People naturally expect a level of offensive behavior at a comedy show. However, a recent performance by Johnny Vegas crossed the line from offensive to criminal, and most people just sat back and laughed at the victim’s expense.

And right on the heels of all the articles talking about the sexism involved in vegan activism, we have some gross sexism coming from the meat industry. I’m not sure Carol Adam’s book title “The Pornography of Meat” has ever had this literal a representation before. These are some of the sickest images [...]

As many of you know, I don’t believe we should exclude one cause to promote another. That’s why I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with the vegan/animal rights/animal welfare communities (I had to throw animal welfare in there because I’m going to be talking about PETA who is definitely not either a vegan or animal [...]

Someone pointed me in the direction of this link yesterday and I just had to re-post it as well. Joss Whedon is one of my favorite feminist men, second only to my beloved husband The Angry Hippie. I love his work and Buffy has been my favorite television show of all time [...]

The following is a post Reverence Lily wrote for her blog and decided not to use. She offered it to me and I thought it was too good not to see the light of day. So without further ado…
