Sex Trouble: Feminist Androgyny and the Polymorphous Perversity of ‘Queer’
@KayleeSeranada‘s future homecoming reunion? “Genderqueer, as it is, refers to a person who uses various gendered techniques from across partitions in order to either express themselves, prove a political point, or both. “A genderqueer person can have any gender identity, but the mixture and way of combining of that, their gender performance/expression, and their bodily […]
LOL! Time Magazine Suggests Ban on Word ‘Feminist,’ Freakout Ensues
The irony accumulates in layers here: Time isn’t so sure about feminists. For its fourth annual “word banishment poll,” the magazine posted a list of suggested words that should maybe just go away . . . But right smack in the middle of the list is that word so many people are supposedly afraid of: […]
A Lesbian Theory of the Penis

Ross Douthat on the Wendy Davis debacle for Texas Democrats: It should be said, and many people are saying it, that Davis and her team ran a poorer-than-expected campaign overall, and that the allegedly-brilliant team running the Democrats’ new Texas ground game were not in fact so brilliant. But the more important issue, surely, is that […]
UPDATE: @AmandaBynes Is Crazy
This isn’t necessarily news to anyone who has followed the (literally) insane misadventures of Miss Ultimate Starlet Meltdown: Amanda Bynes is flat-out admitting it. She was tired and fell asleep on a couch at her local mall, the Beverly Center. It’s the latest step in the Amanda Bynes journey. She tweeted that she slept there […]
Feminists: They’re Not About the ‘D’
How many times do I have to say feminism is a journey to lesbianism before people start waking up to the truth?
