...and they called me freak: What’s in a question? The myth of objective science

http://andtheycalledmefreak.blogspot.com/2012/09/whats-in-question-myth-of-objective.html

And they called me freak. Friday, September 28, 2012. What’s in a question? The myth of objective science. There is this misconception that empirical research is by definition objective. There are all these guidelines around sample selection and research design that are supposed to make the entire process purer than pure. In the face of criticism you can hear the cries of “but I used a random sample, it CAN’T be biased” from miles away. Did you hear that? That was the sound of me rolling my eyes. The his...

...and they called me freak: Staking claims in all the corners

http://andtheycalledmefreak.blogspot.com/2012/09/staking-claims-in-all-corners.html

And they called me freak. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Staking claims in all the corners. I love punk music. But the problem is that punk music doesn’t love me. When I was fourteen I remember watching a video of some live punk show in which the male lead singer pulled a woman onto the stage and punched her. That was when I learned that my beloved punk scene was no safer for me as a woman than anywhere else. But every once in a while there’s some ray of light like Liza and Louise by NOFX. When I...Without...

...and they called me freak: The Room

http://andtheycalledmefreak.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-room.html

And they called me freak. Monday, September 10, 2012. There is a part of my mind that is still in that room. I can see it so clearly, two single beds, one by the window, one with its head against the wall. Black out curtains on the window so no sunlight could sneak in. As I remember it there wasn’t much else in there, no posters on the wall, maybe a dresser? I’m not sure. But it's not just the room. But that room, that room has moved. That room has found a new home in my head. Check out my other blogs.

...and they called me freak: I never called it rape...

http://andtheycalledmefreak.blogspot.com/2012/09/i-never-called-it-rape.html

And they called me freak. Wednesday, September 5, 2012. I never called it rape. I’ve been thinking a lot about rape lately. It seems like I can’t go online without someone somewhere talking about rape. Even though I know it puts me at risk of being triggered I can’t seem to stop myself from looking. It shouldn’t surprise me really. When I was a teen trying to come to terms with my own assault. And then I was reading the comments on this post. And I felt like I’d been punched in the gut. But in reality he...

And they called me freak. Monday, July 23, 2012. Another day outside of the box marked pretty. But my internal monologue was more like “What the fuck? That is so inappropriate! And who does he think he’s kidding, obviously he wouldn’t want my fat self to rub anything on him. Why the hell didn’t I even say anything? I’m not a teenager anymore I should have told him that his joke was uncool.”. You should feel lucky that I showed any interest at all! 8221; to which we all want to respond, “You should ...

...and they called me freak: Making the lazy choice: victim blaming in the movie "Bernie"

http://andtheycalledmefreak.blogspot.com/2012/09/making-lazy-choice-victim-blaming-in.html

And they called me freak. Saturday, September 29, 2012. Making the lazy choice: victim blaming in the movie "Bernie". Last night we watched the movie Bernie with Jack Black. Or to be honest I watched half of the movie before I fell asleep to the amusement of The Dude (seriously, if you knew him you’d know how funny it is to call him that). The movie is based on real events. And is about a small time funeral director who befriends and eventually kills an eighty-one year old wealthy widow (Margery Nugent).
