Wednesday Winks (by which I mean links)
Happy Wednesday, my loves! I’ve been crazy busy recently with many projects going on at once, and naturally they all seem to be overlapping so that my deadlines are clustering together in a distinctly unpleasant way. I apologize for my relative silence here on the blog, but I’ve been quite vocal elsewhere if you want…

Quick Thoughts on Pop Culture from Your Grumpy Neighborhood Feminist
A few big pop culture items have crossed my radar this week, which is remarkable given that I’ve been sick and grumpy and menstruating and it’s cold and rainy outside.

Head-Desk News of the Day: Violence and Sex and Guns and Reliability
I think I’m getting sick. So I’m going to nap instead of writing much today, and I’ll beg forgiveness, but I’ll also point you in the direction of an interesting article from Tracy Clark-Flory at Salon: Court reaffirms: Sex much worse than violence. It’s not exactly groundbreaking stuff–this is a dichotomy that’s existed in American…

The Vibrator in the Bedroom: Friend or Foe of the Straight Man?
Not featured: human beings. In a noteworthy article on Salon today, Tracy Clark-Flory brings up a very cheering topic: straight men are starting to get less intimidated by sex toys. Granted, Tracy lives in San Francisco, where things tend to be a bit more sexually progressive than elsewhere, but it’s encouraging to hear coming from…
