After receiving many an e-mail and comment on the subject (and: thanks, e-mailers!) the Dworkin Thread of Doom has now been re-opened. I will be moderating comments so that it can stay productive, as it was for the majority of its run last week. Ad hominem/ad feminam/your-sexing-is-invalid/I’m-bored-let’s-have-a-yelling-party-on-the-Internet arguments will be deleted, regardless of whether or […]

Oh, advertising firms. How much do you just not like women? Hold up! Don’t answer: I know this. The answer is, “a lot! Advertising firms dislike women, a lot.” They dislike them so much, in fact, that they have inspired this spec script for my new hit TV drama, Mad Men: The Next Generation: Jean-Luc […]

NOTE: I, Sady, have been begging C.L. Minou – who runs the excellent, must-add-to-RSS-feed blog The Second Awakening – to write a guest post for Tiger Beatdown since approximately forever. Today is the day my dreams – and yours, reader – come true! Trans people can get pretty jaded about our representation in the media–whether […]

Ah, music. It makes the people! Come together! Music: [it] mix[es] the bourgeois! And the rebel!

You know, my fellow lady-people, it has been a bit stressful around the old Tiger Beatdown lately. The post window: it glowers at me. It is like, WHO WILL YOU PISS OFF NEXT, LADY???? And I am like, “well, no-one, unless they learn about my vicious dog-on-baby-fighting ring.” Oh, no! Wait! I meant, “my extensive […]

I just deleted a bunch of really nice comments! If your comment just doesn’t show up: I accidentally deleted it! I am sorry! I love you! Snobographer, Fllewellyn, the person who compared me to T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics (AT LAST MY LIFE’S GOAL HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED), a whole bunch of people who had really smart […]

It’s me, Sady. Yes! That’s right! ME! One of the many women who has no doubt caused you to wish that you could rise, as a vengeful spirit, to haunt and torment your critics! Well, good news for you, Andrea: that is kind of exactly what happened to me this past weekend, when I tried […]

Friends, today is the day I have spent talking. Talking, about how to personify feminism in one’s personal life! Can you do it? Can you do it PERFECTLY? I cannot! Well, here is a relief for me: Angelina Jolie has been scientifically discovered to embody literally every facet of feminism, PERFECTLY, within herself. This was […]

Friends, I received a comment today! A comment that was six hundred and fifty-one words long! Now, normally I would just be like, “whoops, looks like someone doesn’t know how ‘blogs’ work.” (Did you know, Commenter, that there are whole websites that you can create specifically for the purpose of posting your various thoughts on […]
