Cat fight! Susannah Breslin over at True/Slant put up a post stating the obvious about the recent upswing in “trigger warning” silliness. Namely that 99% of the time the purpose of using a “trigger warning” is to make sure the readers of a particular blog who are drawn to stuff that annoys them* don’t miss [...]

Yup, it finally happened live on national TV. The thing I have been hearing from countless radical feminists that they wanted – a beauty pageant contestant spoke her mind instead of mouthing the mindless “world peace” platitudes we all expect. And they are crucifying her for it… led by Perez Hilton, a man who’s main [...]

It was pointed out to me that I might benefit from pointing out that there is a wide world of bloggers and others doing the “goodbye cruel world” routine that aren’t female. This is a good idea because frankly this is simply not a gendered issue. As for the terms: GBCW is in my mind [...]

One of the least interesting secrets in the blogosphere of late is the identity of the “unknown” author who Black Amazon was defending during her attack on Seal press. This is the dustup that resulted in the flouncing of feminist savior “Brownfemipower“*. What then was the evil, vile racist act that brought on so much [...]

Recently Seal Press has learned a lesson the the Democratic Party is learning as well. The lesson is simple… When you advance yourself by encouraging people to use their imagined victimization as a weapon, you know they will turn those weapons on you someday. Seal press sells a whole bunch of books that primarily feed [...]
