Fresh on the heels of Reuters’ continued failure of journalistic ethics (as WIMN’s Voices’ own Melissa McEwan describes here, the wire service yet again placed two stories about rape in their “Oddly Enough” section), comes another glaring example for our “Miscategorized News” files, this time from United Press International.
On November 1, UPI reported that […]

Part Seven.*
Reuters’ Oddly Enough has really outdone themselves today: Not one, but two hilariously odd stories about rape! 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 […]

[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 […]

As I wrote last week, Women In Media & News will be hosting a fundraising event in Chicago tomorrow, Aug. 2 at 7:00pm that will be part meet-greet, wine-and-cheesy goodness (read: FUN!), and part dynamic discussion between me and Anne Elizabeth Moore (Don’t Pin Your Hopes on Katie Couric: How Women Can Confront, Challenge and […]

How Odd!
(Dead Woman in Freezer Edition)
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: It’s so odd when men (allegedly) murder their spouses (and children) and then stash them in the freezer while hosting a party:
A Belgian man appeared in court on Friday after a woman at his dinner party found the bodies […]

Examining—and subverting—victim-blaming and other associated rape narratives has long been a part of the blogging I do at Shakesville, but recently, “Rape is Hilarious” has become, much to my chagrin, a regular feature. Just in the last month, I’ve had occasion to write about some of the most profoundly unsettling “jokes” about rape about […]
