Up Front: Say When, in reply to giovanni tiso,
We never use “slut” to describe a man or even have an equivalent.
Oh, fucking hell Tracy – does the New Zealand Herald employ any gay men who’ll take you on a field trip to K Road tonight? “Man-ho” is neither a fox hunting rally or one of the jewels of Flying Nun's discography.

Either let my head explode or leave me much abused melon alone. You fuckers are cruel.

Thou shalt not invoke the He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named of Public Address System threads. Ever. No no no.

Just gone live: audio of useful discussion on Nine to Noon with Noel Waite, author of Books for a Nation: The Whitcoulls Story and senior lecturer in print and design culture at Otago University; and Graham Beattie, former publisher and bookseller, who writes Beatties Book Blog.

And you know what, I don't call myself a feminist - partly because the endless definitional stoushes a waste of time and energy.
Not treating women like shit - and being mindful of how I perpetuate and exploit my own privilege, and not just that which comes from my penis - is how I do my non-doucheist humanism. OK?

Marginalising Minorities 101, delivered by a man who had flown in from overseas in a jet plane.
It’s also Derailing for Dummies 101: Why aren’t you talking about real issues? (Also, Chris Trotter is rather of dealing these related cards out to uppity bourgeois “identity politics” obsessed feminists: your false consciousness is showing and stop bitching, you’re not really marginalised at all.)

Muse: Shelf Life: The Dying Elephant in…, in reply to Tui Head,
I’d love to hear from publishers how they feel about it but I doubt anyone wants to tell us!
So would I, and the floor is open. But to be fair, from what I've picked up nobody is that sure how to react. It wasn't a surprise but most definitely a shock, if that makes any sense at all.

I suspect it’s both the Web and Darwinism. I’m not a bookworm, but I’ve developed a sense of literacy all the same, thanks to the Internet.
A little from column A, a pinch from column B and add randomness to taste? Funny how much of life works out like that. :)

Ha, not while Aidan Turner’s here filming The Hobbit
Mitchell is in New Zealand? Time to put on the stalking shoes, and show those tweenie Twi-twits how horny psychotic fandom is done… He's no Russell Tovey (ears too small, for a start) but he'll do in a pinch.
