• Astarte’s Circus: It’s Still a Double Standard, Folks
  “Listen, folks. If women get mocked for things men don’t, if women get called toxic where men are simply called wrong, if women are called clumsy and foolish where men are just new to the town, if women ‘need to bone up’ where men are ‘being advised by experts’ on foreign policy, know what that’s called?”

• Dr. Ginger Campbell’s Blog and Podcasts » Every Thinking Woman Should Take a Stand on Sarah Palin
  “Sarah Palin does not believe in abortion. She does not believe women who are raped and incested and ripped open against their will should have a right to determine whether they have their rapist’s baby or not.”

• No Cookies For Me: Wait… you mean belching *detracts* from your “hot” factor?
  “I have to say, I’m also tired of total dolts like this guy being seen as the voice of Manhood. I know that I’m not the only one who feels this way, either. How many times do we need some idiot half-brain telling us what we should and shouldn’t find hot? How many times do we need some magazine puppet telling us that we should only find women like Model X attractive, and that women like Model Y? Well, there’s clearly something wrong with you if you find that hot.”

   Indeed it was! I probably should’ve put that in the ’save’ notes.
