Just enough of my persistent-not-exactly-optimism is left that I won’t say it is inevitable… but damn does it seem it. It seems inevitable that whenever I have a day of wow-I-totally-get-this-parenting-thing, look-at-me-be-zen-about-his-tantrums, damn-dude-why-can’t-you-just-let-it-go-like-I’m-doing, the next day — the very next day — I completely fucking lose it. Break-a-plate-in-anger-when-he-dumps-out-the-eggs-he-doesn’t-want lose it. I don’t like it. Maybe the zen [...] 28 February 2010 at 8:04 pm | Category: Mental Health, Meta, Parenting | Tags: falling short | 15 comments

Like this? Share it: Sexual identity? Does not actually come from “who you fuck”. See, this is one of those misconceptions which lead to all sorts of misunderstandings, from backing up the assertion that “everyone is bi” (because so many people have had sexual contact with more than one gender) to dismissing sexual identities altogether. Like in this oh so [...] 20 February 2010 at 12:50 am | Category: Kyriarchy, Sexuality | Tags: bisexuality, identity, isms | 10 comments

Open thread: On first periods
My monthly menstrual musings may have misled many of my much-beloved readers. I was not always as forthright as I am now — to put it mildly — and my willingness to talk about menstruation here, and elsewhere online and other feminist-dominated spaces1, doesn’t mean I don’t (or rather, didn’t when it was applicable) buy [...]
