If you stand for equality, you’re a feminist. I’m sorry to tell you. —Emma Watson I guess this means I’m a feminist. Which is weird, because I’ve been having a lot of trouble swallowing the notion of feminism. And perhaps more importantly the behavior of feminists. There was a big dramatic blow-out recently within my […]
Feminism is much like Christianity. If you are one, I’m sure it offers a lot to help you feel better about the awful things that happen in the world.

Every now and then, people talk about pick-up artists and deplore the deceitfulness they perceive.

Ergo, […]
One of the problems with wearing t-shirts that have esoteric computer geek things on them is that periodically airhead girls will come up to you and tell you they like your shirt, and you’ll spend the next five minutes explaining that they have no idea what it means, and whatever they thought was funny about […]
Men aren’t supposed to have to reject women. That’s the deal. Men go out on a limb and deal with rejection, and they don’t have to let anyone down easily. Women hold their tongues and hope for men to make the move, rebuffing the ones they don’t like (nicely, one hopes), and they never have […]
Yesterday was a momentous day (and I’m not talking about the royal wedding). Yesterday, my sister gave birth to my newest niece. I have already been daydreaming about what my role may be for my nieces and nephew when I am finally able to move out that way. The question is, when will that happen? […]
