"typical, average straight guys..."
...aren't so bad after all.
Actually, this is pretty rad:
This Facebook group, Typical, average straight guys in favor of gay rights on Facebook had 10,000 fans in just two days. The group started on May 31 and today is June 2nd, and there are 10,963 fans.
Well done. -
quandary
So according to this guy in his New York Times op-ed, it's time we bring in a greater stigma towards single mothers... to stop them from being currently unhappy (which therefore gives men higher happiness ratings than women). He writes:
They should also be able to agree that the steady advance of single motherhood threatens the interests and ( Read more... ) -
all the boys and all the girls
Britney Spears' annoyingly catchy and oh-so-subtle fuck-me anthem, "If You Seek Amy," goes like this:
That's "F-U-C-K Me," for the record.
But, also note: "All the boys and all the girls are waiting to F-U-C-K me tonight."
Is she trying to hide her message by including "girls"? Or is she acknowledging the lady-loving-ladies who might be ( Read more... ) -
shush 30H!3, shut your lips,/ you make some lyrics that make me feel sick
Songs aren't all meant to be lucious, 4-minute pieces of poetry that make you swoon and/or melt. Some, in fact, can be fun, jangly, silly, or, if they have a good enough beat, even bordering on nonsensical. Stupid, even. I'm pretty tolerant of my music, particularly the music in the danceable category. (Looking at you, Mariah. And Britney. Oh fuck ( Read more... ) -
on that miss cali thing
Apparently, not all of The Progressive Youth of America got the message that, ya know, bigoted views against gay marriage are a thing of the past.
Well, at least not Miss California.
Maybe she was a teeth-whitening party during that little memo distribution? Or perhaps out getting an umbrella to prepare for the "Gathering StormI have a few ( Read more... ) -
that's what I call effective advertising
Saw this last night while watching The L Word on LOGO, miraculously included (thanks, MTV!) in our cable plan. And, quite honestly, I don't even care if I'm giving Levis free advertising now, because this ad was just. so. perfect. The dreads, the all-girls high school, the rugby... and aired during The L Word. Looks like one company, at least, ( Read more... ) -
identity politics: the gossip girl edition
I've blogged before on the fratboi leanings of the gay gal (bi/lez/etc.) community (as per Ariel Levy's great Where the Bois Are) but today, these issues crystallized for me: and from no other than the always-illustrious medium of Gossip GirlBackground: for years, "lesbianism" was at the extremist end of the feminist spectrum. Something along the ( Read more... ) -
you've got nails & related highway adventures
Drive for long enough on the highways of New Jersey, and you're bound to root for the little guy. That's because, on these perilous paths, you are, quite literally, the underdog. As in, you're nearly under the Great Danes of the road, often actually named "Great Danes," according to the little seal on the back of these highway Goliaths ( Read more... ) -
good lord. (of the rings, that is)
What could, in a mere two nights, turn me, a former liberal pacifist anti-racist feminist into a pro-monarchy warmonger, cheering on an invasion of The Black Land?
Let's just say it starts with a "Lord of" and ends with "the Rings." [also: read at your own risk, I am completely out-dorking myself in this post]
