Bitches Be Cray-Cray: A Heteropatriarchal Theory of Non-Transformative Justice

Otherwise known as the Anglo-American common-law tradition, I figure glitzing up the Rule of Law in fancy intellectual jargon might give it the academic oomph necessary to compete with this crazy crap: In the wake of the Trayvon Martin verdict, Chicago has seen several public events and workshops exploring its aftermath. On Aug. 15, queer […]

Well, I Shouldn’t Disappoint Pete

Da Tech Guy is disappointed that I didn’t take up his earlier challenge to address the fakeness of the 1973 Billy Jean King/Bobby Riggs “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match, but as I said, I recognized it as hype at the time. Although I didn’t know the fix was in — because Bobby Riggs owed […]

‘And It Just Blew Up’

Heteropatriarchal slut-shaming? Hell, I thought I was just making fun of a celebrity, until @Andria_XX enlightened me, and she had no idea what hit her when her Twitter timeline blew up with reactions to her Master’s degree in Gender Studies mini-lecture. So now it’s “cyberbullying” and “rage tourism” of which I’m accused. .@rsmccain @AmPowerBlog According […]

In Case You Missed It, @MileyCyrus Got Super-Skanky on the VMAs Last Night

Of course, I didn’t watch MTV’s Video Music Awards, but the morning news shows were running . . . er, highlights of her performance, from which I gather that the name of her latest hit song is, “Do Me in the Butt, Total Stranger, Because I Need Money to Get Me Some Meth.” OK, I’m […]

VIDEO: Sex-Positive Feminist Tearfully Explains: ‘You’re All the Man I Want’

Earlier today, while researching male feminist Professor Hugo Schwyzer, I ran across a video in which a young woman read one of Schwyer’s columns and she had such a purty mouth that when I’d finished writing about Schwyzer I wondered, “Who is that girl?” People sometimes ask me, “Stacy, where do you find all these […]

OK, So This Happened: ‘Male Feminist’ Hugo Schwyzer Is a Psychotic Pervert

“I was pulled away from the computer by the police because someone had called me in as potentially suicidal. . . . “I am periodically suicidal. I have been hospitalized three times in the past month. . . . “Before 1998 I slept with two dozen female students, somewhere in there, it’s a ballpark thing. […]

Tattooed Harlot Sydney Leathers: She’s Totally an Expert on ‘Self-Loathing’

It is rather amusing to recall that when Sydney Leathers was first identified as Anthony Weiner’s sexting partner, some conservatives hesitated to name her, presuming her to be the victim of a predator. Ah, but who was the predator and who was the prey? Her 15 minutes of fame infamy have long since elapsed — […]

‘They Were Lonely and Depressed; Their Symptoms Were Psychosomatic’

In 2006, an Australian physician related his experiences encountering a certain type of female patient: Attractive, successful, mid-20s, complaining of rather vague symptoms. The patient had previously been diagnosed with and treated for a variety of ailments, but was still suffering from anxiety, cramps, etc. A pattern became evident, and the doctor described the typical […]
