Uh, "gals"? Ahem.

You know, some of us men read Feministing.com religiously, and would be very happy to blog against sexism.

Maybe I should write about fighting the stereotype that not all feminists are female in my blog against sexism? :-)

Nah. "Gals" is an inclusive term that really means both sexes. You know, like "men" used to be!

(disclaimer due to the exigencies of internet communication: the above is a joke.)

burned! good point, mitchell. i heart male feminists.

No, fuck it. I ain't blogging against shit tomorrow now.

Strike that, I actually have an idea for a post tomorrow. An extravagant present. A mad, unthinkable, utterly impossible post! A frabulous, grabulous, zip-zoop-zabulous post!

I just found out about Blog Against Sexual Violence Day, April 5, 2007:

You know, I was going to blog about sexism tomorrow, but then I saw Norbizness's pledge and I got performance anxiety.

Well, seeing as I couldn't even edit the Mr. Burns quote correctly, one's expectations should become greatly pre-diminished.

Here's my post... I cheated and used Autoadmit as an impetus to write about women's right to privacy. But hey - I'm pretty sure it was the first time I'd ever used the word "objectification."

Apology accepted, Jessica. I heart Feministing. :-)

And hey, here's my blog post:

Okay, so there's literally 48 minutes in the day, here on the west coast. I did manage to write not one, but TWO posts. One thanking my family for making me into a feminist, and one about hegemonic masculinity (thanks for making me read that paper on baseball, Professor Willis!).

Ugh. Stupid comment moderation. Here's the first post:

And the second:

I'm afraid I'm a bit of an idiot and couldn't think of anything serious to write about until after I posted the first one. So if you're looking for a serious tome on sexism, skip straight to the second. If you're interested in a little personal history, the first one is the one you go to.
