About Me: My name is not Rosie. It’s Emily. I’m a New Englander by birth, a Chicagoan by choice. I work at a tech start-up. I love to read and write and talk to strangers. I overshare like nobody’s business. I don’t mind getting lost. I fantasize about writing a cookbook someday. Libraries make me smile. I have been many places in the world and can think of nowhere I’d rather live then where I live right now.
My response to the Slut-o-Ween phenomenon
About Rosie Says: When choosing my nom du blog, I struggled to pick something that reflected the big buckets of things I like to think about: Gender, sex, politics, media, Hollywood, pornography, prostitution, books, television, celebrity, body image, beauty, feminism, food… it’s a long list. It can be roughly grouped into Media, Sex/Gender, and Politics. I was a history major in college, and the famous Rosie the Riveter image struck me as a perfect symbol for the intersection of these buckets. Check out the post about my banner. Nobody ever said propaganda couldn’t be inspiring!
Other Places You Can Find Me: I’m a weekly contributor at The Good Men Project, writing about penis size, online dating, pornography, and the difference between an asshole and a douchebag. Check out my author page for a full list of my GMP pieces.
A number of my essays, including a flow-chart for choosing whether to put out on the first date, have been published on The Frisky. See the author page for a full list.
