  Brains for Breakfast, Brains for Brunch

  If you haven’t seen it already, Smart Girls At the Party is a new online series headed up by Amy Poehler that sincerely and successfully sets out to “celebrate girls who are changing the world by being themselves.”  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  (via Fickle Little Machine)

  Mirren vs. Mystery: Female Trouble

  11.18.08 | Permalink | comment?

  It’s funny when “girls who hate other girls” for “acting like girls” co-opt the aggro stance of feminism and then fail with spectacular fanfare trying to convince the rest of us that they are, indeed, great lovers of women.  Helen Mirren, ladies and gentlemen.
  “I actually won my first Golden Globe for something called Losing Chase. [...]

  Republicunts

  11.14.08 | Permalink | 2 comments

  Last week, the NYT had a brief article headlined, “Young, Republican, and Inspired By Palin.”
  While I legitimately find myself hard pressed to imagine anything more excruciatingly dull than being at once young and republican (riding a stationary bike in total silence inside a basement that has only one cloudy, postcard-sized window?  Stiffly seated in a [...]

  War, Welfare Queens, and the Measure of Capitalist Success (p.1)

  10.27.08 | Permalink | 2 comments

  Over at Inkwell, the blog written by the “Independent Women’s Forum,” yet another instance of a conservative organization masquerading as “bi-partisan” (ladies, please), Allison Kasic says “amen” to a letter sent by a dude named Don Boudreaux of Cafe Hayek to the editors of the Wall Street Journal:
  Robert Inlow writes that “Liberals have been responsible [...]

  Just Kidding, Resume Panic

  10.07.08 | Permalink | 2 comments

  I used to really resent the way racism took shape in America.  It was always a subtext but never a headline, an undercurrent of talking points covered by figures like Hannity or O’Reilly, but rarely brazen enough to show its face. Racism was more coded and harder to decipher, having learned the language of liberation [...]

  WHY DOES EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD SOUND LIKE A LANGOLIER

  08.13.08 | Permalink | comment?

  Do you know how many times a day I think about the Langoliers?

  It wasn’t even a good story! And Balky from Perfect Strangers was in the movie!

  Anatomy of a Bad Feminist

  07.31.08 | Permalink | comment?

  There are a few super-rich points in Slut Machine’s “There is No Such Thing as a Bad Feminist.” For the record, I think it’s a real good post, and there are parts of it I wish she’d dive into further, like on the muddled issue of rape and autonomy, which I want to respond to [...]

  At Least 20 People Approved This Spread

  07.26.08 | Permalink | comment?

  It’s been brought to my attention like eight times today that I didn’t explain what, exactly, about the NYLON picture was wrong. I can only assume this means you didn’t click to enlarge the picture, because it’s almost so uncomfortable, it doesn’t even warrant explaination. Either that, or her ‘bridge partner’ blends in so perfectly [...]

  Hall of Mirrors

  07.25.08 | Permalink | comment?

  I’m actually going to quit being fat. I don’t mean lose weight, I just mean I’m going to start making up fake diets and talking about them all the time and asking you how many calories you burn when you chew celery. I can’t be on this team anymore, of advocating for bodies, if this [...]

  Can a Jezebel Be a Hero? Does a Jezebel even need one?

  07.09.08 | Permalink | comment?

  Well, this was uncomfortable.
  I used to read Jezebel. Less so now; their egos started to irritate me almost as much as the commenters. However:
  The funny thing I see happening here is that these writers are being lauded for their infamously ‘raw honesty’ and willingness to eviscerate themselves/their lives/their psyches for public consumption while also being [...]
