In Defense of Affirmative Action: Responding to Ideafication

Yvette L. posted an article on - Nov 29, 2010, 3:57 am
I was asked by the writer of Ideafication to respond to his post on “Reverse Racism”, as I’d responded to an earlier post of his responding to an earlier post of mine. Whew, that was a mouthful. I figure since I need to post here more often, I may as well make a post out of my response. Hurray...

To Those Who Would Deny Rape Culture

Yvette L. posted an article on - Oct 21, 2010, 11:09 am
To those who would deny rape culture, I have a few things to share with you today. Yes, I know, like all people of privilege, you want to deny that you have privilege. And yes, those who deny rape culture are protecting their privilege as males, socially defended male access to women’s bodies, wil...

A Politically Incorrect Defense of Political Correctness

Yvette L. posted an article on - Oct 20, 2010, 7:50 pm
The word “political correctness” saw it’s modern use begin with the right wing, and it should come as no surprise that the word inherently supports a white, male, upper/middle class, able, ethnocentric and imperialist worldview. I’m going to talk a little about how deriding left-wing efforts...

America is an imperialist nation

Yvette L. posted an article on - Aug 8, 2010, 8:28 pm
I’m tired of this myth that America is and has always been a paragon of freedom, a beacon of light, purely innocent and purely good in the world. Americans naturally object to the idea that their nation has historically been imperialist and continues to be so in the modern day. Imperialism, in ca...

Blame the womens

Yvette L. posted an article on - Jun 19, 2010, 7:39 pm
When men fail, we seem to find it hard to lay the blame on them when there’s a woman in close proximity. Sara Carbonero, a beautiful sideline reporter and girlfriend of Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas, is being blamed by some fans for Spain’s shocking World Cup loss to Switzerland on Wednesda...

Follow-up: Pro-rape advocacy, "male rights", and rape culture

Yvette L. posted an article on - Jun 11, 2010, 5:59 pm
Yup, that’s right ladies and gentlemen. Today we’ll be revisiting our earlier discussion with pro-rape advocate and libertarian Eivind Berge (#8 in the Worst People Awards) in order to finish demolishing his argument (that’s right, we weren’t done!) and to set the stage for our next post on ...

Reflections on the BP oil leak

Yvette L. posted an article on - Jun 4, 2010, 2:52 am
I won’t waste any of your time telling you what you already know about the BP oil leak. Instead, I want to take a moment to ask you to consider the reality of our American lifestyle. No matter how hard we push for environmentalist policies, we have to face the facts: we are a corporate, consumer n...

New post at ACP: Christianity vs. Islam: which threatens America more?

Yvette L. posted an article on - Jun 2, 2010, 9:11 pm
I’ve made a post over at Anti-Christian Phenomenon—a multi-author blog which I’ve been rather lazy about contributing to, I’m afraid—arguing that Christianity presents a larger threat to Americans than Islam.

EIVIND BERGE: Pro-rape advocate & pals

Yvette L. posted an article on - May 31, 2010, 1:47 am
So apparently there are pro-rape advocates in the world. I’m not talking, men and women who come up with weak excuses for this or that specific rape. I’m not talking, “well she was a slut…” or “well she was a temptress dressing that way…”. I’m talking, actually advocating that wome...

Anti-religion bus ads get…no complaints?

Yvette L. posted an article on - May 27, 2010, 9:46 pm
Hey, look at this. Ads going up encouraging people to leave their religion have produced no complaints. "Fatwa on your head?" a new series of provocative ads on New York City buses asks. "Is your community or family threatening you? Leaving Islam?" The ads, sponsored by an organization called Stop...

Arizona's new anti-brown law

Yvette L. posted an article on - Apr 29, 2010, 4:42 pm
That’s right, Arizona’s come out of the closet: they now admit to considering it a problem to be brown. But how can that be true? According to CNN: The law requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to s...

Tea Party "Revolutionaries"

Yvette L. posted an article on - Apr 14, 2010, 2:34 pm
Just a few mini-rants between classes on the self-designated “revolutionaries”. I’m getting sick of these guys. The media’s afraid of being called liberal, as usual, and is playing it safe and not calling Tea Partiers out. Instead they’re covering them like they’re a legitimate "grassroo...

I’m extremely busy with school (of course) so a bit of this is spliced from various school essays. I’ll be looking at some of the major problems with journalism day, not in term of profits but in terms of coverage. Modern journalism consists of a daily race for scoops that offer little to no r...

Palin suggests Obama copied her

Yvette L. posted an article on - Dec 11, 2009, 3:05 am
I think Palin has actually outdone herself, in her comments about President Obama’s acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize: Palin said the president’s remarks had a familiar ring. “I thumbed through my book quickly this morning to say ‘Wow! That really sounded familiar.’ because I ta...

The Victim Oppressors

Yvette L. posted an article on - Dec 9, 2009, 12:29 pm
It’s always been easy for the oppressor in oppressor-oppressed relationships to deny the oppression of one group and to claim that they, in fact, are the victims in the situation. This goes for whites and POC, men and women, adults and children, rich and poor, first world and third world, heterose...

Update on the last post

Just updated my last post, and feel it’s significant enough to note. It’s the final nail in Eivind’s coffin, and while I’m sure he’ll write up something about refusing to accept it because it clashes with his worldview, that’s the end of the conversation for me. I also suggest Eivind Ber...
