what's in a name?

Over here at one of my closest friend's blog there is some heavy discussion about name changing. It is thoughtful and rational and it looks like everyone is being open and honest.

I am not being honest over there, and for now, I see no need to be honest over here. Because the truth about what I think of name change is not nice. It's not open-minded. It's not feminist. Or rather, it's not feminist to most of them, as the post and the discussion has made clear.

The truth I believe in my head comes from a place rooted deep within my understanding of feminist-theory and the standards to which I hold most of my feminist thought. (hint: it's on the left side of this page) It's something that I think I understand but am not always smart enough or quick enough or knowledgeable enough to defend.

So with that, I've decided that I do not drink enough wine. Tonight I plan to change that while dancing around the house to hip-hop. Is that okay with you?

all up under the covers day

I know this is a week late, but this video is finally on youtube. This is one of my "bad feminist" moments, but this song just never gets old. I laugh every single time. :)

whoops

Sometimes I’m a really bad feminist. But sometimes it’s like I can’t help myself. I mean, we’re all products of our environment, right?

I just nearly spit out my coffee at this tweet:

So this is weird, my mouth voice just said “Good morning Susan!” but my spirit voice said “Please lemme jizz on them thighs!”

Lord, help us all.
