Anti-Misogynist Action: Day 192

Well, I once again caught wind ahead of time, of the plans of a local anti-abortion group to show up downtown and deliberately emotionally agitate and traumatize as many people as inhumanly possible. Along with this information was a clear indication that there would be film and/or video cameras, which most assuredly would be simply … Continue reading »

Anti-Misogynist Action: Day 162

Apparently dreaming of decapitation is symbolic of a castration fantasy. I must be becoming a man. And have you ever wondered what “trigger warning” is intended to mean? Friday I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. After being followed into the bathroom last Saturday, I’ve been bombarded by excessively violent nightmares ranging from watching … Continue reading »

Things I Can’t Help But Notice About The History Of “Pro-Life”

Every once in a while, some guy claiming to be pro-life gets his boxers in a twist when I ask him uncomfortable questions with the explicit aim of distinguishing him from pro-lifers I will likely have to deal with for the rest of my life. A valid response, considering the repercussions of the declaration, “I’m … Continue reading »

Anti-Misogynist Action: Days 155-157

This week’s highlights are all about discoveries: even an utterly miserable anti-choicer can actually smile (but they’re not supposed to), and I apparently now know how to emotionally agitate pro-lifers as spontaneously as they deliberately set out to do to the general public. And oh, how I laughed and laughed. Friday This Friday, something was … Continue reading »

An Open Letter To Mehdi Hasan of HuffPo

I read your article on how you believe that being pro-life doesn’t make you any less of a lefty, and as I was reading through it, I decided to compile a list of problems with your supporting claims and evidence, under a link to your post on one of my Facebook contact’s walls. But because … Continue reading »

Anti-Misogynist Action: Day 150 (Epic Troll)

Today I learned that a lot of parishioners at St. Patrick’s Parish have difficulty parallel-parking. And that Charlie Chaplin’s moustache, for which Adolf Hitler is so well-known, is back in style at St. Pat’s. I also learned that their 7 a.m. Sunday morning mass is not particularly well-attended, and that suits me just fine. In … Continue reading »

Anti-Misogynist Action: Day 149

The seasons are changing, and so are my tactics. After getting sufficiently tired of being angry about the sexual harassment and slut-shaming taking place outside the abortion clinic where I’ve been picketing for the past five months, I’ve decided to take the fight to the front door of the people who started it. After doing … Continue reading »

Anti-Misogynist Action: Day 148

This week’s highlights include me managing to keep a straight face as I said “These guys just look ridiculous” while wearing a full-body black-and-white checkered spandex suit, rubber boots, and a hoodie on a street corner in front of 10 intersecting lanes of dense traffic. Friday It’s awfully strange waking up from a dream about … Continue reading »

The “Pro-Life” Movement Is A Popularity Contest

There, I said it. And I meant it, too. The “pro-life” movement is a popularity contest, and it’s rigged so that women can never win — because women can’t win by fighting to cash in their own rights for the rights of hypothetical persons who have yet to even exist (see also: political sellout). A few … Continue reading »

A Dream

Last night, the man I’ve been calling Mr. Charles appeared in my dream. I was at some sort of social gathering, discussing a TENS unit I had somehow acquired. It is a device I actually have, and which I use occasionally to treat debilitating muscle tension. Only in the dream, it was a different one, … Continue reading »
