Modesty is RelativePosted by Sarahbear on August 2, 2011
Someone I know linked a tumblr called ‘Tea Party Jesus‘ on their Facebook page today and I’ve been scanning through the crazy all day long. There are 34 pages of postcards with racist, homophobic, sexist, classist, and absolutely ridiculous literal quotes there so you may want to make sure you haven’t met your daily quota [...]
Pink Toe NailsPosted by Sarahbear on April 13, 2011
My friend, Heather, directed me to an article about a photo in a J. Crew catalog that sparked a lot of criticism from a writer for Fox News. With the attacks Dr. Keith Albow lodged against mother, Jenna Lyons, you would think that she had neglected and abused her little boy, Beckett. Yeah, well, it [...]
FrustrationPosted by Sarahbear on March 12, 2011
I just spent about 2 hours, maybe 3, writing a blog. It was sparked by a new bill that was introduced by Rep. Barry Loudermilk which would restrict abortions in Georgia from being performed after the 20th week of pregnancy. Well, that’s what it initially said. Then he added in some more stuff at the [...]
Show and TellPosted by Sarahbear on July 29, 2010
I have been reworking parts of my site lately. Mostly my “What is Sexy by Sarah?” page, but I had thought about removing some of my tags too. I decided that I would remove the ‘feminist’ label from myself because I don’t want to be associated with militant and extreme feminism. It’s the same reason [...]
If I only had a brain…Posted by Sarahbear on May 15, 2010
Very recently, several sex bloggers, sex toy reviewers and I voiced our disagreement with something. Some people understand why we feel that way, but disagree, which I can respect. Others, rather than consider that our opinions were formed based on careful, thoughtful consideration of the events that have unfolded, choose to be dismissive. Our decisions [...]
Book Club: The Purity MythPosted by Sarahbear on May 1, 2010
April’s book choice is The Purity Myth by Jessica Valenti. I read it today after reading Britni’s review of it. I had intended to pick it up earlier this month but our local library doesn’t have much of a selection and I was a bit busy with projects around the house. It slipped my mind. [...]
My Rape StoryPosted by Sarahbear on April 18, 2010
April is sexual assault awareness month and a lot of different bloggers are speaking out about their experiences. Mine is a bit different, I guess, because it’s about statutory rape. I was 14 years old when an older friend of mine (16) began ‘dating’ and having sex with a 28 year old man. She encouraged me [...]
Yes Means Yes, or Pay Attention!Posted by Sarahbear on January 29, 2010
Originally? This started out as a comment to a discussion following one of Britni’s blog posts. I’m verbose enough that it turned into it’s own blog post. There’s just so much important shit to say that it can not be said in a comment. Here we go: In our society women have been trained to [...]
Just Because I’m a WomanPosted by Sarahbear on January 27, 2010
Many female sex bloggers are writing about their experiences with sexual harassment this week. The men they are encountering assume that just because they review sex toys, write erotica and participate in a sex positive community that they are promiscuous. They seem to think that they are owed nude photos, cyber sex, real sexual favors [...]
If She Had Just Been a Better WifePosted by Sarahbear on January 11, 2010
Britni wrote an interesting post today about how sexist the idea of a mistress or woman who cheats on her spouse being called a “homewrecker” is. I’d like to look at another side of this issue that is just as sexist and repulsive. Have you ever heard people callously suggest that a woman hadn’t been [...]
