVER.

Here’s the headline: Cartoon Vagina Fights ‘Cultural Stigma’ of Masturbation And I know your first question: “Is this NSFW?” It’s probably OK, unless you start laughing so hard that Diet Pepsi comes out of your nose and gets all over your computer screen. Your second question: “Stacy, how did you find that weird thing?” Well, […]
