more on ‘Bitch’
March 8, 2008 – 10:53 pm
Elizabeth, am I seriously squandering precious babysitter time reading a book on feminism that has a page long diatribe on lipstick and nail polish shades? Are you fucking kidding me? I’m bored and annoyed, and I do not understand why your book isn’t called “Slut.”
It might be significant fashion-wise that the early 90’s saw a resurgence [...]
on being mentally exhausted and also, a mother. and a wannabe bitch.
March 8, 2008 – 4:10 pm
OMG does this make me a post-post-feminist?
I grabbed Bitch off my shelf of books I have had forfreakingever but haven’t read. I’m like 3 pages into the introduction and I’m seriously annoyed that every single example Elizsabeth Wurtzel has given of bad-girl-ness involves women engaged in sexy badness, being the bad girl of men’s wet [...]
i have to get something off my chest
February 19, 2008 – 7:13 pm
It’s a twenty pound toddler girl child who is driving me fucking insane. The night weaning? It’s over. I royally screwed up last week when she went through the 2 a.m. wake up and play spell, then with the flu… Someone tell me what the hell I was thinking? I am the poster child for [...]
bothersome ideas about ppd
February 13, 2008 – 8:55 pm
OK. I read on Hathor about this bill wherein the US government is apparently going to grant doctors the ability to practically, if not literally, force new mothers to take SSRIs if they “fail” a mandatory PPD screening. Well, yes, as this is clearly a disgusting travesty of Big Brother Evil, I got all ready [...]
one hundred ninety and a weight loss rant
February 2, 2008 – 11:37 am
I just weighed in, and found that I’m ten pounds lighter than my weight when we conceived and after my giant-blimp-water-retention-borderline-pre-eclampsia weight dropped.
Oh my Goddess the squee!
I’d set a goal of losing 20 pounds before my clinic’s big fundraiser gala on February 24th. So I’m halfway there and honestly, if I went crazy and dieted and junk [...]
i feel a letter to the editor coming on
February 1, 2008 – 10:00 pm
From my local paper today:
The report blamed another 188 deaths on sudden infant death syndrome. More than half of those deaths were attributed to such risky behaviors as adults sharing beds with infants or mothers who smoke.
Fuck. I’m too lazy to write a letter to the editor and too pissed off to not. For the [...]
blog for choice: contemplating the spiritual experience of abortion
January 22, 2008 – 3:59 pm
For some reason I’m feeling raw-emotional today. I can’t think of any meaningful thing to post, but I’m reading Abortion Clinic Days and feeling teary and complex and thinking of my women friends-allies at the clinic and acknowledging the depth and breadth of our patients’ experiences… just sinking back into the memories of working there and how [...]
very good argument against hospital births
January 20, 2008 – 3:06 pm
I don’t know how to link to a specific comment, or if it’s possible, but I just read this in a thread on Feministing about home birth legislation, and I could scream for this mama:
I had a hospital birth with my first daughter…the birth itself went ok, it was the aftercare that nearly killed her. [...]
