Blog updates round 2!

Get ready for some new-ness!  As my blogging partner, femmemeister, stated in an earlier post, we’ve decided to author our own posts from here on out.  This will allow you to direct all hate (or love!) at one of us specifically if we happen to write something insane or awesome… or insanely awesome. ;) Also, if [...]

Leaping Ahead!

Today is a Leap Year! It only comes around once every four years, so there is something a bit magical about the Brigadoon-like February 29. So, go have fun (it is Friday, after all)–but first, some bits o’ seriousness.
This is an extra day–a freebie. So perhaps you can take some time to [...]

A follow up to “Sex talk with Father Wild”

Unlike my blogging partner, I actually showed up on time to the Father Wild forum (…meaning that I didn’t have an evening graduate class with a sweet professor.  Jealous!).

Blog Update!

Since some of you guys were wondering which one of us was writing which posts, my blogging partner and I have decided to create separate IDs for ourselves.From now on, we will be appearing as our individual log-ins when we do individual posts/comments, and as “thewordwarrior” if we are doing a joint post.This will enable [...]

Sex Talk with Father Wild!

Remember how we told y’all about the Father Wild forum? (If you don’t remember, here’s the post.) Well, seven of us Marquette feminists were in attendance (a pretty good turn-out, if I don’t say so myself!), and we had the opportunity to ask Father Wild several questions.Unfortunately, I showed up rather late, so [...]

A Double-Dose of What-the-Fuck?!?!?!

Since it’s a rainy Monday, you all should do some reading. Here are two articles, each with an off-the-charts level of What-the-Fuckness. Aren’t y’all lucky? (I got these articles from feministing.com, which is the BESTEST blog ever–even better than this one!)
