"What HAVE they done to Corrie? Wall-to-wall gays, transsexuals, transvestites and teenage lesbians"

From this fabulous Daily Fail article about a tv show including gay and trans characters. Here are a few other choice passages: "Too far?" asks the Daily Fail Life is gritty; men are tough; in their devious ways women have achieved equality...

Kitadol is a menstrual relief medication. So you get it? Selling a women's health product made by men by appealing to men using advertising made by men? Selling a women's health product by talking about how fucking horrible women are when they're on their period, men deserve fucking medals for dealing with them and not beating the shit out of them.

Homophobes on Twitter

I'm not a Twitter person in any way, but I recently found this thanks to other corners of the Internet- the Homophobes page on Twitter. This page describes itself, "Giving homophobes the attention they're looking for. If you find something homophobic, tweet it to @homophobes!" Here are a few of the homophobic tweets on there: Rhonda should get a free pass on homophobia since gawd told her to

Pwning n00bz

2011-06-17T08:02:00.000-07:00

Pwn is a leetspeak slang term derived from the verb own, as meaning to appropriate or to conquer to gain ownership. The term implies domination or humiliation of a rival (Wiki). If you aren't 12 or a member of the LAN party in your basement, you may not be too familiar with the term pwn. And there's good reason for that; its not used in the professional, mature, real world. But the spirit of it-

Going back through some of my old entries, I can see that I was certainly prone to displaying monumental ignorance when it came to trans issues.

2011-02-14T09:06:00.000-08:00

Why is Valentine's Day sexist? Its sexist mostly because its targeting women by giving them trivial objects, which they supposedly are interested in. In sexist culture, women love chocolate, flowers, and emotionalism, and these are the main things sold in Valentine's Day. Its also a continuation of the dowry, where men give women material objects in trade for the women themselves. In particular

Because female sexuality was not yet believed to exist apart from men, nobody had the suspicions of sexual relationships between women. Lovers consequently could frequently pass for close friends.

Rape is HAWT

2011-01-10T20:19:00.000-08:00

Are mugshots of rapists usually saved under the title "xxxxxxxxxlove"? Gizmodo recently put up an article about a 36 year old woman who raped a 13 year old boy she met on XBox live. Pretty gross, eh? I mean, its rape. Not according to Gizmodo's lovely citizens: ilan354 10:07 PM Ew. She's ugly And obviously if she was better looking it wouldn't be rape? snap_understeer_ftw 09:52 PM kid

Surely by now you have heard of the insanity surrounding the attempted murder of Congressperson Gabrielle Gliffords and several other people. Although the shooter is suspected to be mentally disturbed, many have suspicions that the shooting has come from the Tea Party's radical opposition of liberal politicians themselves, in particular some violent calls-to-arms coming from the insanity that is

Vivian Maier was a street photographer through the 1950s. Her work was discovered in 2009 by chance, in giant storage bins of negatives and undeveloped film rolls. Although she has more than 100,000 photographs, only about 1,000 have been scanned and released to the public. Story of her discovery: Blog of her work

Really, really stupid sexist ad

2011-01-06T09:18:00.000-08:00

Israeli eyeglass store Opticana presents us with this doozy of an ad. Stupid, sexist, and... did I say stupid? I meant earth-shatteringly idiotic. I meant the most incredible and flagrant display of stupidity out there. I meant that I could make a better ad by sticking a paintbrush up my ass. Just. Christ. Stop making ads already, McCann Erickson. Don't put us through any more of this bullshit

ESPN, making women feel welcome

2011-01-03T10:13:00.000-08:00

In a world where the revered players, referees, and announcers are almost exclusively male, ESPN has been working hard to ensure that 51% of the population remains welcome in such a gender segregated world. Sort of. Actually, not at all. From hushing up about rape to keeping their female athletes naked, ESPN doesn't have much of a good track record in feminist practice. Recently, however, some

Man Boobz and insane MRA misogynists

2011-01-02T21:49:00.000-08:00

Man Boobz (an awesome name, I must say) is a feminist blog run by a man. It focuses on the frightening sexism of MRA (Men's Rights Activists). Here is part one post entitled "Murder and Male Resentment" about some insane MRA dude who has decided that a random missing woman who was probably murdered is an evil slut and all women suck and men are the shit. And all. "One of the most disturbing

Original site is here. In Turkish. Google Translate doesn't handle Turkish very well, so I can't tell you much of he background on this. I will add commentary when I can. Working women with children are forced to care for their children and perform their jobs simultaneously. I love this one... two nice rides Plastic surgery. This one is about "honor" killings- the murder of young women by

Women

2011-01-01T17:22:00.000-08:00

Women have the world by the balls. They are pampered, coddled to, and told that they deserve everything without any implication or obligation of giving anything in return. Feminism [has] made [the] crucial mistake [of failing] to take into account the fundamentally self-serving nature of the female gender. [Women are] too greedy, too materialistic, too self-absorbed, too immature...

This photo, repeated ad nauseum to the annoying refrain of "Dog-Human Hybrid! Real or Fake??" or something similar, is actually a piece of artwork by an impressive realist artist- and a female artist, at that. Patricia Paccinini is an Australian hyperrealist artist. She works through several different styles, including photography, sculpture, installation, video, and more. Here are a few more

Becky Yee- "More than a woman"

Becky Yee is a NYC photographer who has worked for such corporations as Rolling Stone, Glamour, and various GQ outlets. She has a photograph series entitled "More than a woman". I will allow the gallery website to explain this exhibit: Photographed in a three-bedroom apartment in the outskirts of Tokyo, the single human occupant, a middle-aged computer engineer. He is the self-proclaimed

Famous for allowing her anorexia-ravaged body to be placed on a billboard advertising Italian fashion brand Nolita, Isabelle Caro has now died, doubtlessly from the disease which affected her since her teenage years. At her worst, at 58 lbs (!), she would eat two squares of chocolate and 5 cornflakes in one day. Rest in peace, Isabelle. NO ANOREXIA from SUGARKANE / Leandro Manuel Emede on

Thanks, Copyranter. Samsung sez, "Real beauty has curves." Like what, nobody asks? Like a woman, of course! Because men have no curves, even well-built men who have serious curves in their lats or pecs. Men aren't beautiful, anyways! I mean, you say beauty and you instantly think of skinny white women amirite! Because isn't that all what we fap to?! Oh and "real beauty" like a woman who... has

Every cook knows that cooking with alcohol will just ensure that the alcohol content is evaporated away. In my alcoholic days, I would never waste good whiskey in baked goods- I would drink it straight, with no ice, just plain, room temperature whiskey. That being said, I can ensure you that women have been enjoying/abusing alcohol for quite some time now- and we don't have to do it in the

From Reuters. In the latest update on how women aren't weak, trembling infants and in fact many are criminals you should fear, a news report from Pakistan comes in revealing that a woman blew herself up in a crowd, murdering 40. The murdered were on their way to a food distribution center run by World Food Program. Sparkles and pink shit this is not. All humans have a strong tendency to evil.

The curtains open, the stage lights flash on, and you see an overused site: beautiful, thin, white, young female models, interacting sexily with the ugliest white middle-aged men. As the disastrous farce continues, you see familiar patterns of sexism and homophobia and good ol Americuhn-nationalism. Enjoy. Other bad Miller Lite ads.

The man had been sexually abusing her since she was six. A medical team in Brazil's northeastern city of Recife performed an abortion on the girl, who was fourth months pregnant. She was carrying twins.
