A collection of Valentine-themed posts:
- Uplift! Magazine reminds us it's actually vagina day, as well as Valentine's Day
- Twisty at I Blame the Patriarchy is back with a post that skewers Valentine's Day
- Shakesville on an ad which shows men using Valentine's Day themed jewels to hypnotise women
- Feministing on how much anti-feminists hate vaginas
- Valentine's day is based on ancient pagan ritual of priests whipping young girls to make them fertile and distributing them to local men in ancient version of a key party - Goddess Gift
- And Texas has struck down a ban on sex toys! Or, as Pandagon puts it "It’s finally legal to be a masturbating female in Texas. Praise the lord and pass the AA batteries."
