Yes, It Is a Golden Cow

A golden cow with dude parts:  They are praying to save the economy! WHAT COULD GO WRONG.  

Can You "Spot" the Unnecessary "Quotation" Marks?

You know, when a woman of my persuasion sees that the New York Times has published an obituary for Gerard Damiano, the director of Deep Throat, she really only has two options: to accept that the New York Times will not report Linda Lovelace’s claims that she was beaten, raped, and coerced with threats of […]

Yet Another Reason to Envy Columbia Students

Roy Den Hollander, the man who exists solely to confirm your darkest fears about men who look like Roy Den Hollander, has filed suit against Columbia for having a Women’s Studies program. Here, he explains: “To me, Columbia is a bastion of feminism, a boot camp for turning out feminist stormtroopers who pervert the constitutional […]

Aaron P. Taylor Did Not Rape You. He Deserves a Cookie!

Yes, it’s true: if you are reading this, Aaron P. Taylor of UnCommoN SENSE (“a Blog on Deciphering the Enigma that is Life”) probably did not rape you. (If he did: my apologies. You can put away the baking sheet now.) In fact, Aaron P. Taylor cares so much about rape, and your safety from […]

I Want to Fondle Your Beautiful Mind

I’ve been trying to speak with people lately about genius and gender. Not surprisingly, no-one is taking the bait! This is why one starts a blog – because the issue of whether women can be imagined or understood as “geniuses” is a tricky one. I can’t quite figure it out. Not long ago, I read […]

Del Martin Will Have Her Revenge on California

Do you remember Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon? The really unbelievably adorable old lady activists who founded the Daughters of Bilitis? They got married in California in 2004, and then their marriage was voided, but last June they got married – again – almost instantly after the Supreme Court overturned the ban on same sex […]

When You Think You Are Fucking Up

Think of W.H. Auden. Hannah Arendt reportedly described his living quarters this way: “His slum apartment was so cold that the toilet no longer functioned and he had to use the toilet in the liquor store at the corner.”  Two differences between W.H. Auden and the rest of us: (a) W.H. Auden was one of […]

And Counting

Here is a fact: I have been living on my own (after many years of doing, well, not that) for about a year now. Friends were made! Life lessons were learned! Landlords were avoided! I’ve been rolling these facts over in my mind, trying to understand how my life has changed, and how I have […]
