Tonight, we have the curious case of Cathy Brennan (a.k.a. bugbrennan on Twitter), a so-called radical feminist whose cause du jour seems to be taking pot shots at the trans community. It turns out that her domain, bugbrennan.com is registered through Domains By Proxy. I’m all for whois privacy, and anonymity in general, so don’t mistake that for my point. The thing that’s interesting about this bit of information is that DBP is a division of none other than….GoDaddy. You remember GoDaddy? Backer of SOPA and hunter of elephants? Or, perhaps most notably, maker of commercials such as this one, this one, or most notably this one. So, Cathy Brennan, you call yourself a feminist, but you freely give your money to a company that portrays women through the most patriarchal lens allowed under FCC regulations? I call bullshit and hypocrisy. There are other domain registrars out there, and some of them even offer WHOIS privacy for free. Way to make the personal political.
