I just found the most awesomest blog, I Blame the Patriarchy. It is so smartly written and she has a penchant for photographing insects and what she has for dinner. Plus, she lives in Austin.
It seems that over the last 20 years it has almost become "quaint" to mention patriarchy as a cause of anything...even in sociology! I mentioned the term "sexism" in a research proposal last year as a legitimate concept that had bearing on a theory I wanted to test and the professor was questioning its usefulness. I admit it is difficult to operationalize but why are sociologists so afraid to talk about it? It's like sexism is so 70's or something. So anyway I love this woman's blog because she unapologetically points out the concrete ways male supremacy operates in day to day life to fuck us over. Plus the insect identification thing reminds me of an entymologist I knew long ago, and miss.
