"'Evidently, an anonymous Goldstein supporter was so worked up that he told Thersites that his two-year-old had cocksucking lips."' Yes, wingers are insane, and, no, that quote isn't supposed to be funny, but, Elvis, I nearly passed out from laughing. And, yes, I am catching up on my reading, thankyewveramuch.

"A bitch didn’t sign on for that definition of ‘it all’. Cease reporting on the concerns of women as if poor women, rural women and single women do not exist. We do…we have issues too…and we are a part of that workforce you were speaking of. While working mothers struggle to hit their goals…a bitch prefers 'goals' to 'have it all'…other women at work also struggle to hit our goals. Add us all up, Dawn, and you’ve got a lot of women who are dealing with a lot of shit…real world shit that includes, but is not limited to, the issue of parenting and working outside the home at the same damned time." Amen to that. There's more to life than breeding, and it's not that much better than having kids. Edited to add: "This is why I hate the fucking mommy wars, and why I hate every single person who gets on her self-righteous high horse about how irresponsible and selfish the stay at home mom is because she isn't pulling in any money to ensure the family has a nest egg for emergencies. Or how selfish and irresponsible the working mom is because, 'When a mother works, something is lost.'" Females - we just can't win the mommy wars. So fuck the mommy wars, and let us all get on with our lives. Posted by Ginger Mayerson @ 12:14 PM PST [Link] Friday, July 14, 2006 Jesus H. Christ in a Lamborghini, does Joe Quesada live under a glass dome or something? Hit [Link] for an excerpt the worst of it or get the whole damn thing, but here's what just made my womanly hands clench into fists: "But, let me also add, that just because there is a lack of female writers doesn’t mean that we’re going to hand out a charity gig to a female just because of her gender. That to me defeats the purpose. As a father of an only female child I would want all doors open within whatever field my daughter decides to one day choose. But I would also want her to walk through those doors on her own merits, not on the charity of others or to fill some quota, and I suspect that when she’s old enough to understand that, she’ll feel the same." You have got to be kidding me; daddy is saying how baby will feel in 20 years. Lawd, give me the strength to say clearly and type this accurately: Joe, any success your daughter has in the future will be due to women like me and the women I call sisters having knocked some sense into or crushed under our wheels paleo-male-elitiest, dare I even say, chauvinist pigs like you. Get it? Good. Asshole. Edit 071606: And it's not just me. What Quesada’s Foot-In-Mouth Syndrome Says About Comics Posted by Ginger Mayerson @ 09:23 PM PST [Link] So, while y'all have nothing better to do than surf into this site, here's a free download of the entire His Girl Friday, the Cary Grant and Rosiland Russell film from 1940. AND IT STILL RULES SO HARD! Oops, edited to fix link. Posted by Ginger Mayerson @ 12:42 PM PST [Link] Thursday, July 13, 2006
 Lawnmower! Sorry for the light posting, I feel like I'm just one step ahead of the lawnmower myself these days and looks like it might be that way for a while longer. At least until after Comic Con San Diego weekend after this one. Posted by Ginger Mayerson @ 10:04 PM PST [Link] Monday, July 10, 2006 10 ways to get your fanboy boyfriend to stop tying to get you to read comic books 1. Ask your fanboy for a detailed description of his comic book store and everyone who works in it. Refuse to discuss comics until he can give you a detailed history of the store and everyone in it. This will buy you some time, if nothing else. 2. Ask your fanboy to help you pick-out a strap-on every time they bring up you reading comic books. 3. Get pregnant. That might get his fanboy mind off comics for five minutes. 4. Make your fanboy a deal, you'll read whatever stupid comic he picks out for you if he'll read "Our Bodies Ourselves," and yes, there will be a quiz on each chapter. 5. Start dancing every time he brings up you reading comic books. This will distract your fanboy long enough for you to change the subject. 6. Take your fanboy for a brisk walk, he probably needs more exercise anyway. 7. Tell him you'll read comics when they sell them at spas and nail parlors. 8. Tell him you'll read whatever comic he gives you as long as he gives you a foot massage, or whatever, while you read it. 9. Try out this line: "Honey, I love you, not your library." 10. Work lots of overtime and say your too busy to read comics. Bonus point! 11. Get a new boyfriend. Fanboys, bless your little hearts, I know you're trying. I saw more of you this year at AnimExpo talking to girls holding yaoi paddles and maybe getting somewhere with them, and, strangely, this cheered me. But, and this is just a suggestion I read somewhere, if your girlfriend doesn't like comics, maybe you should buy her something else. Something she'd like, even if you don't really understand it. Promise her anything, but give her Arpege. Just make sure it's Arpege, not some wacky comic book. In my book, that's love. But for the love of Elvis, stop posting these stupid "how to get your woman to read comics" lists. Leave your woman alone if she doesn't already like sequential art. Face it, fanboys, you probably have nine buguzillion comics lying around your lair, if your sweetie hasn't already paged through at least one that was remotely interesting to her, it's not gonna happen. However, I do have a(nother) recommendation for a woman who doesn't read comics, and in certain circles this could get me lynched; it's the Gregg Rucka run on Wonder Woman. Greek gods, fashion, action, occasionally witty dialogue, wacky but not terribly offensive villains, and Pegasus is in it. Yes! Pegasus! Most girls like well-drawn flying horses. I know I do. I think it's hard-wired into our genetic code. Or something. Posted by Ginger Mayerson @ 10:21 AM PST [Link] |
