Yay for throwing up! Wait, no, I meant for the other stuff.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Bitch magazine had a great post about Pete Campbell in Mad Men, which is spoilery if you haven't seen the episode. This is pursuant to the rape conversation. And I love the link, Teppy!
Good luck, Ginger!
Yay, Barb. Barfing is ok. I hope you get the house.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Unsurprisingly, the comments on that article are repellent.
Fucking MRAs.

Wishing you houses, Barb!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
That was a very well-written article. I was particularly taken with the part about respecting a woman's right to set her own boundaries, and how it's perceived if they're ignored.
I occasionally have conversations with The Boy that blow his mind, w/r/t what it's like to live as a woman. I asked him once what he does when he leaves a store alone in the evening and heads across the parking lot for his car.
"What do you mean? I go get in my car."
"I look around the lot quickly, so as not to be obvious, to see if there's anyone just sort of lurking about. I have my keys in my hand, held in a jabby-ready position. As I get closer to my car, depending on how many cars are parked around it, I make a wide berth and try to eyeball underneath the cars, as well as the row of cars on the passenger side of where I'm parked. I don't put stuff in the trunk, because I don't want to wait; I open the driver's side door, toss in my bags, get in, start the car, and drive away immediately, buckling my seat belt and locking my door as I do."
"...At the *mall*???"
"You damn betcha."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had that conversation with my husband about shutting the garage door and being aware of other cars around.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My friend Jude says that the only way that there will ever be true gender equality is when a woman can feel as safe walking down a dark street by herself as a man typically does. There's a lot of sense in that.

Not to mention all the times I've been waking down the street, minding my own business, Being A Woman In Public, when some guy will catcall or yell something out of a car. Obviously I ignore this, which is then followed up with, "I was just TRYING TO TALK TO YOU, BITCH!!!"
Yeah, because yelling at a stranger out of a moving car is the preferred method of initating discourse with someone.
