Misogyny is a simple and clear case of psychological projection, a defence mechanism whereby one denies the existence of a quality in oneself and instead attributes it to the other—’it’s not me, it’s you’. Men hate that they want us, that their thought, their behavior, is so overwhelmingly and relentlessly occupied with wanting us. Instead …

Transsexualism is a problem only because sexism is a problem
Transsexualism is a problem only because sexism is a problem. (Transgenderism is no problem at all: females have been wearing pants and so on for ages, and there’s nothing preventing males from wearing dresses and so on.)
If being female didn’t put people at greater risk of sexual assault from males, it wouldn’t matter whether …

All those famous paintings …
guest post by Jass Richards
So when I was in the Louvre, a long time ago, looking at all those famous paintings, I was struck by how few of the women were able to keep their clothes on. From peasants to goddesses, every one of them was sporting not just an off-the-shoulder look, but a …

On Advertising
Advertising has gained such phenomenal power, it’s now allowed pretty much everywhere. And because it’s allowed pretty much everywhere, it has gained phenomenal power.
In fact, it has almost single-handedly destroyed the concept of public space because of its invasion of said public space with constant and loudly-proclaimed messages intended for private gain (not for …

What I learned about men by posting a ‘For Sale’ ad on Kijiji
The ad said $100. Men offered $70, $80, $90. Every woman who replied to the ad accepted the stated price.
The ad indicated my location, implying pick-up. Men asked whether I’d deliver it (all or part of the way) or simply said my location was too far away. The closest a woman got to that …

“When I go to a venture-capital group of only men,” Nacy said, “I do most of the speaking, and my chief business officer and I watch faces. If they’re incredulous about something I’ve said, he’ll repeat the same thing—and then it’ll be just fine.”

Hunting – only men
It’s hunting season again — moose for a week, then deer for two weeks — and I have yet to hear an acceptable justification.

Out with the literary canon?
I used to think that ‘Out with the literary canon altogether’ was going too far, but now … Name one work conventionally considered part of the traditional literary canon that does not subordinate women—their existence, their presence, their importance, what they say, what they do …
And so by continuing to grant the work such …

The Montreal Massacre (and Donna Decker’s Dancing in Red Shoes Can Kill You)
People who are/were shocked by the Montreal Massacre don’t know women’s history. Men have been killing us for centuries. Simply because we’re women. They kill each other too, but in that case, it’s mostly because of their target’s sexual orientation, tribal affiliation, or skin color. They kill us because of our sex.
