I’ve been pretty slack with the posting lately. If it makes you all feel any better, I’ve also been slack with uni work, keeping in touch with (most of) my friends and family, slightly slack at my day job, and 100% slack at house work – meaning I haven’t done any in a good long [...]

Dangerous Situations or Paranoia?
Posted in feminism, personal on October 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Over the last couple of months (and possibly longer, but most of my life pre break-up is kind of blurry) I’ve put myself in some not-so-good situations. Some have been detailed in previous posts, some I’ve chosen to keep to myself because of embarrassment at my sheer stupidity, but none have been particularly smart. And [...]
THAT moment

There usually comes a moment in most new relationships or friendships where a feminist realises this new person she’s invested so much time and energy and trust etc in doesn’t view her as a human.*
It’s odd, because we know this to be true of most p-indoctrinated people. Things would not happen the way they do [...]

My cousin (we’ll call her S) is breaking my heart. She is twenty four and has a lot going for her. Except for her dickhead boyfriend. He is not something good in her life and it hurts when I think of the situation she’s currently in.
I recently found out that he has previously cheated on [...]

Wow. I mean, we all knew this kind of attitude existed – feminists have been calling people out for this shit for years. Doesn’t mean I’d expect to see a Judge come out and say it. On the other hand, at least with this crap so blatant and out in the open we have a [...]
My Vagina is a Great Receptionist (apparently)

Ok, I had a serious wtf? moment at work last week.
The Customer Service team here is made up of four young women all between the ages of 19 and 22. Their manager is a 26 year old woman. When they’re short staffed (often), they are helped out either by a junior member of the Settlements [...]
Equal Pay Anyone?

Next time someone says feminism has gone too far, or that it’s no longer relevant, or whatever other bullshit they’re spouting these days, send them here. Or indeed, next time someone asks me why I’m so bitter for someone so young…
Is it seriously 2009??? This is getting freaking ridiculous.
Don’t Feed the Trolls

In some of my recent researching, I’ve stumbled across www.thefrisky.com and absolutely love it. Not every single article is perfect, or stands up to feminist scrutiny, however overall it’s pretty damn awesome.
Now, I know it’s usually considered bad form to respond to a poster on a different site, but given the vile contents of these [...]
Who pays?
Posted in Dating, feminism, personal on July 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’m finding way more conflicts with how I live my life and what I believe as a feminist now that I’m dating. In a relationship, the compromises are less noticeable*, and seemed to occur less often. In dating, I’m noticing compromises every single time I go out with, or even just talk to, a guy. [...]
