Relativity: Once upon a nanny
January 18, 2012
Once upon a time I was a nanny. It’s come up before in passing. But despite my time in the trenches bonding and helping to raise so many kids in so many years, I still feel overwhelmed and perplexed by my own offspring at times. I should be better at this, I find myself thinking. […]
TMF: Name that sexism
January 17, 2012
Quick! Check out this t-shirt I spotted in the girl’s side of the toddler section and tell me why I just had to call it out for the first TMF: Tired Marketing FAIL! of the year. And… go!
Out with the old, in with the new
January 10, 2012
Hey there, Tired Feminist fans. I’m glad you’ve hung in there and patiently waited for some new posts. I apologize for being a bit negligent. It seems my baby decided that the spoils of daycare should be at least one illness a week that pretty much brings the entire house to a grinding halt. Perhaps […]
Yes, Virginia, you do make Christmas special
December 23, 2011
This was originally posted on Christmas Eve 2010 but my sentiment is the same. Please enjoy this classic post: Christmas has never been my favorite time of year. In fact, my favorite holiday is Halloween. Perhaps it’s because I grew up near the poverty line and we struggled so much to just have food on […]
Why unemployment insurance is a women’s issue
December 8, 2011
Today the HERVotes Coalition is hosting a blog carnival (follow posts from across the country on twitter via the #HERVotes hashtag) about women and the economy, and in particular unemployment insurance. I know, I know. Unemployment insurance. Glamorous stuff. But that’s just the thing. Unemployment insurance, like so many aspects of the down economy — […]
Domestic Goddess
December 5, 2011
So, I’ve been ruminating on the domestic sphere ever since I read my Fem2.0 colleague Maggie Arden’s piece about the intersection of the domesticity craze — think Etsy, Stitch-n-Bitch circles, and subversive cupcakes — and feminism. In truth, I didn’t really want to write about this stuff, because it feels like deja vu all over […]
That yuletide thing
November 26, 2011
Love can make you greedy. I know this idea flies in the face of that famous Bible scripture that you always hear at weddings, “Love is patient, love is kind…” Don’t get me wrong. I get that message. And I even aspire to that kind of patience. I aspire to be that free of my […]
Oops! Happy Anniversary!
November 22, 2011
Oh boy. I’ve been so busy stirring up controversy over on my other blog, The Sin City Siren, that I’ve been neglecting The Tired Feminist! It ain’t easy being a one-woman show! And this blog’s name is truth in advertising; I am tired! But can it be that I completely forgot the first anniversary of […]
Rally recap and updates
November 15, 2011
We saw. We organized. We rallied! Saturday’s rally against hate speech and jokes about rape was a success thanks to the hard work and quick response of a lot of great people in the community. We had a nice turnout of about three dozen people, including parents, activists, advocates for survivors of sexual violence, and […]
