Today I got a wireless (cell phone) offer in the mail, from a company called “Working Assets Wireless”. Their gimmick is that they kick 1% of the charges over to such friendly progressive groups as Planned Parenthood, Greenpeace, and the ACLU, and on top of that they will give you 10 free minutes [...]
This made me laugh so loud that MFH, who has the day off, came to see what it was. Better yet, he brought some Hershey’s kisses with him. Serious oppression ensued.
A short excerpt from the link:
Beyond the capitalist motivations of creating a holiday that embraces the experience of *normal* straight couples, I think [...]
I knew physicals were useless! I am quite overdue for one–the last was just before I moved to Minnesota. Not that they were ever a regular part of my life. I had a ten-year period free of doctor visits once, between falling out of a pickup and landing on my head in [...]

If men were the only ones opposed to feminism, Lavender might have a point. But feminists [...]
Heh–Lileks comments on feminist complaints about patriarchalism in who does the cleaning:
I was a half-slob once and a mostly-slob before that. Now I do all the housework and child care and do not feel as though I am making some Brave Stand Against Predominant Sexual Paradigms. It’s not like I get boobs when I mop.
