A new link, The Dane’s friend The Olive has a new blog, and I’ve enjoyed reading it. I’ve also noticed The Dane’s penchant for the word “The.” I’m also adding Kris10k, if for no other reason than her UNC Tarheels beat the dreaded FSU Seminoles on Saturday. Actually, it is because she has interesting “Musings,…

Woo-hoo! I’m Antifeminism – actively opposing feminism; views male supremacy as natural and/or necessary.
