… one in which the lovely Amanda Hess of the Sexist and I actually use the same headline!

So, I used to spend a lot of time arguing about Eminem. It was a very high-school/early-college experience: I wasn’t quite clear on my pro-lady politics at the time, and wasn’t that great at identifying sexism, but somewhere between “Guilty Conscience” (the song about raping and/or killing women in general) and “Kill You” (the song […]

OK, so it doesn’t make sense to have nine zillion Observe & Report posts, because I would actually like to talk about other things, and also because whenever I talk about this I become supremely pissy.

Saletan, light of my life, fire of my blog posts. My sin, my soul: Sa-le-tan. He’s none too fond of the abortions, that fellow! In this edition of the always-anticipated Sexist Beatdown, which is kind of like The McLaughlin Group except there’s no old guy in a plaid suit yelling WRAAAWWWNG! every five seconds, Amanda […]

Welcome back to Abortion Week at Tiger Beatdown! It is kind of like Shark Week, except I didn’t plan it at all, and instead of sharks it has me, reveling in the slaughter of the unborn. So: more exciting than Shark Week, I would think! Today, our Abortion Week programming centers on God. God is […]
