Feminism Without Clothes

My apologies for lack of updates on all my sites/blogs- but I’m in the process of moving. Expect normal updates to occur as of Monday night.

However…if you want to see a whole lot of me wearing a whole lot of nothing, do yourself a favor and join the site ishotmyself.com- my name there is Kandice.

May 1st is “Blogging Against Disablism Day.” Expect a post about not feminism, but disablism.

Did I do that?

My boyfriend works in a bookstore, and, as a consequence, I see a lot of books. I happened upon The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex and Feminism. Sounds interesting, right? Everything was cool until I read a little further down on the jacket.

Every once in a while I run into people blaming “those feminists” for ruining something or other. Womanhood, mothers, boys, society, whatever. Every time I hear or see an accusation towards feminists, I can’t help but think, me? I did that?

So, I haven’t had time to crack open The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex and Feminism. It’s right up there on my reading list with It Takes a Family by the delightful Rick Santorum, but for now I’ll just have to answer the accusations made towards me and my clan on the front of the book.

You know what the feminists say, but here’s what they don’t want you to know:

-Careers can be baby-deniers: Women can’t postpone childbearing without serious consequences. Well, yes. If you want to have biological children, you should take into account that conceiving when older can be difficult. I don’t think there’s any cover-up there. However, if you’re not ready for a child, you shouldn’t have one because it might not be biologically possible in the future. If you’re not ready, you’re not ready.

-How feminists lost the sexual revolution (by agreeing that women should be disposable sex objects). Of course we lost the sexual revolution. Birth control can be very difficult to get, and an abortion is even harder. As to being disposable sex objects…I never agreed to that. I’ve never heard of any feminist agreeing to that. What feminists have you been talking to you? I think they were playing a joke.

-Why the happiest women spend more time with their families and less time at work (because you can’t outsource parenting). You’re probably right there. I’m betting a lot of women with children enjoy life more when they spend time with their families. I’m also betting that true for a lot of men, too. Equally true, in fact.

-Most women want a husband and a strong family, but “independent” feminists pine for a sugar daddy in Uncle Sam. I do? Sure, a lot of women want to get married and have offspring- I’m one of them, in fact (don’t let my secret get out- I’ll lose my membership to the UBER UPPITY FEMINIST club). I don’t see why I can’t want that and be an independent feminist. And the sugar daddy in Uncle Sam part- again, I think those feminists were playing a joke on you. Unless it involves free Candy. Everyone loves Candy.

Anyway. Naked picture.

I’m pretty sure this is my butt.

I found this poster via a link on the wonderful blog Feministing.com. It’s from a website called Teen-Aid, which promotes abstinence-only education. Which, by the way, doesn’t work and misleads teens, not to mention that it’s setting back victories in reduced HIV infection rates in Africa.

Anyway, back to this poster. The only logical conclusion I can draw from it is that if I have too much sex, two ducks with ties will follow me everywhere.

So, I was fired. From a job I worked a week and a half at. That’s pretty damn depressing. I bought a book called “Make a Real Living as a Freelance Writer.” Because that’s such a reliable job. Freelance writing.

I’m sorry I didn’t write anything clever or activist here, but I’d like to direct you to the right, where I’ve added some great blogs. Read those, because they’re awesome.

Psst…remember this post about locked-up condoms? Well, now you can do something about it. Just go here to free the condoms!
