The brilliant haranguer and occasional guest poster here Queen of Thorns and a few of her mates have launched a new blog, The Stroppery.

As they say in their opening post:

There’ll probably be some swear words thrown around. Actually, make that there will definitely be some swear words thrown around. Even us talking about who we are, and what we think might be challenging to you. Not because we are especially radical, but the simple notion that a woman can think for herself seems to be problematic to some people.

Bloody good stuff.

    By the way QoT, I’m still keen on that privilege for dummies guest post if you’ve got time.

      Thanks for the plug, IB! This weekend got eaten by Wellington Young Feminists’ Collection shenanigans but I will try to find some time to give you another patented rant. 😛

    Excellent. I love a good challenge to mine brainwaves. Expect some swear words in support and opposition next time I out of la bush. Meantime late salmon and the roar are far more exciting..

    Always a bit tedious when people advertise “watch out, we are going to have really radical ideas and lots of swear words.”  Reminds me of the Young Ones, although it is a comedy idea that has been done to death.
    I love a good swear as much as anyone but I’d focus on the clarity of the ideas more.
    As my gran said, if you need to swear to get people to notice you, maybe you’re just not saying something interesting.

      In my humble experience when women try to explain the patriarchy to men in polite terms, they get ignored, de-railed and/or laughed at. If it takes a bit of ‘in yer face’ to get your attention, then you probably haven’t been listening.

      It’s their site, they can run it as they see fit.

      My gran reckons your gran needs to change the fucking record.

       She also reckons people cry about the bad language when they can’t dispute the argument.

      She also has one of them cross stiched little picture thingies on the wall, and it reads; “When light cavalry charge emplaced cannon, they get what they fucking deserve.”

The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
