Have you ever noticed that the langauge around being fat is different for men and women? Men get terms like “King Size’ and “Big and Tall” when their sizes go past an Extra Large. Women get “Plus Size” when their size goes past a Large. While women get shamed for being larger, men are made to feel “big and tall” and like “kings”

This is how I feel about creationists and anti-vaccination promoters a lot of the time. It’s rude, it’s insulting and fuck it’s worth it.

So a friend on facebook who I thought was a reasonable person decides to come out as an anti-vaxxor and ruin my illusion.

It really annoys me when people say that gays and lesbians shouldn’t be able to adopt, foster or have IVF treatments or have children in any way.

So this seething mass of misognynistic fail found it’s way into the comments section of this post a few days ago. Is it any surprised that a man sent this too me?

Sorry all, I’ve been away on a business trip for the better part a few weeks.

We’ll be back to our regularily scheduled program soon.

This was originally posted here but I love it so much that I would like to share it with my readers.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I will never ever be arrogant enough to be a theist. I’m simply incapable of getting my head around the thought that the entire universe with all its galaxies and planets was built entirely for one species – humans.

My parents have been married a long time. Nearly 26 years. I hope one day to be able to join them in this endeavour and be married to my partner for that long.

But I can’t.

Because I’m gay and gays in Australia can’t get married.

Reposted from here with permission from the original authour. I thought this was a great idea for an online store to do. They also have a layby feature where you can put a deposit on their clothing and pay the order off over time. Read about it here.

My housemate is sick which means the whole house is sick and everyone we come in contact with will get sick.

It’s not surprising since my housemate runs a family daycare.

I often wonder how many people who are against concepts like same sex marriage or transgender children are against them not because they are bigots but simply because they won’t be able to handle change.

The amazing Juliewashere posted a new blog here asking her readers what they regret the most about being childfree. I thought I would respond with my own answer. My answers are strickingly simialiar to hers becase – we’re childfree by choice, a choice which isn’t made lightly and while some people regret their choices, you’d be hard pressed to find a childfree person that has interacted or grown up around children who regrets their choice to be childfree. Brace yourselves – sarcasm is coming.

One thing I’ve noticed, which I find very strange is the rates of people religious and non-religious (especailly non-religous people) who get offended when I don’t reply “Happy Easter” or “Merry Christmas” to them. I mean they get really offended to the point where they will repeat saying “Happy Easter” or “Merry Christmas” over and over pointedly as a passive-aggressive way of getting me to reply in the same way.

Since I am not a fan of conspiracy theories, woo, quackery, psychics or anti-vaccinators (anti-vaxxors), I thought I would repost this blog to help people get a better understanding of how these types of misinformation spreads and gets out of control. The scoiology of the anti-vaxxor movement can be applied to any movement that is based on conspiracy theory with a heavy anti-science base.

Enjoy. I’m off to play Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines for the millionth time.

I was going to do a post on the Steubenville rape verdit but this post by the great Henry Rollins himself pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.

Once again there are morons on Twitter who deserve to be mocked relentlessly because they seem to think their public forum discussions are protected by free speech therefore no-one can disagree with them.

Yeah well, when your IQ and general arguments are lower than that of a young earth creationist, mocking is all I have because logic sure as shit doesn’t work on these people.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about how lesbians have sex and accusations that I’m not a real lesbian since I own sex toys. I thought I would repost this very articulate in-depth slightly naughty article as a middle finger towards those who try to police my sexuality. Original article.

TRIGGER WARNING: Some very naughty words and/or concepts.
