Nate Silver Apparently Inaccurate On Polls Because He’s Effeminate
November 1, 2012 By 7 Comments
Some conservatives are not terribly fond of Nate Silver, the renowned blogger and statistics wonk behind Fivethirtyeight. For one thing, he keeps predicting that Obama will win. (80.8% chance as of this writing.) Those conservatives, who are fond of the narrative of Romney Momentum, feel that Nate Silver is randomly making up numbers in order [...]
This Week Is Homophobia Week or Something
September 19, 2012 By 7 Comments
Apparently I am not allowed to swear in the titles of articles anymore! However, I assume no one will have any objections to me calling the infestation of homophobes that has shown up this week assheaded cockmongering fuckwitted douchefaces, because that is in fact what they are, and also no one has said I can’t [...]
Progressiveness In Rap Music
September 14, 2012 By 11 Comments
Unfortunately, I have a case of terminal whiteness (Things Ozy Has Literally Said: “That 99 Problems is a nice song!”), so I haven’t talked much about rap music here, what with the not knowing anything about it or anything. However, recently, a couple of interesting anti-kyriarchy and rap music things have shown up on my [...]

Mitt Romney’s “Wimp Factor”
August 7, 2012 By 5 Comments
Seriously, Newsweek? Are you so low on negative traits to describe Romney that you had to choose ‘wimp’? Do I have to make a list of negative things about him? Even if you ignore, you know, his policies (which should be the key point of any presidential race), there’s his abuse of his dog, his history [...]
Bronies!
July 20, 2012 By 10 Comments
I just realized that, like, this entire week has been about rape and murder and prisons and depressing things, so I’ve decided it’s time for a happier topic: PONIES! (Also, gif warning, epileptic people!) Are bronies changing the definition of masculinity? [Video summary: Dude talks at a camera. He defines "brony" (adult fan of My [...]
P!nk: Lady Warrior, Femmephobe

Femmephobia is a trouble that I look on with no small amount of sympathy. In this lovely article from No Seriously, What AboutTeh Menz? Ozy Frantz discusses how, when zie was in high school, zie was a “Cool Chick.” Zie mocked other girls for their stereotypically feminine presentation and behavior and “adopt[ed] male gender norms [...]
TakiMag: Twelve-Step Plan for American Machismo
June 13, 2012 By 37 Comments
Ah, nothing like picking on an easy target early in the morning. And Takimag’s Twelve Step Plan for American Machismo is the easiest of targets. Apparently, the premise of the article is that American men are insufficiently manly, and therefore women don’t want to sleep with them. 1) Stop ordering women’s drinks. Acceptable drinks: Budweiser, [...]
Pastor Sean Harris Advocates Beating Gay Kids
June 13, 2012 By 6 Comments
(Hat tip Womanist Musings.) Pastor Sean Harris, a small pile of slime that has crawled out of the primordial ooze and inexplicably chooses to call itself human, has a few wise words to share with people about the gender binary: “So your little son starts to act a little girlish when he is four years [...]

February 28, 2012 By 66 Comments
(Hat tip to dreamwaffles.) Autostraddle and Ms. Blog have the news about an interesting new advertising sins and the latest mutation of femmephobia. I mean, kind of news. It’s from, erm, two months ago. Ozy is known for many things, but zir punctuality is evidently not one of them. If you click the friendly Ms. Blog [...]
Virginia School District Full of Shit
February 19, 2012 By 63 Comments
(Hat tip to Kink on Tap) So! There is this school district in Virginia with an innovative plan to prevent gender- and sexuality-based bullying! Are they going to encourage acceptance of all genders and sexual orientations? Provide counselling and other support for bullied kids? Provide diversity and sensitivity training for people accused of bullying? No, [...]
