The Egyptian goddess Isis was celebrated as the ideal wife and mother. The blogger known as Dr. Isis has some fancy-sounding degrees and is a physiologist at a major research university working on some terribly impressive stuff. She blogs about balancing her research career with the demands of raising small children, how to succeed as a woman in academia, and anything else she finds interesting. Also, she blogs about shoes. In fact, she blogs a lot about shoes.


...And behold, he raised the motherfucking Jameson on high as Isis bedecked her feet in glory, and the masses were sated. -- The Holy Gospel According to PhysioProf

An Open Letter...

Category: Open Letter
Posted on: April 1, 2009 10:41 AM, by Isis the Scientist

...to the hairy-legged man hater of ScienceBlogs.

Bitch,

Today began as a good day. I had my coffee, enjoyed an apple, and was quietly surfing ScienceBlogs when I saw this shit. I mean, what the fuck, Zuska? I can only think of two reasons why you would post this:

1) You've realized what a great thing I've got going over here, blending hot science with domestic goddess-ness, and you're trying to steal my schtick. If this is true, I think that it is great that you've realized that this radical feminism you had ascribed to in the past does nothing but turn men off, but there's only room for one of us at ScienceBlogs. I had always secretly thought that you were so cranky because you weren't getting fucked enough. These shoes will definitely make you more attractive to men and perhaps, ultimately, more pleasant.

2) You're outright mocking me.

Unfortunately, I'm thinking the second is true.

Either way, I am unamused, Zuska. I had thought you and I had reached some common ground and that we could peacefully coexist at ScienceBlogs. I even tolerated your feminazi bullshit on my Barbie post.

I can see that I was wrong. You are dead to me.

I hope you choke,
Isis

Deshalb lehne ich 1 April ab, zu viel Stierscheisser.

Ha! I knew it. You wimminz can only be nice to each other at a superficial level, but the bitching would start sooner or later! Now please drop this yanking the patriarchal script with your nuanced feminism shit, both of you, and start fighting but make sure to eventually segue into passionate lovemaking in an appropriately male audience arousing manner. And post videos.

It is fascinating that men always assume that all women will eventually launch into a catfight. I think it's wishful thinking.
Happy April Fools!

@stickypaws: It is fascinating that women always assume that men always assume that all women will eventually launch into a catfight. For the record, I took Dr. Isis' post as the joke it was meant to be. My response, for the humor impaired, was also meant to be taken as a joke.

Settle down lil sister! Don't get all hysterical just because a real blogger tweaks your pert little nose. Are you really that insecure? Jesus Christ on a Popsicle stick, take a chill pill.

This killed me dead. DEAD I tell you! I love April Fool's Day on the blogosphere...I think I'll go tell someone I wrote the Great American Novel and used the advance to pay off my student loans...*snicker*

This is magnificent. It's even better than PhysioProf's April Fools promise to eschew profanity forevermore and blog according to the will of his readers, last year.

Now. Back to a post of mine I've daily tried to finish since March 26th.

April fool's joke or no April fool's joke, doesn't matter. Get your hot science right here!

Haha, the way you cross your legs in the pictures over at Zuska's gives you away! I read most of your post before going over to Zuska's, and just thought 'dear god, she's trying to increase her traffic for the APS award by starting a fight'. AHAHAHAA!

I had always secretly thought that you were so cranky because you weren't getting fucked enough.

Aw, you made my day. Made it! Here I was, picking out lab space and trying to be nice and as neutral as possible to my potential new colleagues and oh.my.god. that gave me a laugh!

I find you neither "sweet" nor "innocent."

Posted by: Isis the Scientist | April 1, 2009 5:31 PM

Who, what, me??? Sweet yes, innocent no! You must be talking about someone else!!

As a heterosexual male, I never understood the whole "cat fight" fetish.

And I'm always cranky because I'm not getting fucked enough. Maybe I should get different shoes?

...

F*ck**. All these years and no one told me it was 'all about the shoes'..?!?


I feel like my life is . . .wasted.

I can't figure out if this is serious or not. Blog text is so subjective.
