For The Racist’s Wishlist

Disney decided to get in on the couture noose racket with The Noose Necklace:

But despite all the race-related, noose-related threats on North American soil in recent months, it’s related to Pirates of the Caribbean so it’s no big deal. Also be on the lookout for the sterling silver SS belt buckle from The Sound […]

God Doesn’t Hate Fags

For the Love of God

Knowing all the good, tolerant Christians that I do, it’s really a shame to stumble on a story like this one:

The Media Collective Gets Sexism in Action

My friend, a professed gadget geek, decided to take his recording equipment on campus and interview drunk passersby on the sidewalk as they come out of the bars on Purdue University’s main strip.

Working With the Enemy

I think Jaclyn’s friend’s boyfriend just got a job with me!
Monday a new guy started at work, and as per company training sat with several people in my department to get an idea of what we do. Within three days he had managed to piss off and offend half a dozen of the people […]

One-Note Hirshman Will Be Around So Long As Shitting On Women Is So Normal We Don’t Notice

Linda Hirshman has learned a lesson or two since her last few major articles have come out — women get irritated when you say they live “lesser lives” when not slogging away for The Man — and she’s tempered her message with a line or two acknowledging the negative messages women get about parenting.

LULZ 154!!!!

The exceptionally TTT discussion board known as Autoadmit has recently come under fire for various reasons, notably their homophobic, misogynistic, anti-semitic, and vile threads immortalized by the Washington Post. In that article the co-founder of the board — defending the use of young women’s personal information on behalf of a beauty contest they’d neither […]
