I hate writing about feminist issues, because every time I do I get accused of being a feminazi or caring more about women than men, or of buying into victim culture, or any number of accusations that come with the territory. Feminism isn’t generally my main issue, and so I’m always Continue reading Skepticism: Tits or GTFO?* In April 2010, I wrote a blog post about when to try new things and not to pursue them. I described how I chose not to follow through on an audition for a TV show called Miracle Detectives. They were looking for a woman with a strong presence to serve as the rational/skeptical Continue reading Indre Viskontas: Scientist, Skeptic and Miracle Detective When I was an adolescent, I really wanted to be Mr. Spock. I thought that being hyper-logical and unemotional would be far better than being hyper-logical and hyper-emotional.

I discussed the video and talked a little about the aftermath in general terms, but there is much work to be done in Continue reading When Sex Gets in my Apple-Bottomed Jeans (Part Deux) In case you haven’ t noticed, there has been a firestorm across the blogosphere in the skeptic, atheistic and scientific communities, lately, about the sexualization of women in them. This firestorm has been going on for quite a while, but it has received a lot of new fuel from a recent flare up over at Continue reading When Sex Gets in my Apple-Bottomed Jeans I have researched the links between body image, mass media, dieting, eating disorders, and body dissatisfaction for many years. I first became interested in the topic after reading Naomi Wolf’s best-seller The Beauty Myth, in which Wolf claimed that images of thin women in the mass media caused, or at least contributed to, eating disorders Continue reading A Closer Look at the Famous Fiji “TV Causes Anorexia” Study A few months ago, Flowtown.com created a graphic for geeks called The Evolution of the Geek:
So many choices!! If you are male. But do not feel left out ladies, you also have options!!! Online marketer WPromote created “Which Female Tech Influencer Are You?”
Do women really need fashion, Continue reading Oh, The Places You’ll Go . . . As Long as You Are White, Pretty, Thin, and Feminine Let me first make it as clear as possible that I am against abuse. I would defend an abuse victim with my own life, if need be. I also think that the leader of the Fundamental LDS church, Warren Jeffs, is an evil person and that he should be kept from harming anyone ever Continue reading This is NOT About Tortured Babies |
