A Bizarre Blast From the Feminist Past

Researching radical feminism has led me to many strange sources, few of them stranger than For Lesbians Only: A Separatist Anthology, edited by Sarah Lucia Hoagland and Julia Penelope, a 596-page compendium of lunacy published in 1988. Weird ideas leap forth from every page, as if the inmates of a mental health facility had been […]

Feminist Tumblr and the ‘Tampon Tax’

  Behold the irrefutable logic of Feminist Tumblr: Tampons and other ‘feminine hygiene’ products are taxed. Women have to pay taxes just to be able to have our periods. So if any anti feminist complains about women in regards to money (or anything really) just tell him: “As a female tax payer my tampon taxes […]

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

by Smitty The proprietor’s impassive face makes monks seem animated. The bedraggled, alcohol-reeking customer struggles to get the jewelry box from the tote, meaningless baubles spilling over the counter. Exchanges words and money. Leaves. The scene clicks.

America’s Finest Literary Critic Is in Federal Prison, and Rightly So

Damn his atheist soul, but Barrett Brown is an excellent writer. His mistake was to think this qualified him to be an “investigative journalist,” a task for which his heroin addiction probably disqualified him, as if his habit of associating with criminal terrorists were not bad enough. Fortunately for Barrett, he flipped out in September […]

‘The Psychology of Female Objectification’

Harvard University sophomore Lily Calcagnini. “Each time a woman is catcalled, publicly humiliated, and forced to ignore it, the psychology of female objectification becomes evermore seared into the brains of all actors and bystanders involved.
