My heartfelt thanks to Caroline Heldman! She is just wonderful. I believe what she said.
Fox News has published a sexist Op-Ed. It Says Women's Nature Is To Be Dominated By Men. It says more shitty things.
All they want to say is men are sad because women are not women anymore. Women lost their femininity. The ’70s feminist movement dramatically changed women. Women are not anymore submissive, shy, vulnerable, domitable, malleable, dependent, inferior, secondary, passive, obedient. Women have not played women’s role for decades. But women have the power to turn everything around. All they have to do is surrender to their nature – their femininity. If women become submissive and the slaves of men again, marriageable men will marry them. If not, there should be no marriage between men and women. [Read more…]
Everybody thought the Church of England general synod was going to vote for women bishops. But they voted against it. I am not surprised. Don’t we already know that religionists are against women’s equality?

I did not know that Bic made pens for women! When I first heard about ‘Bic for her’, I could not believe it really happened, Bic really made lady pens! Bic describes the pen as having a “thin barrel to fit a women’s hand,” making it an “elegant design—just for her!” The Bic website also notes that the pen features a clear tinted barrel “for visible ink supply,” as if women can’t otherwise tell when a pen has run out of ink. I was angry for a while, then I started laughing. It seems the whole world is laughing at Bic’s stupid, sexist, idiotic pens. I do not know whether Bic is a big misogynist, but I am sure Bic is a big joker.
Here are some comments on Bic’s Lady pens: [Read more…]
