    It’s stated clearly in the Discussion Rules that all comments are moderated. Usually before you comment on a site you should do a brief check to see if there is a posted discussion rules/guidelines and familiarize yourself with the code of conduct of that blog before posting. Blogs with some sort of policy will usually post [...]

    For a general idea of the roles men play specifically in the radical feminist anti-porn movement, I would suggest reading up on relevant articles written by radical anti-porn feminists and (in cases where such questions would be welcome) asking various radical anti-porn feminists their personal opinions. My opinion isn’t really relevant in this case, because [...]

    You know what, I began typing out a comment trying — yet again — to explain to you that you aren’t arguing with what I’ve wrote here because you aren’t understanding what I’ve wrote. But, really, why should I spend time communicating with someone who is quite clearly not willing to do the same for [...]

    Thanks for the heads up, but as I said I felt an e-mail would be invasive when it was clear to me (based on the evidence at hand, which turned out to be faulty) that she was not interested in having contact with me. This is especially so when her e-mail is not readily available [...]

    I have a feeling this comment will be censored.

    And for that line alone I almost did choose not to allow this past moderation. Frankly, only trolls call choosing to maintain respectful dialogue by implementing discussion rules and moderation “censorship”. And even if you’re not purposely trolling (which you may not be, given that the rest of [...]

    Thanks for the heads up, but saying “I don’t mean to be disrespectful” and then saying something completely disrespectful is not allowed on this blog. This is your first, and last, warning. And, frankly, you’re assuming bad faith on my part by assuming that there were no legitimate reasons for me to believe that my comments [...]

    I didn’t feel that it belonged in the post, but for the purposes of a public record (and being fair) here’s what I said on Twitter after I posted the reply that later got deleted:

    And this is the last time I’m ever going to Go Make Me a Sandwhich: http://bit.ly/hcpo8y Feminists defending misogyny makes me [...]

    ETA 2011/03/06: It turns out that my comments were marked as spam, not deleted; they have now been published. For some reason Blogspot, unlike WordPress (which most of my experience is with), displays your comment as properly posted after you hit the “post comment” button, even when it’s been marked as spam. I’m leaving the post [...]

    Nefer: Actually, I have played all the way through the second. Just because I didn’t finish the first game is no reason to assume that I hadn’t played through any of the other games, especially because I state quite clearly that I’m a fan of the series. It’s also no reason to assume that I don’t know [...]

    @Shiyiya: And you can’t even talk to her about it; she made it very clear on the Sexist Beatdown thread with her defensive, sarcastic, and downright rude responses to Laurie who pointed out the problem with Sady’s framing of female archetypes (the same issue I had that prompted me to read the post in the [...]

  • tekanji commented on the blog post This is why I hardly read blogs anymore   1 year, 3 months ago · View

    @Foreign-eyes: From what she said in the comments, Sady apparently doesn’t have a problem with ableist slurs. Which, you know, is her right, but I find it deeply disturbing that she sees herself as “acknowledging and respecting” those who do. Respecting someone is incompatible with saying, “I know this hurts you but I’m going to [...]

    In the past year the amount of (feminist) blogs that I read regularly, or even on an occasional basis, has shrunk to fit on one hand. Literally, aside from keeping up with Iris, the only blogs I regularly read are Hoyden About Town , The Border House , Geek Feminism , Sociological Images , and Shakesville. That’s it. There are a few more that I’ll [...]

    Just posting here to let everyone know that I’ve written a post about sexism in Stardock’s new game Elemental: War of Magic over at Better by Design : Stardock’s Elemental and what it says about the state of games Here’s an excerpt:

    Some of you might notice that the blog has a new look; this is because I’ve moved over to WPMU and am using the new default WordPress theme. Still busy with school, still no time to blog, though. Sorry! PS. For the first time in the blog’s history I’ve enabled user registration, so if you’re [...]

  • tekanji wrote a new blog post: Brian Ashcraft, let me do your homework for you   1 year, 10 months ago · View

    In Kotaku’s grand tradition of shoddy reporting and lack of any decent research, Brian Ashcraft has written an impassioned but so supremely hypocritical article on the RapeLay controversy ( link roundup ) that I felt compelled to briefly bring this blog temporary out of retirement in order to take it down. Since this topic is triggering, the rest of the [...]

    I know this blog is in retirement (my internet time these days is practically nill), but when I saw Meloukhia’s An Open Letter to Feministing (hat-tip: Hoyden About Town) I had to cosign it.

    Yes, it’s that important.

  • tekanji wrote a new blog post: Update on AmazonFail   2 years, 9 months ago · View

    First off, it has been noted that the de-ranking wasn’t limited to GLBT issues and erotica, but also notably affected books on disability and sexuality as well as feminist books, books on sexuality, and books on topics such as suicide prevention and rape. In terms of the massive PR fail that has been going on, Amazon went [...]
