  “Stacy, where do you find all these crazy feminists?” That question pops up from time to time, as if crazy feminists were rare and it takes some kind of special skill to find them.

‘Body-Positive’ Feminism

Melinda Parrish is a “plus-size” model and that’s totally cool with me. More cushion for the pushin’, as good old boys down home sometimes say. On the other hand, she is promoting a bogus ideology: Just Say ‘No’ to the Beach Body Craze Your body is perfect, just as it is. You don’t need to […]
