Rehashing Women’s Studies
I added a new link to the side: Sociologists for Women in Society. They’ve issued a report card grading gender parity in academic departments and scholarship at the nation’s universities. Additionally, they note the worst abusers. Check out the report, it is a good read.
A New-To-Me Blog
Femocracy.net is a blog that is new to me. Amanda is the authoress who apologizes to no one and is well informed about the topics she discusses. Her ‘About’ section is as follows: “Femocracy includes commentary about politics, news and the media, with an interest in social issues and civil rights. The site is written […]
Sex in the Classroom
After an odd night with a toxic soul I decided to read some feminist commentary to reassure myself that my principles are accurate and not wrong-headed nor unreasonable. More importantly, to console myself that I am not “crazy,” “nuts,” “unstable,” or “indecisive” like all women are according to the septic tank who spoke so eloquently […]
What is Good Hair?

Did anyone think Jindal sounded particularly folksy tonight? I know he can speak. In fact, we all know he is smart, even if he is a bit crazy with the far right fundamentalist Christianity. Well, actually, why don’t you decide? His response to Obama’s Address: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29374285/ And second, Gov Jindal on Meet the Press: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/29330668#29330668 […]
President Obama’s Address to Congress
I watched the address on The Newshour with Jim Lehrer. Apparently, in his 50 minute address, he was interrupted by applause 52 times (PBS). Did that ever happen to Bush? Did it even happen after 9/11 in the 2002 State of the Union speech? And why are the GOP so sour? Why did Jindal only […]
