Sady Doyle started Tiger Beatdown in September 2008, because she was bored, and also for some reason no-one wanted to publish her various long-winded ramblings on gender. Since then, she has conned various sectors of the Internet into publishing all sorts of various long-winded ramblings on gender, and has also gotten one or two of them into newspapers and/or magazines! However, her heart belongs to Tiger Beatdown, because she started it, and also this place has basically no standards. She is chief spell-checker and click-publish-button-on-er around here, and all the typos or goofs you see are basically her fault. But she’s still a very nice person!
Here are some places that you might have seen Sady Doyle on the Internet and/or in your magazine:
- The Guardian’s Comment is Free and CIF America!
- Bitch!
- Salon’s Broadsheet!
- The American Prospect! (And it was on PAPER, too. Double excitement!)
- The Awl!
- Slate’s DoubleX!
- The Atlantic’s Culture Channel!
Sady also conducts a weekly GChat summit on the lady issues of the day with Amanda Hess of Washington City Paper’s The Sexist, which for some reason Amanda finds un-embarrassing enough to post to that fine and far-more-legitimate blog. is also an editor at the very amazing ladyblog Feministe. Mostly she wrote about LOST, but now that it is over, she will have to find some other way to be useful.
Furthermore, against the advice of those who know and care about her, Sady Doyle has appeared and/or spoken numerous times in public! She was on a panel on “Debunking the Virginity Ideal” at Harvard’s “Rethinking Virginity” conference, and will be part of a panel on “snark” (BUT WHY?) at this summer’s Netroots Nation conference. She’s also given readings and interviews and such. Sady is very happy to speak to your college, or assembled group of feminism-likers, or Sunday School class, especially if you would like to pay her. Sady very much enjoys being paid.
Other inadvisable things Sady has done include: Having a Twitter account, which you can follow here. If you would like to hire Sady, profess admiration for Sady, ask Sady questions, and/or send Sady your various lyric poems about reading the Internet, you can reach her at tbd.ladybusiness@gmail.com.
