Lately I feel moved to call bullshit wherever I see it. (Moreso that usual, I mean.) Here are a few things you can do to prevent being called on your bullshit:
- Stop calling women sluts or whores or cunts - especially if you consider yourself liberal/progressive/feminist. It’s not funny. It’s the same old shit in a new pacakge.
- Stop assuming that everyone accepts the default position that sex work is soooo terrible. Try thinking for a change.
- Porn isn’t a monolith, so stop talking about it like it is. You sound stupid.
- Stop subscribing to the same tired old stereotypes about women and sex. They creep up in the nastiest places amongst the “progressive” types, ya know?
- Stop acting like getting naked for money is the worst possible thing ever.
- Men: stop talking for women. Listen for a change.
- White women: stop talking for women of color. Listen for a change.
More to come. I’ve got a post brewing, but I think I might save it for NaDruBloDa, because it would be more fun that way.
Speaking of which… Moe’s and Joe’s, Dec. 29th? Do they have wifi?

Nope.
They do not. Although if you sit outside you can pirate off the coffee shop. I honestly don’t know any bar that has wifi.
Trackside may. I’ll try to check that out.
Dude, isn’t Trackside closed?
I know I’ve seen bars that have wifi, but unfortunatley, I can’t remember what any of them were. So I’m totally unhelpful on this.
You people are lucky. It looks like I’m coming up on the night of the 29th.
Listen, slut, I will call you…
oh wait.
Amber, marry me in Canada?
I hope to participate on the 29th, but I will have relatives at casa del evolution, so we shall see…
This is a very good list in general, of course, but this “Stop subscribing to the same tired old stereotypes about women and sex. They creep up in the nastiest places amongs the “progressive” types, ya know?” is BLOWING MY MIND!
Seems I’ve been Commenting everywhere this week “WHERE THE FUCK IS THE TOLLERANCE FOR THIS ‘DIVERSITY’ YOU OTHERWISE SEEM TO EMBRACE SO MUCH!?”
Sorry for yelling :)
Here is a list of places with free wifi in Georgia, and it appears to include several bars & restaurants in Atlanta, including:
5 Seasons Brewery on Roswell Rd
Dantanna’s Surf & Turf at Lenox Mall
Dark Horse Tavern on N. Highland
Hand in Hand on N. Highland
Jocks and Jills in Midtown (10th & Ptree)
Locos on Ptree
Mellow Mushroom in Brookhaven
Neighbors on N. Highland
The Highlander on Monroe
Awesome… thanks, Sara.
What does everyone prefer from that list? I vote against the Highlander because Audacity and I got sick there one time.
Of course, we could always go to Krystal. Any Krystal in the state!
Dude, there’s no booooze at Krystal. Kind of defeats the purpose of drunk blogging day…
Yeah. Krystal is more of an after-drinking place, anyway. Well, after the Clermont Lounge, too.
I vote for Mellow Mushroom because beer + pizza = good.
Plus, it probably won’t be as busy as the other places..
Shit, shit and double shit. I just realized I’ll be out of town on the 29th, in the middle of the BF, SC Lowcountry. No wi-fi either. Even worse, not one slutty ex-boyfriend for miles to drunk-dial at 2am either. Guess I’ll have to stay in and catch an old Mel Gibson flick on the tube. Talk trash to myself about celebrity cooters and stuff. Imagine myself in a position of support towards the “sex industry”, whatever the fuck that is. I can wile away the hours in the woods thinking of porn as surely a glorification of all women, and imagine my daughter growing up to pursue such a career path if I get really bored. Probably for the best that I’m out of town, given my track record with booze and PC-speak. Talk about your bullshit-creep… takes one to know one is all I’m sayinz. All these years, decades really, of becoming a feminist just so girls, not women that’s fer sure, can fuck themselves into a guilt-free, slut-no-more stupor! Who’d have thought!? I really, honestly, need a drink now.
Cooters is a word I hear far too infrequently.
Man, I don’t think I could survive without saying “cunt.” This is harsh!
Booo…I think Griftdrift and I were both going to vote for the Highlander.
I would normally be all over the Mellow Mushroom idea but a) it’s a fairly long drive for me back to my house (bad idea when drunk) and b) it’s an even further drive to the Clermont. Whereas the Highlander is very close to both…
Well, I can do the Highlander if everyone else wants to. But we must AVOID THE TATER TOTS at all costs!
It all boils down to respect and simple civil behavior. You don’t call women cunts. You don’t call men dicks or pricks or whatever. You treat each other with courtesy and respect. “Love your neighbor as yourself” means treat them like you want to be treated.
It’s one of those ridiculously simple concepts that no one wants to use, because it would mean putting someone else before themselves.
dang…Can I come? I was just going to sit and home and shout at the kids and swill vodka and cranberry.
Hell yes you can come. You’ll have to sleep on my couch that night though, you’re not driving back to South Georgia after a drunk-blogging bender.
I like Highlander’s tater tots and I’ve never got sick. Of course it could be my blood is now completely congealed.
Highlander or Mellow Mushroom would be okay. One thing in favor of MM would be Highlanders is a smoking establishment.
And fuck.
I just felt like saying fuck.
ok…letsee…
“Sweet Daddio, I’d like to drive 4 hours to Atlanta to get pasted with a bunch of people I don’t know and then sleep at one of their apartments.”
(not that I NEED his permission, but he’d ask me if the shoe were on his foot)
Then he’d look at me and blink and say “well,(long pause while he formulates his answer), when did you say your next appointment with the psychiatrist was?”
Oh and another thing. I don’t know where the hell to post this so I’m putting it here.
How come when dudes on tv roll out of bed just wearing boxers the flap never flies open. I can be sitting absolutely still and my flap will fly open and suddenly things are flopping all over the place. I can no longer suspend my disbelief.
Ha!!
Okay, WHAT inspired you to post that here? I really must know.
It’s a good question though. Guys on TV and movies are also always hopping out of bed w/ no sign of morning wood, too. WTF.
Your blog makes me think of naughty bits.
That’s all I got. I’m in a weird mood. I need food.
the guys on tv don’t actually have naughty bits. Nothing to flop out, that’s how they got the job.
” Porn isn’t a monolith, so stop talking about it like it is. You sound stupid.”
However far apart our takes on the issue may be, i totally agree with that statement.
