A man and his son are in a car accident. They are taken to the nearest hospital. The emergency room doctor says, “I can’t operate on this child. This is my son.” Who is the surgeon?
Read More Wage War: It’s time we waged war on the wage warThe conception of this post was one part luck and seven parts desperation. Last week I experienced for the first time in my life, an extreme case of writer’s block. Having gone through seven drafts of ideas, each of poor enough quality or caliber to warrant dismissal, I was at my wits end. With hours […]
Read More The Millennium Legacy: Dragon Tattoos and Social TaboosFew things annoy me as much as the phrase “speak like a lady.” I heard it all the time growing up, but given that I am the daughter of a fighter pilot father and a Spanish mother, my colorful vocabulary was, well, a learned behavior. I never really understood why this was a problem, and […]
Read More Speak Like A LadyGreat Oden’s Raven! This week, I’ve decided to write my Feminist Lens Movie Review about the 2004 comedy, Anchorman. But why Anchorman, you might ask? The answer is two-fold. First, I have a bunch of choices, many of which fall under the horror/action/thriller genres. Anchorman is very different in that regard. Second, despite presenting a […]
Read More The Feminist Lens: Movie ReviewsWith Valentine’s Day right around the corner, the stress love in the air has been almost tangible. Couples and singles alike are making plans, and everyone is mentally, emotionally, and financially preparing for the big day. However, there are some of us who are less-than-stoked about this chocolate-coated celebration. Ladychaotica21 even wrote a post last […]
Read More Love Languages And My Battle With Valentine’s DayI’ve never been one for activist groups. I remember sophomore year in high school a teacher horrified and enraged all of my friends and I at the atrocities being committed in Darfur. Under the idea we could actually end it, (yes we did actually believe we could,) we began holding awareness meetings, which turned into […]
Read More Hope Springs – Men’s Feminism Activist GroupsIn the weeks following the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s decision to lift a near 20 year ban prohibiting women from serving in combat, a wide gap has formed between those for and against this this equal opportunity measure. While many arguments have been brought up and counter argued from both positions, I’d like to highlight […]
Read More Call of Duty: Women in CombatAs many of my readers already know, my blogs often start at the bar. I don’t think this is a coincidence – some of the most interesting conversations of my life happen while sitting in Finnigans at 3:30 on random Friday afternoons. Often after a beer or two, people will start to tell you how […]
Read More Spotting Sexism – The Enemy WithinWhen considering the history of feminist thought, I instinctively picture Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton gathered at the first Seneca Falls Convention to organize for women’s suffrage. Though this was one of the first images of a feminist to which I was exposed, I have recently found that it isn’t the picture of […]
