About Twisty

Twisty Faster, a spinster aunt whose obstreperal lobe is about to blow, has been bloviating about feminist issues since the last century. She became an Internet Feminist in 2004. The offices and laboratories of Spinster Aunt HQ are located at El Rancho Deluxe, a small wildlife preserve in picturesque Cottonmouth County, Texas.

Twisty looks after two dogs, four horses, and one mother. Her interests include melancholy photography, looking at wild animals through binoculars or magnifying glasses, Number 1 Science Information, and crispy foods.

Twisty was overeducated in the dudeliocentric humanities in Dallas and St. Louis. She has worked as an office temp, a clean-up woman in a mobile home factory, a bartender, a scenester, a restaurant critic, a rock star, and a breast cancer patient. She has a sibling named Tidy, two nieces named Rotel and Finn, a sidekick named Stingray, a secretary named Phil, and a ranch hand named Chuck. The chef position is still open.

Twisty is roughly half a century old.

What is this thing?

You are reading I Blame The Patriarchy, the patriarchy-blaming blog that has been advancing the radical feminist views of Twisty Faster since 2004.

I Blame The Patriarchy is intended for advanced patriarchy-blamers. It is not a feminist primer. See Patriarchy-Blaming the Twisty Way for details.

This is what the blamer should know before commenting.

"I couldn't get Twisty's point. It was so longwinded." -- The Blogosphere

Hall of Blame

NOTICE OF BLOGULAR SPORADICISM

The crushing demands of patriarchy blaming have necessitated that the blog be updated less frequently than in days of yore. Posts may or may not appear, sporadically. Readers may experience crappier than usual customer service. Please don't send emails expressing dissatisfaction with the moderation process; I am already aware that it is imperfect. Meanwhile, hang tight. Regular blaming, conforming to your exacting standards, will probably resume sooner or later.
