Don’t trust a man (except me, of course) »

By Old Grumpy Guy on May 6, 2009 in Feminism, Gender Bias, Misogyny, OldGrumpyGuy, Open Thread, Sexism, Women's Suffrage | 15 Comments

Here’s one for the feminists. It’s another tongue-in-cheek song from my musical $ucce$$! (now seeking a Broadway home). The song is sung by an Irish-Latino character named Juanita Fitzgerald. The lyrics are as follows:

Like Putting Lipstick On a Pig: Olbermann, Musto, and Yes, Jay Leno »

By Anita Finlay ("Ani") on May 4, 2009 in Barack Obama, Feminism, Gender Bias, Hillary Clinton, Keith Olbermann, MSNBC, Misogyny, NBC, NBC/MSNBC, Obama, Sexism | 149 Comments

(bumped up from this morning) As a liberal from way back, I must say, if anyone on the left allows themselves to be represented in thought or deed by the likes of Keith Olbermann and Village Voice’s Michael Musto, they really need to rethink their life choices. Jay Leno has also earned himself a spot [...]

Hillary Back In The Day »

My good buddy, SusanUnPC (No Quarter), told me about this lovely story. I figured since I ended up writing about Hillary Clinton yesterday, I might as well continue the theme and write about her today, too. Oh, who am I kidding – I could write about her EVERY day. She is the Secretary of State, [...]

Bill O’Reilly’s sexist attack on Helen Thomas – The Easy Teenage Dance Mix »

By truthtelling007 on Feb 13, 2009 in Age Discrimination, Arrogance, Arugula (Elitism), Barack Obama, Feminism, Media, Media Handling of Story, NRA | 71 Comments

From time to time, you just have to have fun with the words of some of our most public blowbags. And while they may have a valid point here and there, or even contribute to the greater conversation by being obtuse curmudgeons, TV pundits like Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann or that [...]

To eliminate sexism we must first understand how it permeates our society »

Well, Golly Gee, Anne, That Will Learn Him! »

As in Anne Hathaway, an actress I actually like, and one whose movies I have seen (yes, both Princess Diaries – what’s your point??!). She has taken such a strong stand, I am sure you will agree, on an important issue. Oh, yes – I am talking, of course, about her decision to NOT turn [...]

If This Is A Feminist… »

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and that [...]

ACTION ALERT: Ms. Magazine Boycott »

Editor’s Note: This is a special guest post from the blog, HillaryOrBust.com. __________________________________ Well, we are officially living in the United States of Bizarroland. In a year in which we should by all rights be inaugurating our first woman president, Ms. magazine, which used to be the go-to mag for all things feminist, has turned [...]

It is hard for an empty suit to take a stand – or perhaps even to understand what it means to take a stand »

Jeremiah Wright Jr., Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sexism, Washington Post | 264 Comments

[Cross-posted from Heidi Li's Potpourri] Richard Cohen’s sister is canceling her inauguration party because of President-elect Obama’s choice of Rick Warren to bless Mr. Obama’s taking the office of the Presidency of the United State. According to her brother’s column in the Washington Post, what made her do this is the way in which Mr. [...]

Against the subjugation of women? Resist both infighting and selling out »

By Heidi Li on Dec 22, 2008 in Democracy, Feminism, Gender Bias, India, Misogyny, Racism | 87 Comments

[Cross-posted from Heidi Li's Potpourri] Disagreements about how to end injustice, and specific injustices, are as old as injustice itself. Whether one is considering the injustices of colonialism, racist domination, oppression of women…in each and every one of these areas, those who can agree in broad general principle have often found themselves disagreeing over specifics, [...]

Why Is Anyone Surprised By »

This: Obama’s speechwriter, Jon Favreau, demonstrating who he, and so many of those associated with Obama, is: a misogynistic, juvenile pig who has disrespected the Former First Lady of Arkansas, a Top 100 Attorneys in the United States TWICE, the former First Lady of the United States, a two term US Senator, the RIGHTFUL Democratic [...]

Misogyny was the central narrative of the Obama campaign »

(image from Post Secret) The image above was posted on Post Secret on November 8, 2008. I have no doubt that the dominate narrative of this campaign — the forceful suppression of women — is responsible for the author’s “secret.” In the Obama-realm, feminism isn’t just bad, it’ll ruin your life. One only need to [...]

Cry, Baby, Cry »

By Joan Of Art on Nov 8, 2008 in Abuse, Barack Obama, Feminism, Hillary Clinton, Jews, John McCain, Misogyny, Sexism, Women | 101 Comments

For the past few days, my phone has been buzzing with calls from devastated volunteers and celebrating friends. In the accelerated world of the blogosphere, writers have begun to rationalize the demographics of the vote and to anticipate the future. Important new groups like The New Agenda have raised significant concerns about the Obama administration [...]
