Hideous Apology

[clevermanka]

I would like to offer a public apology for my statement earlier this week linking the use of certain academic feminist rhetorical terms with a poor sex life. Just because I dislike the phrase doesn't mean everyone using it is frigid or undersexed. I stand by my opinion that the wording of the phrase is sexist, divisive, and detrimental to equality, but that doesn't mean the people who use the phrase need a good fuck to lighten up.

Today I'm starting a Hideous Scarf. As I wrote bestill this morning:

"I want a scarf that will make me laugh enough that I forget for a moment why I have to put it on. I'm using a black furry *and* puffy Moda Dea yarn, coupled with a varigated pastel orange/yellow/green cheap Red Heart worsted weight yarn. This will be great."

Last night we lost power around 9:00 p.m. I was so close to finishing Daddy's xmas present, too. Grr. I was on button #3 of 5. Can you believe it? I sewed them on this morning, though, and now it's all wrapped and ready to go. I sure hope we don't have this weather next weekend when we gotta drive to the airport.

Geez. You're so serious about not offending people. Stop being so uptight. You really ought to get laid. It'll help. Trust me.

(And sending pictures of the event? Soul-replenishing. Promise.)

You really ought to get laid.

I'll take that under advisement.

It doesn't form a cornerstone of feminist study. It's one little discursive tool.

You're taking things out of context, Gareth. She's talking about the wording of the phrase, there. She said the field was not in a place to do away with the wording.

Keep the flames away, please. Thanks.

Seen these () yet?

You've got a typo in your HTML. You mean these (http://www.twinkiechan.com/TwinkieChan%20-%20Gallery.htm), yes?

And no, I hadn't seen those. I really want the fuzzy salad one. And maybe the buttered toast. But definitely the salad.
