What About The Men?
I am an avid reader of your blogs (I think I sent you a FB message once saying something to the effect of “keep fighting the good fight”). I was wondering if you might write up a post some day on how lay men who are not part of this particular struggle can be allies […]
The Bystander Effect
I was just so livid with “my side” this morning that I couldn’t stand to wait to reach out to you until I got to a computer. I just wanted you to know that I do NOT approve of the violent, sexually-charged threats that were made against you. I am so sorry that you have […]
Intersectionality Has Its Limitations
Why is it that heterosexual third-wave feminists understand “intersectionality” when it comes to everyone except Lesbians? You know, Lesbians? Your sisters? Your sisters who love other Women (and by Women, I mean Women – not Trans Women). A friend alerted me to a discussion on the Guerrilla Feminism Facebook page, run by a Woman named […]
A Trans Man Walks Into A Man’s Spa…Have You Heard This One Before?
Meet Levi Pine. Levi is a trans man who lives in Chicago and does union organizing. He seems like a good person. And he’s not trying to invade women-only space, even though I’d welcome him (as he’s actually Female). It’s Levi’s “actual Femaleness” that led Levi to cross my desk. The Windy City Times reports […]
Cisterhood is Powerful
I need to be honest with you, Internet. I am completely bored by the conversation about your gender, your gender identity, your gender expression. I find the endless selfies and YouTube introductory videos disturbing and evidence of a nation in the grips of a narcissistic delusion. I am weary of the hyperbole that any trans-critical […]
I Call It Like I See It
“Being a woman is not about spending thousands I agree, it is about conviction, courage and standing up to patriarchy and the glass ceiling. It is about finding Leda and the Swan disgusting and hating violations of womankind, or indeed mankind. But, transwomen have to work to attain what non trans women have from birth. […]
Alan Leo Bounville Suggests Women Get Over Their Fear…of Rape!
Alan Leo Bounville is walking across the country for the gays and the trans folks. That’s nice. Recently, I enjoyed an exchange with him on Facebook where he minimizes women’s safety concerns and disregards the fact that Gender Identity legislation enshrines sex stereotypes into law. What a “hero.”
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world…
Today is World Toilet Day and pictured above is Lines Napolo from Malawi. She told WaterAid that she has to use a toilet outside where sometimes men stare at her. If you believe that no woman should have to face the Male Gaze while engaged in bodily functions, please share her photo and donate a […]
Watching A Car Accident, In Slow Motion
I’ve always been a fan of those Public Service Announcement, warning drivers not to drink and drive or text and drive. The best ones are from the UK, with slow motion photography to make it clear just how devastating those split-second decisions can be (the moral is, don’t text and drive). Watching the head-on collision […]
You think I just don't understand, but I don't believe you.
