A Bit of Feminist Humor

By thusspakezuska on August 3, 2007.

Thanks to B. Cohen for sending me this link to an installment of McSweeney's Annals of Science. Oh, the mighty struggle of sperm to fertilize egg! That's just good readin'. You'll want to scroll on down and read about electrovibratory massage as well. You may recall I mentioned an essay by Rachel Maines in the last Friday Bookshelf. If this bit on electrovibratory massage piques your interest, maybe you'll want to check out her whole book, The Technology of Orgasm. And if you like the last bit on the McSweeney's link about Stormin' Norman, then by all means do check out Carol Cohn's essay "Sex and Death in the Rational World of Defense Intellectuals", also referred to in the last Friday Bookshelf.

Who says feminists don't have a sense of humor?

Around the Web: People misbehaving on the Internet
Usually my Around the Web posts are full of pink fluffy bunny ain't-the-Internet-grand kind of links. Oh, sure, I do link to the occasional train wreck but that's rare. I really prefer that strategy because I tend to be an optiministic (if slightly cautious) person by nature. But everyone loves…
Books: "Evolution's Rainbow" by Joan Roughgarden
I wrote this book review back on February 18, 2006. Under the fold... I see that Joan Roughgarden has a new paper in Science this week: Reproductive Social Behavior: Cooperative Games to Replace Sexual Selection Theories about sexual selection can be traced back to Darwin in 1871. He proposed that…
