Pornography has become one of the most pervasive mediums in our society. Raking in over $13 billion a year, selling sex is a bigger business than professional baseball, basketball, and football combined.

Read More PORN (Did I Grab Your Attention?)This week at the Bitchin’ Table (Which has been on vaction. Sorry everybody!) ecstanton and aliasmitch brain storm a very crazy monstrous creation, and ponder about her ultimate ability to smash some patriarchy.
Read More The Bitchin’ Table: Beware of Feministein!I actually watched this video for the first time on mute in the library, which I think actually worked to it’s advantage. Because, you know… it’s Rihanna. Musical talent aside, this kind of LGBT inclusion in the media is controversial, regardless of which side you’re on. As a feminist, one must raise an eyebrow at […]

Read More Quick hit: My op ed in the Breeze…Stay-At-Home Mom, definition: A mother whose main job is to stay home and take care of her children. We’ve all met this type of mom, right? Many of my friends’ mothers I knew growing up were “stay-at-home moms” and many were awesome parents, but it seems the term has a rather negative connotation. Why is […]
Read More Mythbustin’ Mondays: You Can’t Be a “Stay-At-Home Mom” AND a FeministI must admit, I am mildly obsessed with Carrie Bradshaw and her clan of insane gal pals. I love their independence and amazing sense of style, not to mention their sense of themselves. I recently purchased their latest movie, Sex and the City 2, and one scene stuck out in my mind. Towards the end […]
Read More Sexuality and the Middle Eastern City 2Yeah, so, you know this “political” stuff people have been talking about for some reason since Tuesday? Well, I know they were sort of hard to miss but if you haven’t heard there was midterm elections this past Tuesday. Okay, okay. You’ve caught on to my sarcasm.
