Churlish Feminism ahoy! January 28, 2006

Twisty mentions a lovely peach of a guy whose blog seems to focus largely on telling feminists not to be so mean all the time. That, and how horrifyingly disturbing Bitch Ph.D.’s banner image is.

One of my favorite posts is this one, where he’s distressed over how mean and angry those wicked feminists are. Oh, wahhhh. One sign reads, “Keep your laws off my body, and I’ll keep my hands off your throat!”

Threats of violence: OK for GWB, “Churlish” for feminists!

And remember, being polite and civil is what really helped women advance their cause.

Hello, world! Welcome to Ascending Node. As it says in the header graphic, “ascending node” is an astronomy term meaning “the point in the orbit of an object when it crosses the ecliptic whilst moving south to north”. I picked this as the title of my blog mainly because it has a nice ring to it: it flows nicely from the tongue and implies someone who is coming up in the world. I also chose it because I am interested in becoming a Physicist when I grow up.

I’m 23, a woman, a feminist, and determined to ascend in this world.

Thanks for visiting.
