Infertility is a bunch of arse
Posted in motherhood sux, pregnancy and birth on April 30, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Someone close to me is experiencing infertility and it is a bastard of an experience to go through. A fucking bastard. And what seems to make it worse are all the really, really stupid things people say to them while they’re going through it. Here is a wonderful post from a little pregnant about just [...]

An oldie but a goodie. I wrote this post in a fury one evening and several days later regretted it thinking it was dreadfully self-pitying and boring and that I should go back and delete it immediately. I went on-line to find that it had taken on a life of its own since. Lots and [...]

I feel so frustrated at the moment because I am just never, never getting time to write here properly. All will get better soon when I get through some deadlines but in the meantime I wanted to prove to you that, you know, I actually used to write my thoughts and feelings here on this [...]

By which I mean not just the big question of stay at home, go to work, a bit of both or something in [...]

How we mothers used sex to trap men and get their sperm

Women talking about the histories of their sexual desire. Is an interesting read over at Echidne of the Snakes. What I wish to write about now is women’s sexual desire. My focus will be on heterosexual desire because I am a heterosexual goddess, but I hope that others can tell me more about lesbian women’s [...]
Good writing

I am a little tired of reading well-intentioned, but badly written posts by white feminists about ‘unidentified privilege’. And I have contributed a few of my own to this list. The sanctimony, the preachiness, the patronising tones. It sure is the blogging topic du jour for us, and yet so much of this writing comes [...]
