When reading a book about the life of St Thomas Moore, the thing that struck me most and which I will never forget is that his daughter was considered the most clever woman in England because she knew how to read; according to the book, she was the only woman in England who knew how … Continue reading Old Time Feminism

Saying Thank you to Veterans, Part 2: Rough Men and Ungrateful Women
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." There is some debate about who originally stated the above quote: it might have been George Orwell, or it might have been Richard Grenier paraphrasing George Orwell. Whoever said it, it is indisputably true. The … Continue reading Saying Thank you to Veterans, Part 2: Rough Men and Ungrateful Women
What I Saw in the Psych Ward
About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. As a general rule, I try to avoid talking about it, but it isn't a secret: I have written about it before, and a lot of people online know about it.

Apparently, this was supposed to make me feel empowered, or something: it didn't. … Continue reading In Defense of Beauty

Numerous polls have shown that most women are opposed to making women register for the draft, but … Continue reading Please, God, Bring Back The Patriarchy
Things I Don’t Get
I don't get feminism. 🙂 Feminism is actually what led me to join L1. I had been just lurking and reading the stuff on the front page, but one day someone-I am pretty sure but not totally certain that it was Mollie Hemingway-did a post that I could not remain silent about. This post was … Continue reading Things I Don’t Get
Feminism Means Never Having To Say, Thank You.
Why are feminists so intent on sending women into combat? I think it is because they can't stand the idea of ever saying Thank You to men, especially conservative men. And nowadays, most veterans are conservatives.
