G'day, Bingo Viewers!

G’day, Bingo Viewers!

By tigtog on November 28, 2011

There’s been an uptick over the last few weeks in site visitors clicking on links to Anti-Feminist Bingo and Anti-Feminist Bingo #2 – since comments on those posts have been long closed, I invite you to comment here instead, should you feel so inclined.

Of Course You Couldn’t Really  Truly Rather Not Talk To Me BINGO CARD

Bingo Card: My Need For Female Attention Outweighs Your Lack of Interest or Sense of Safety

By tigtog on June 1, 2011

Reading an old thread about self-proclaimed “nice guys” who refuse to take no for an answer, I realised that we had thrown around the idea of a bingo card in comments.

5x5 sexist joke bingo card

Sexist joke bingo

By Mary on February 18, 2011

In collaboration with Hoydenizens and others, a bingo card for arguments in defence of sexist jokes, specifically, the variants on “but it was FUNNY”.

On the not Grokking of Internet Bingo Cards

On the not Grokking of Internet Bingo Cards

By tigtog on February 16, 2011

Let me hand a depressingly large number of people an embarrassingly obvious cluestick: nobody gets to yell BINGO! on marking just one square.

Antibreastfeeding Bingo

By Lauredhel on February 20, 2009

We’ve done the other Bingos, and this one’s long overdue. With a nod to all the misogynist trolls out there who’ve provided the material for this card, I present: Antibreastfeeding Bingo! It’s focussed on public breastfeeding conversations, not “mommy wars” type conversations, which are well covered by the Bingo at Mom’s Tinfoil Hat, and by [...]

Faves: Feminism

By Lauredhel on January 1, 2009

Hoyden About Town is looking forward to the finalist voting in the 2008 Weblog Awards. Because it’s school holidays and tigtog and I are family-focussed right now, I’ve put together a few of my posts from the past, in the categories Feminism, Breasts, bodies and birth, Bad science, Big pharma, and Disability. They’re not chosen for any strict criteria – just the posts I found memorable, the ones

Evolutionary Psychology Bingo!

By Lauredhel on October 28, 2007

PunkAssBlog has seen a Great Need, and filled it. Evolutionary Psychology Bingo! This particular bingo card specifically addresses the antifeminist/sex-essentialist uses of evpsych. My splorf favourite? “Confusion over whether they’re rationalising polyamory or nuclear-family patriarchy, but whatever they’re rationalising, only men evolved to enjoy it.” Dark favourite? “Rape is an adaptation.” Stuff I’d most like [...]

Invisible Illness Bingo.

By Lauredhel on August 7, 2007

I’ve posted before on my experience with invisible disability, and linked to amandaw on the “But you don’t look sick!” phenomenon. And for further background, everyone should read the “Open Letter to Those Without CFS/Fibro” at Not Done Living. Now Annaham at Hamblog has come out with the Invisible Illness Bingo card, v. 1.0. “But [...]

Karen PWN!S! TEH n00bs

By tigtog on May 19, 2007

Karen Healey of Girls Read Comics and They’re Pissed riffed off Lauredhel’s Anti-Feminist Bingo Card and created an Anti-Comics-Feminist Bingo Card. Apparently some fanboyz have been having a whinge at her about it, so she has called forth the mighty power of Clue. I assume that since you have an internet connection, you’re not sitting [...]

Anti-feminist-Bingo! A master-class in sexual entitlement.

By Lauredhel on April 14, 2007

Edit 18 Dec 2009: I’ve seen this referred to in quite a few places round the ‘sphere as “Antifeminist Troll Bingo”. It’s not called that here, and was never called that here, because that isn’t my sole or primary intention. Many of these statements are made not by people just stirring crap in the hope [...]
