At least they get credit for actually using the word “rape” (an omission so common it has necessitated a multiple part series of its own), but that’s not much consolation when the act is treated as […]

How Odd!

October 23rd, 2007

[Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five.]
Welcome to Part Six in my ongoing series, How Odd!, devoted to aggravated grumbling about the wire services’ insistence on trivializing women’s lives, actions, experiences, and issues by categorizing as “Odd News” stories about the mistreatment of women, or stories about women that aren’t “odd” in […]

A Belgian man appeared in court on Friday after a woman at his dinner party found the bodies […]

O’Reilly Has Lost It

July 8th, 2007

Fox’s Bill O’Reilly has well and truly lost his motherflippin’ mind. Here he is talking about violent lesbian gangs: “You know, I never thought of this.

Just in the last month, I’ve had occasion to write about some of the most profoundly unsettling “jokes” about rape about […]
