Sexist Beatdown: Liar Liar Balls on Fire Edition

Ah, Sexism. It is a continuing force for ill in our society today! Most recently, all the ladies and dudes who care about Sexism were shocked and moved by the story of one James Chartrand, a lady who adopted a man’s name for her writing and was instantly hired more often, paid more money, complimented […]

Broadsheet’s Woman/Person/Unbelievable Cartoon-Looking Death-Heel-Wearer of the Year

Yes, everyone picked Gaga. And so did I! For, although my responsible side says Hillary, my soul cries out that it wants your love and it wants your revenge. And so does yours. Admit it.

And Now I Am Your Women’s Studies Professor: The Tiger Beatdown Book List

Say! You know what happened to me last night? I got an e-mail! It was from someone named Lily (hi, Lily!) who reads the blog. And she had a very reasonable request, which was: can you, Sady, provide me with a list of books to read? Books that have seriously informed you, or that are […]

Presenting: THINGS THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE MILLIONARES WERE BOOKED. Lilith Fair Edition!

Do you hear that sound, ladies? The indescribably gentle sound of Canadian acoustic guitars on the breeze? Strum, strum, strum… it is the music of the heart!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I Am All Over The Internet. You, Apparently, Are Not.

So! A while back, I was having a conversation with a friend about why I do not actually link to every single thing I write elsewhere on this blog. And I was just like, “it is on Feministe! Or, sometimes, the Guardian! You read both those things, right?” And she was like, “yes, I do, […]

Well, hello there! I am sure you are all still getting over the excitement that was Sady’s Internet Blackout ’09 (what’s that you say? You didn’t notice?

A Purloined Girlhood I: Say Anything… except Sexism?

You have an odd relationship to the past when you’ve transitioned. There’s barriers, thresholds, hesitations. Things Not Wanted To Be Said. Occasionally, misdirection and dodging. It can get…complicated. You see, I am a woman in her thirties Without A Past–or at least, Without An Adolescence. There are times I don’t regret not having had a […]

Sexist Beatdown: Tiger and Cheetah Edition

You know what’s fun? Cute animal names for people behavior! It is like dressing a dog up in a little outfit, but in reverse. So adorable! “Older” ladies who date younger dudes are “cougars,” and younger “older” ladies who date younger dudes are “pumas,” and people who date people their own age are “yaks,” and […]
