I learned about the Series to Finish Challenge right here on WordPress. Basically, you challenge yourself to finish some book series over the course of 2020. It doesn’t matter how many books you have left in the series. It could be 1 or (as in my case) 13. You can pick any series, so longContinue reading “2020 Series To Finish Challenge”

December DNFs

I’m trying to do a lot less DNFing, but sometimes, I’m just not feeling a book. Here are the books I couldn’t push through in December 2019. The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston I didn’t know anything about this book before downloading the audio book via my library’s Overdrive collection. Honestly, the only reason IContinue reading “December DNFs”

The Vitriolic, Woman-Bashing, and Male-Genocide-Promoting Hatred of PinkPill Feminism

The Incels’ main gathering space on reddit, r/braincels, was banned in September of this year, along with r/geekcels and several other smaller incel subs. Several documentaries have been made about how entitled and hateful incels are. r/inceltears is a huge subreddit dedicated to taking screenshots and mocking incels. Despite the mocking and mass-banning of theContinue reading “The Vitriolic, Woman-Bashing, and Male-Genocide-Promoting Hatred of PinkPill Feminism”

4 Star Review: The Family Upstairs

I decided to read this book because I saw it was one of Colleen Hoover’s current reads. While I wasn’t a fan of “November 9,” when I gave Hoover a second chance and read “It Ends With Us,” she freaking blew me away. So now I follow her on goodreads and, apparently, take recommendations fromContinue reading “4 Star Review: The Family Upstairs”

Why Are So Many Feminists Pretending Women's Pants Don't Have Pockets?

I’ll cut right to the chase. I’m sick of feminists straight-up lying that women’s clothes don’t have pockets. I don’t even use pockets and every fucking pair of pants in my closet has pockets. Do you hear me? I don’t use pockets and yet all my pants have them. Large pockets big enough for myContinue reading “Why Are So Many Feminists Pretending Women's Pants Don't Have Pockets?”

EmOTioNAl LAboR: Just One of the Many Reasons I'm Parting Ways With Feminism

I’ve been calling myself a feminist since I was ten years old. I grew up in the heyday of the SpiceGirls. Girl Power. Girls are just as strong as boys. All of that. I believed in feminism with all of my heart. Moving into my teenage years, I became more serious about my feminism. IContinue reading “EmOTioNAl LAboR: Just One of the Many Reasons I'm Parting Ways With Feminism”

WorldBuilding: Crafting Magic — A Writer’s Path

by Whitney Carter Fantasy is virtually synonymous with magic, all the way from fireball wielding sorcerers to dragons to simple elemental manipulations. It is in our epic tales, slaying wicked villains, enabling bold heroes, creating social divides and protective wards alike. Given how varied in trait and definition “magic” can be, you’d be […] WorldBuilding: CraftingContinue reading “WorldBuilding: Crafting Magic — A Writer’s Path”

Five Examples of Internalized Misogyny in The Romance Genre

I love romance. Really, I do. But dammit if that genre isn’t on a level of internalized misogyny cringe that r/redpillwomen wishes it could reach (keep trying, ladies. That post about how women are water waiting to be molded by men-the supposed ‘containers for women’-came pretty darn close.) Let’s dig into it. Internalized misogyny. Go!Continue reading “Five Examples of Internalized Misogyny in The Romance Genre”
