~LS~ — Fri, 30 Jul 2004 04:50:00 +0000

I'm blogging Netscape foo again. I don't even no what to call this trivial crap but I find myself reading it over and over again. It's like crackerjacks. I hate crackerjacks. I hate peanuts. I like the caramel pop corn, but it sticks in my teeth and... Read more

Women in rock: some things never change

~LS~ — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:09:30 +0000

Baton Rouge has a new radio station: 103.3. Well, not a new radio station but an old station with a new format. The new format is "Music for Generation X." That's me, of course. The old format was "Divas" -- not for me. I listened to the station... Read more

Whoopi ~ Rape-rape

~LS~ — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 03:34:30 +0000

I adore Whoopi. She can do little wrong in my eyes. I'm soooo disappointed in her lame defense of Roman Polanski. I don't know what to think. It's like her brain slid out of her head and onto the... Read more

Wannabe feminism

It is no accident that Enlightened Sexism, Susan J. Douglas’s new book, opens with a discussion of the Spice Girls. The Spice Girls represent the negation of feminism by commercial cooptation. Girl Power, which the Spice Girls placed front and... Read more

Over Thanksgiving I had a conversation with my mother-in-law about women doctors. She explained that she had to see a woman eye doctor because her regular doctor was unavailable and that this made her uncomfortable. I recognize that some people are... Read more

Sweet Honey in the Rock and Some Political Thoughts

~LS~ — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:56:00 +0000

Sweet Honey in the Rock is one of my all-time favorite musical groups. I got to thinking about Sweet Honey the other day when I was donating my clothing and I wrote about the politics of second-hand clothing. In learning about what actually happens... Read more

Some things: 1. I've been working on another website. I find when I do that, I tend to disapper because I'm so immersed. Incidentally, the website is mygratitudes.net. There's nothing up yet but junk and filler, but I'm having fun working away on... Read more

Sexual Violence

These are all from Kimberly Munroe who used to work at Wellness Education at LSU. She is no longer there. She came into the Comm and Gender class before she left. I mean to blog these sites earlier but I forgot. I remembered them when cleaning out... Read more

Sexism Sells

~LS~ — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:40:00 +0000

This is a great(?) erm, SHOCKING video about the sexism in the coverage of Hillary's campaign. It was made by the women's media center. It's very well done. And of course the most offensive comments come from... Read more
