I Can’t Believe I’m Writing ...

How I Feel Towards Everything About This Post. I want to talk about Kim Kardashian. Well, sorta.  I feel compelled to talk about her, having never seen her show and only knowing about her in a vague, hazy fashion.  And of course all this extravagant-wedding-quickly followed-by-divorce stuff is unignorable.

I (Still) Blame Porn...

Susan Boyle sings her heart out. Via ttom_thgwid @ Flickr.By now, people all over the world know Susan Boyle’s name. They have watched her performance in the qualifying round of Britain’s Got Talent, and she has shown them the light. Sometimes, plain, “overweight” women over...

Womanhood at the Hendricksons’...

Via mediafury @ Flickr Big Love, whose fourth season is airing Sunday nights on HBO right now, took awhile to grow on me. Y’all should be watching it, in my humble opinion, if you’re interested in feminism. When the show first premiered back in 2004, I was skeptical. The sunny colour palette...
