Notes from RadFem 2013

Many of you have asked for my impressions of RadFem 2103, a radical feminist conference that recently occurred in London, UK. This was the second conference in a row in London.  I was lucky enough to be able to attend both conferences. I have tried to wait for jet lag to wear off before I […]

Even Though We Disagree We Share A Common Enemy

So Trans and Queer folks have anarchists to help them violently enforce their antiquated notions of gender and their stereotypical views of what a “Woman” is and what a “Man.” How “Anarchist.” So I guess if “Woman” means “Man who says he’s a lady” and “Penis” means “Something that’s on a Woman,” I suppose it […]

My Womb Is Not A Football For You

“Mothers don’t kill their children unless they are very ill,” said Diane Sanford, a psychologist who has written two books on postpartum depression.”They believe they are protecting their children from having a life of misery and suffering.” “Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind.” ― Howard W. Hunter […]

You Think Pronouns Are The Issue?

Cemia “Ci Ci” Dove, also known as Carl Acoff Jr., was a transgender woman killed by someone, brutally, in Cleveland, Ohio. Acoff’s body “was stabbed repeatedly and dumped into a pond, tethered to a block of concrete.” An intentional killing, obviously. The killer did not want anyone to find Ms. Acoff’s body. I will “speculate” that a Man […]

The Shame Is Yours

Let’s assume, for the sake of this discussion, that […]

Apparently, Anonymous is a Homophobic Men’s Rights Activist

Not shockingly, Men’s Rights Activists have descended on this blog since I posted a statement from the organizers of Rad Fem 2013 about the intimidation of the London Irish Centre by MRAs. You can read the comments there to see how violent and paranoid MRAs are. There are more comments I need to scrub of […]

Response from Ubaka Hill on MWMF

Response from Ubaka Hill: I am compelled to respond directly to your direct request that I boycott the MWMF in August 2013. First of all, thank you for showing the courage to take action for what you and others believe is right, just and worthy of a strategy of a boycott as a method to […]

We Don’t Need No Education

One of my all time favorite movies is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Have you seen it? It features the incomparable Peter Sellers (one of my all-time favorite actors, male or female) in four different roles, including Dr. Strangelove, who invented The Bomb. It’s a satire about […]
