Straight from the Wide World of WTF, we get wind of some wildly stupid fetus fetishism from Eastern Europe: “An incredible project of law was presented before the parliament of Ukraine: banning the missionary position in sexual relations.” That was the headline on Actualidad RT. The authors of this controversial

Dear Harper Government™: Fuck You. Love, Quebec.
And thanks so much for forgetting the Montréal Massacre, too. It only took you bastards 23 years to set us collectively back half a century. Bray-fucking-vo. Meanwhile, les Québécois(es) se souviennent: On a day the government fulfilled a long-standing goal and saw legislation to destroy the federal long-gun registry set

She was 82. Here is one of her many great, necessary poems that holds up a mirror to her own country: Sleep well, great lady. Blessed be thy name!

Peggy Nash, here’s lookin’ at you.

Two nicely naughty young ladies play a lovely ditty for the Pigman. Say, maybe he can use THIS as bumper music, now that everyone he WAS using is telling him to fuck the hell off.
Continue readingHappy Women’s Day. Have you found YOUR feminism today?
Don’t you love that ad? I sure do. It’s a timely reminder of just what we’re all up against. Here’s another: ThinkProgress was being a little low-ball on the count there, because I spotted WAY more than just 70 sexist smears coming out of that juddering piehole. Didja notice that
Continue readingA few random thoughts about whores
Before we begin, a little mood music: Ah. Thank you so much for that lovely music (and that uncharacteristic truthfulness), Mr. Limbaugh. So, Rush…how’s it feel to be at the bottom of your own shit-avalanche for a change? Fun, eh? Yeah, you really had everybody going there, with your “absurdist”
Continue readingHeroes for Today: Sandra Fluke, standing tall for women
Watch this video in its entirety and see if you can find anything about this bright young woman that would justify the Pigman, Rush Limbaugh, in calling her a slut simply for asking that her Catholic university provide birth control pills to female students who need them for medical reasons:
Continue readingStupid Sex (Hater) Tricks: Amend THIS, motherfuckers!
Actually, I think female orgasms should be written into EVERY constitution. (You’ll note as well that the would-be legislators totally forgot the clitoris, which is made for nothing BUT pleasure, as it serves no reproductive purpose whatsoever. And that’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it. Uh-huh, uh-huh.)
Continue readingWho knows more about women’s health than women?
These guys do: Women’s Health Experts Speak Out from Judd Nelson Because when a middle-aged (or older) man tells you to put an aspirin between your knees, you know he knows what he’s talkin’ about. Right, ladies?
Continue readingZut alors! Plus de “mademoiselle”!
Ah, oui. C’est fini, l’ennui: The term “mademoiselle” is about to disappear from French paperwork. Under pressure from campaigners, the government has decided that women will not have to choose how to describe themselves on official documents. Unlike men, women have been forced to choose between a married “madame” or
Continue readingEvo, the ladykiller?
It may be carnival time (and thus, the silly season) in Bolivia, but apparently some don’t find anything funny about it…or at least, not the way the president comported himself during Friday’s kick-off celebrations: Opposition legislators and feminists criticized the Bolivian president, Evo Morales, for participating in a carnival party
Continue readingStupid (Anti-)Sex Tricks: The American Lie League, and other hilarious crapagandroids
Need a good laugh tonight? Here ya go: Mmmmmm, penis cupcakes and vagina macaroons! Yummy! Jezebel calls this “the most hilariously lewd thing you’ll ever see”, and they’re not far from the truth. This hysterical video inadvertently gives away the makers’ own creepy fetishes. Calling Planned Parenthood a pusher of
Continue readingStupid Sex(ist) Tricks: Why I will never be a vegan
Aside from the serious health concerns they blithely neglect to mention in their quest to turn the whole world vegan, PETA also engages in false, deceptive and highly offensive advertising that’s downright abusive to women: There is so much wrong with this ad. What kind of man is so sexually
Continue readingRomance or misogyny?
Sometimes, it’s SO hard to tell, eh? No, this is not to make 18-year-olds look particularly appealing, or older-than-thou women especially alluring. It relies on some pretty mindless stereotyping of women of ALL ages. And while we’re on the subject of mindless stereotyping, how about those romantic comedies? Most of
Continue readingOMG, Adele is adorable!
Pardon my gush, but it’s true. She really IS a doll. She’s funny, she’s unpretentious, she’s blessedly drama-free in spite of everything she’s been through (how many pop stars can you say THAT about?), and she’s smart and nice, too. Oh, and she’s got the cutest accent — says fink
Continue readingThis is what same-sex marriage sanity sounds like
Isn’t it wonderful when human rights win out over simply toeing the party line? This is Maureen Walsh, a Republican state representative from Walla Walla, Washington, speaking out beautifully for same-sex marriage rights both as a widow with happy memories of her own marriage, and as the mother of a

Two obnoxious, hateful, right-wing “family” things went bye-bye today: Karen Fucking Handel from the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and the last faint flicker of hope for Prop Hate in California. I’m sure neither will be sadly missed.
Continue readingNo more fucking Pink Things
I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor. And I have just sworn never again to buy another “Pink for the Cure” (or whatever they call it) thing. Not that I don’t love my pink long-sleeved Columbia t-shirt, or my pink lipsticks (all 11 of ‘em), but this whole

Jenyne Butterfly shows what a world-champion pole dancer looks like. No platforms, no sequins, no lingerie, no raunch; just really good (and seriously sexy!) stuff. Yesterday, as part of my ongoing informal research into the world of a Mexican book I’m translating, I posted some videos of pole dancers in
