Boner-killing, like other forms of patriarchy-smashing, can make a feminist feel weary. As a feminist, I get that, but the news of the discontinuation of I Blame the Patriarchy is still heartbreaking.
Twisty Faster aka. The Spinster Aunt aka. the woman whose blog changed my life, has decided to step away from I Blame the Patriarchy and move into a new place in cyberspace. The Dreadful Acres: Cottonmouth County Confidential is the name of the new digs. Here, Twisty writes about her experiences and encounters living in rural Texas.
IBTP will remain accessible indefinitely, which is a relief, as it is a truly valuable feminist resource. Nevertheless, this boner killer will miss the frequent trips to Savage Death Island. While my thirst for Twisty's words will still be quenched by The Dreadful Acres, I will always be hankering for her stink eye and heartwarming nature crap.
Everything written over at IBTP was incredibly candid and potent and told with such eloquence. Patriarchy was smashed, gender was challenged, sexploitation was critiqued and often, laughter was induced. And so, this phallic-flaccidity facilitator will be sad for a few days.
In the meantime, please keep on blamin' on.
I know, I'm really disappointed too, but at least the archive is still there to mine!

Absolutely. I'm so glad that IBTP is being left up because I still go back and read it all the time. Twisty is an amazing writer and I've been enjoying Dreadful Acres as well.
