Being bedridden most of the day yesterday due to ongoing illness, my husband stayed with me and we watched a couple of movies. One in particular is called Romeo Must Die (2000) and it stars Jet Li and the late R&B singer Aaliyah (curiously we were watching this movie on the seventeenth anniversary of the … Continue reading Movie Review: Romeo Must Die

“I love my work. I love it, really. I don’t love anything in my life but my work.”- Tahia Carioca, 1994 Sometimes in between the mundane and insignificant things in this life, such as musings over how Rachel Brice manages to move her body as though she were an actual snake, or how much of … Continue reading Taheyya Kariokka
“Can’t Hold Us Down”
The Christina Aguilera video below is the stuff I grew up on. Of course, I never had a mother or mother-figure to tell me what exactly was wrong with this video and that those "double standards" actually served a purpose. I remember me and my husband talking once and we were talking about how neither … Continue reading “Can’t Hold Us Down”
Oh Yeah, You’re Bad
I've seen often of men in MRA circles thinking themselves so high and mighty and going to extraordinary lengths to find any area where they can put down women or claim themselves to be superior in some way. There seems to be this innate jealousy among them that women have the upper hand in sexual … Continue reading Oh Yeah, You’re Bad

The other day me and my husband were looking for something to watch and while he was pointing out one movie I saw down below a movie I haven't seen for a very long time, Swiss Family Robinson.

A Personal Thought on Mayberry and Patriarchy
Mayberry. A nice little American town in the 1960s from the Andy Griffith Show. Little boys can play cowboys on the sidewalk in the middle of town with fake guns and pretend shoot each other and nobody even pays any mind. Prisoners just grab the keys and let themselves out when their 24-hour sentence is … Continue reading A Personal Thought on Mayberry and Patriarchy
A Personal Reflection on “I Love Lucy”
Practically everyone's heard of I Love Lucy, a 1950s TV show about a crazy red-headed housewife (played by Lucille Ball) who is married to a Cuban band leader (played by Desi Arnaz). I personally never watched the TV show until here recently when, disgusted by even the family TV shows of today's era and exhausting … Continue reading A Personal Reflection on “I Love Lucy”
The Wicked Loving Lies of Feminism
Feminist heroines. They irritate me very badly. They are all so stuck on "independence," disguising themselves as boys, chopping off their hair, not bathing and constantly complaining that "marriage is slavery." You've read about one of them then you've pretty much read about them all. However, every once in a while comes a heroine that … Continue reading The Wicked Loving Lies of Feminism
