How to make Amanda Marcotte forget all about the Patriarchy's hegemonical control

The answer is somewhere in this picture:

Unfortunately, it looks like a mole or other cylindrical beast from The Vast Patriarchical Conspiracy snuck into Amanda Marcotte's publishing house and caused them to insert (as into a book) highly questionable images: link. This has caused her to issue a completely voluntary apology: pandagon.blogsome.com/2008/04/25/im-sorry

For an unknown reason I don't want to know about, there are other Amanda Marcotte pictures at these links from her book readings, ordered by how hard I laughed:

UPDATE: Fellow former John Edwards intern/blogger Melissa McEwan responds to the Seal Press Scandal as follows, referring to their press release about the questionable images in the book:

Part of their apology is a promise to participate in some diversity training. It might be beneficial for them to go back and take a Feminism 101 course, too, since they've evidently not learned that dismissing concerns on the basis of humorlessness is about the oldest silencing trope in the patriarchy's book, so ubiquitous as to be positively quaint (in that Alberto Gonzales kinda way).

Another round, anyone?

Actually I think you meant to say "caused her to issue a completely involuntary apology."

Lonewacko, What is wrong with you. Its Amanda's world and we should all just be happy to be sharing it. Nothing is more embarrassing when a blogger regardless of orientation needlessly fuses the personal with the political. It is really creepy to hear some Obamabots express how much they need, long for, ache for his presidency on a purely personal, narcissistic level. Dam if you are that hard up go out and buy a sex toy.
