WTF

I check my Twitter account like once per like three months so this is "old" news. One of my "followers" is this thing which does a really good job of both implying that only WOMEN like talking about fashion, decor, and food AND that women ONLY like talking about fashion, decor and food (see what I did there?).

Anyway, how much you want to bet if you asked these ladies what their views on feminism are, they would be like OMG FEMINISM LOOOVE IT because, you know, "being feminine" is the same thing as being feminist :(.

P.S. HI FROM ST LOUIS! Not much to report save that my partner in stuff, Stuart, is helping the Women's Law Caucus at WashU with their website, and says that they're one of the most powerful groups on campus, which is cool. Related: East Coasters think that St. Louis is "backwater" when it comes to social issues, women's issues, etc. HA! HAHAHAhaha! ha. Oh dear. Right about then in the conversation is when I whip out various Sally Kern anecdotes, etc. Heart y'all.

Sally Kern wants you to stay together for the kids

I was going to write about the Gender and Women's Studies conference at OSU last weekend, but it was canceled due to it requiring ice skates or a dog sled team complete with Sarah-Palin-style moose chili to get there (Roads were icy in case that's not clear!).

Instead I'll post about Kern's latest bullshit legislation:

Scheduled for introduction in the 2010 legislative session by state Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, House Bill 2279 would restrict the "use of incompatibility as a ground for divorce" in Oklahoma.

The bill would not allow for divorce on the basis of incompatibility if:

* There are living minor children of the marriage
* The parties have been married 10 years or longer
* Either party files a written objection to the granting of a divorce

Pissed? She's up for re-election in 2010. Donate to her opponent or if you live in HD 84, VOTE! Brittany Novotny is, as Pearl said, the antithesis to Sally Kern.
