Surviving “going viral,” or, how I launched a national conversation about abortion
Is this what it feels like when you decide to “Say Yes” in life? I am exhausted. I am touched. I am amazed. I am horrified. I am in awe. Last week I did the same thing I do every week (several times a week): I wrote a blog post. Same as I ever do. […]
Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 15, 2012
Passing this along from some friends in the LGBTQ community: This is an annual event to help bring about Awareness, Education, and Support to the Transgender Community. It is an event which we recognize the lives of those who were slain in hate crimes because of who they were. Everyone is invited to attend even […]
Memo to Facebook: Rape is no joke
November 4, 2011
It’s not rape if you yell surprise. Riding your girl softly, Cause you don’t want her to wake up. Kicking sluts in the vagina because it’s funny watching your foot disappear. 1.5 million ‘likes’ and I’ll rape my Mom! What’s 10 inches and gets girls to have sex with me? My knife. These are a […]
Feminist Files: It’s a jungle out there
October 18, 2011
Is it something in the air? If you think there is no War on Women, you haven’t been paying attention to the full-scale attack on Planned Parenthood — which is nothing short of an indictment on women’s reproductive health care. And it’s not just about PP, people. The GOP is willing to let pregnant women […]

Hate speech sucks
March 22, 2011
The following post comes from Erin Davies, owner of the fagbug. Long-time readers may recall that The Sin City Siren’s first community project was bringing Davies to Las Vegas as part of her 41-state, cross-country trip to talk about homophobia and hate crimes. Gay Filmmaker Gets Death Threat on SUNY Campus By Erin Davies In […]
Smith and Boehner: The Rape Nazis
January 31, 2011
Are you cringing at the title of this post? Well… Good! You should be! Because the new GOP-led Congress is putting its full weight and attention right between your legs — looking for any way possible to take control of a woman’s reproductive rights! (Another working title for this post was, “Dr. HappyRape, or How […]
Hello 2011: Bring it on!
December 30, 2010
I’m not doing a year-in-review this year. And it’s not because nothing interesting happened. Indeed, I’d say 2010 was a pretty full year: health care reform, Prop 8 overturned, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, natural disasters (including devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Chile as well as the Icelandic volcano), the BP oil spill, Team Coco, […]
What you missed on The Sin City Siren this week
December 17, 2010
If you are reading The Tired Feminist, I love you. This is a brand new blog and I am pouring my heart and soul into it. (And I hope you don’t mind while I tinker with the design here and there.) But have you checked out my other blog, The Sin City Siren? The three-year-old […]
