Extra Links
Since I'm limited to five links here, and I'm too chintzy to upgrade to a paid account, I thought I would highlight another blog I like in each entry. This entry's Good Read is a sharp, incisive, and often hilarious feminist blog written by a Spinster Aunt with the marvelous pseudonym of "Twisty Faster." A short quote from this entry will give you a taste of her style.
"I particularly resent pregnancy itself, and not just because of the saccharine, sentimental disdain our species confers on it, or the fucktarded social consequences of possessing the organs necessary to do it. Consider the ickiness of the biology: the burdensome inequity of the male/female dichotomy, the depraved practical joke that is menstruation, the parasitic nature of the fetus, the strain on the physique, the bloody violence of labor and delivery, and the absolute tyranny suddenly imposed by the newly expelled mewling tyke. Which tyke, I remind you, resembles a lump of hamburger (see photo) whose purpose in life is to attempt suicide about 70,572 times a day."
You can find Twisty at her blog, I Blame the Patriarchy. Check it out.
