Wear Clean Draws  (because there’s 5 million ways to kill a ceo)

this was originally posted on the old blog, 2006.05.02. I’m reposting it because it is too long to post the whole thing on a discussion list.

I’d mentioned to piny that one of the problems with the attacks on “trans politics” (sic) was that they argued that, as long as transfolk weren’t being denied their formal […]

oiy. I’ve mentioned that my feminist book club feels oppressively heteronormative sometimes. often. ok. yeah: often they are heteronormative! i’m not at the punching walls state i was with the first team i worked with at my new job, but there’s a lot of educatin’ to do. or something.
i won’t get into details, but i […]

At work, I’ve been doing a lot of rather rote work that requires a ton of QA. It leaves me lots of time to listen to lectures and talks on youtube. I finally found that one video that I’d seen, the one where hooks discusses institutionalized racism and what she thinks of as the need […]

this is a really great review of Martha Nussbaum’s book, Sex and Social Justice Cecilia (from Au) kept telling me to read it because I’d probably appreciate her discussion of objectification, sex work, etc. I read it two summers ago, and after wading through what seemed to be far too much text for what it […]

Rumor 2: I am a failure if I’m not asked to “guest blog.” Sorry, I was never into nepotism, and no, I would not be honored to spend my afternoon linking to a bunch of other “feminist” blog posts because you need ad revenue and are too busy to post that shit yourself. Spreading my […]

at work, I’ve been listening to Angela Davis — just search on youtube and listen to them all. It’s all you need to understand what is going on, and how to address so many of the issues that come up repeatedly within leftist and feminist circles.
Seriously.
Meanwhile, a “related video” alert brought me to this […]

Last year, I read Serrano’s Whipping Girl, which was very good. I was reminded of it when I saw a post at Womanist Musings which featured several cuts of Serrano speaking out against the bigotry against transgendered women on the part of ‘radical feminists’. She’s pretty engaging, much like her book. It reminds me though […]

Luca, an organizer with Sex Worker Open University posted a comment to the fundamentalist feminism post I wrote earlier. In it, she pointed to the Sex Worker Open University blog, so I thought I’d promote it to a post, to give it a little more exposure. I wish I weren’t working longer hours, or I’d […]

returning to the sean bell nuttiness, which i happened to blunder across again because i was reading yet another blowout in bloglandia. this time it was over the wrong-just-wrong-wrong-wrong statements made about women of color, specifically blackamazon, brownfemipower, and sylvia, who were called drama queens on the womanist musings blog.
i clicked on a link […]
