Dominique Bressi, a founding member of Stop Porn Culture, is undertaking an awesome fundraising attempt. Please help her if you can.
What I am doing:
I will be racing in the 2008 Coeur D’Alene Ironman, a distinguished athletic event – one day, one race: swim, bike, run, 140.6 miles. I will be racing in an effort to […]
Dictionaries generally agree that ’sexual’ means something on the order of pertaining to the genital union of a female and a male animal, and that “having sex” is having intercourse — intercourse being defined as the penetration of a vagina by a penis, with ejaculation. My own observation of usage leads me to think […]
I wanted to expand on a comment I left on this post (warning: explicit sexual/violent images) which refers to comments made in this thread. The bits from that latter-linked thread to which I’m responding, specifically:
“the prevalence of domestic violence in the LGBT community [is] NO DIFFERENT than that in the heterosexual community”
“domestic violence […]
Women’s studies, as an institution, as I know it, actively and aggressively supports women in becoming and remaining heterosexual; it actively seeks to encourage women to believe that the personal, political, economic and health problems associated with heterosexuality for women should be struggled with rather than avoided–that these problems are inevitable but more-or-less solvable (with […]
Apparently Dan Savage, the odious sex pox columnist, has reiterated his oh-so-radical stance that fat people are ugly and eat too much, and therefore deserve whatever mistreatment we get–unlike gay people, of which he coincidentally is one, who are just “born that way,” poor them, and don’t deserve to be persecuted.

But, in my opinion, it also means creating a culture of dissent capable of confronting the “plague,” the depth of conditioning that women suffer, one by one, in […]
New issue up: Trivia: Voices of Feminism including this powerful piece by my friend Elliott.
Dear Alyx**:
I’m thrilled that you have a new post (link removed) up! I always look forward to reading your stuff because most often you manage to be hilarious, brilliant, and politically uncompromising all at the same time. Your latest is no exception; it’s a delightful rant.
However, as we radfems are so wont to […]
I was reading over at Twisty’s place the other day and followed her link to an absolutely disgusting and appalling Village Voice article about “fucking” that had me screeching incoherently at the top of my lungs.
