Feminists: Revel in Your Profound Power...

The brilliant Liss posted this under her “This is So the Worst Thing You’ll Read All Day” at Shakesville, but I must respectfully disagree. This is comedy fuckin’ GOLD.  I want to go though and hug individual lines and phrases (like “New York Times columnist and radical...

What a horrible, horrible place....

I speak, of course, of Seattle, which many of our readers shared information about, and which several residents thereof explicitly asked me to badmouth.  So here goes. Our trip was a  nightmare.  First of all, when I travel someplace, I do research on the weather so I will be prepared.  Seattle is...

Quién Es Más Macho?...

Only Class 4 Rapids can wash away the taint of ladydom. Via QuiteLucid @ Flickr From the WSJ, a feature on the latest craze for Mr. Business and his monied bro-hams:  the mancation! I have no problem with straight dudes (presumably who the article is talking about) going on trips or adventures together. ...

WTF Are These?...

I can’t post a pic here because of copyright issues, but go check these out, then come back. Giant, neutered-and-therefore-male, cyclopes  (yes, that’s the plural)? A bottle opener and a parking meter? Metallic squid? Kang and Kodos? Please, Londoners, Britons, UK residents:  help me understand.

“Porn for Women”: A Rant...

Porn FAIL. A girlfriend recently brought a stack of supposedly cute’n'funny books as a gift for a bridal shower I attended.  One of them was Porn for Women, whose jacket read: Prepare to enter a fantasy world. A world where clothes get folded just so and delicious dinners await. Give the fairer...

This is not a Facebook meme...

But it sure reads like one! Because men and women (er, guys and girls) are two distinct species, there are so many things we don’t know about each other. Girls, especially, are mysterious creatures, but lists can be handy teaching tools. Our spokeswoman, Jane Hoskyn, has leaked one such list to...

Spam for Breakfast...

We get a good troll now and again, but we get mega spam every day, all day.  A lot of it is your typical “hey luv ur site get cheep v1a8ra!” crap,  or “NICE!   chat with singles?” but  occasionally, the randomness of the spamosphere bestows a particular treat. Last night’s...

Troll Poetry 2: Electric Boogaloo...

Last night we received a very special epic prose poem from a troll, one which I thought was unique by virtue of its sheer length and self-conscious dumbassery. Trolly-troll was hoppin’ mad about Queen_George’s guest post about creepy greeting cards for pregnant women. He loves the shit out...

Behold the Eurofug Spectacular!...

Tim sez: I'm concerned... If you’ve read this blog for a while, you’ll know I’m definitely not a slave to fashion. While I can pick out a sexy cocktail dress or a cute jeans-and-t-shirt combo, I don’t consider myself an expert on style. But even I know fug when I see it…and...

Words To Live By (Or Without)...

In an interview she gave to the Daily Mail this weekend, Drew Barrymore was asked about the lack of good movie roles for women over 40. Drew opined: ‘I admit I’ve been fortunate. I’m not at that place yet, age-wise, and maybe when I am I’ll feel that way. But I think, “Get over it! Don’t...

The Most Ridonkulous Op-Ed of 2010: Audr...

I'm glad I saved this image from the last time I posted about Audrey Irvine. When last I wrote about Audrey Irvine, author of the erstwhile CNN column “Relationship Rants”, she was blaming everyone from Beyonce to the US Census for the fact that no one respects unmarried relationships...

Women of the World: Put Out or Die in a ...

SNAAATCH! SNAAAAAAAAATCHHHHH! Okay, okay, that might be a bit of an overstatement.  But check out this Guardian I mean Independent op-ed by Howard Jacobson and try to determine who he hates more: men or women? Jacobson is weighing in on terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (AKA the Crotch Bomber),...
