The #AmberRoseSlutWalk: Feminism as Public Celebration of Inchoate Rage

  Before attempting to describe Saturday’s event in Los Angeles — a tawdry carnival of celebrity-driven feminist lunacy — I must first remind you how, when and where the “Slut Walk” movement began. In January 2011, a Toronto police official, Constable Michael Sanguinetti, gave a presentation on the topic of crime prevention at York University, […]

The Intersectional Oppression Derby

Feminist Tumblr is home to strange people: I’m a white, queer, (more specifically bi/pan), 20-something genderweird woman-type person (still figuring out what the deal is with my gender).

A Harvard-Educated Feminist

Sarah Marian Seltzer (@sarahmseltzer) is a feminist and a fool, but I repeat myself. You never heard of her, and I hadn’t, either.

You Had One Job

Jared Rutledge and Jacob Owens. “Our relationship was not based around sex. We went on legitimate dates. I met his friends. We confided in one another.

General: Military ‘Degraded’ by Obama

Barbara Hollingsworth at CNS News reports: The military readiness of the United States is being “degraded by social experimentation,” Maj. Gen. Robert Dees (U.S. Army-Ret.) said Saturday at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.

Some Stereotypes Are True

Somebody on Twitter started the hashtag #NoHymenNoDiamond which was either (a) an extreme argument for premarital abstinence, or (b) another brilliant 4chan satire to troll feminists. It doesn’t matter which it was, because it brought out the feminist crazies, including one who wanted to lecture the world about misogyny and heteronormativity, and another who declared, […]
