A Few Feminist Reads

by Cara May 24, 2008

So I joined this meme thing called Weekly Geeks. Every week a different challenge/theme is chosen and participants go and do it on their own blog (if they wish). Dewey, who runs Weekly Geeks, is a good friend of mine, which is part of the reason I joined. The other reason is that I figured [...]

Even More Links

by Cara May 21, 2008

There have lately been more stories to write about than hours in the day to write about them. Another link roundup: As you may (should) know, female farmworkers are at a high risk of sexual assault, particularly when they’re immigrants, and even more so when undocumented. (But psst, LA Times: rape isn’t sexual harassment any [...]

Link Roundup

by Cara May 19, 2008

Things I read last week and didn’t get the time to write about. Enjoy: Exciting news: the California Assembly has become the first U.S. state legislative body to be led by a black woman. So disappointing that this had to happen as late as 2008, but good news nonetheless. (But WTF is up with that [...]

Need a laugh?

by Cara May 12, 2008

Writing this blog everyday, I sure as hell do! And this cracked me up. If like me, you’re fed up with stupid sexist commercials, check out a few getting some feminist skewering: I want to see more of Sarah Haskins. And I also might have to start watching InfoMania. It kind of looks like VH1′s [...]

Feminist News and Links

by Cara April 28, 2008

I’ve been pretty busy, lately. Here’s some stuff I won’t get the time to blog about in depth: With regards to the Seal Press boycott, many have asked “but what are feminist authors to do?” Prof Black Woman answers that question with a list of kick-ass feminist and multicultural printing presses. Lauredhel goes after one [...]

Oh No They Didn’t

by Cara April 27, 2008

You know that stupid Ben Stein movie Expelled, that argues in favor of “intelligent design” and chastises the sane for not allowing religious bullshit to be taught in science classes? Apparently, they used the John Lennon song Imagine in the film . . . without permission. Yoko Ono, one of my all-time favorite feminists, isn’t [...]

Parental Advisory: Explicit Content

by Cara April 21, 2008

This just made my day: Created by OnePlusYou HAHAHAHA. Stolen from Ren, who has a paltry 34.5% of her pages containing curse words. Better pick up the pace, Ren! By the way, the average is 9%. And my rate of swearing is apparently 988% more than other websites that took the test. I’m not sure [...]

Quick Survey

by Cara April 9, 2008

If you saw someone wearing any of these disgusting shirts, would you: Hit him where it hurts (your choice of body part) Go into an uncontrollable screaming rage Run in the other direction Burst into tears in mourning for your very last ounce of hope in humanity For me, it depends. I would always be [...]

Neil Aspinall Died

by Cara April 1, 2008

Now interrupting your regularly scheduled feminism . . . I don’t know how I missed it, but I did. It seemingly didn’t get a lot of press in the U.S. I just came across an obituary today, a week later. Neil Aspinall died of lung cancer. And it makes me very sad.
