Why “gender” must go

4 days ago by femspotter

As language evolved, as it continues to do, the concepts of male/female gender said to be "masculine"/"feminine" arose as adjectives inclusive of traits traditionally exhibited by either sex. But as the eras morphed and gave way to one another - and with women's liberation advancing women's choices ...

Oh yeah you’re a feminist!

4 days ago by tanglad

Last week, three young women from the Feminist Majority Foundation visited the large Intro to Women’s Studies class that I work as a TA. They did what I take to be a standard invitation: FMF member: Okay! So who here is a feminist? Raise your hand! (a smattering of hands go up) FMF rep: Okay! So who ...

topics for after finals are done consuming my soul and thoughts about writing

12 days ago by olga

Predictably, whenever there are a billion other things I should be doing, I have tons of things I want to write about. I will make a list here so I can come back to it when I am overcome by post-finals turkey-induced ennui. - women/women of color/poc in sci-fi (I know Joy wants to read this!) - (un) ...

tonight’s class, unrelated things

13 days ago by olga

I was really tired tonight and bleaaaaaaaah because of my cold, and I don’t think I had any coherent comments I could have made that I didn’t. I was also quiet tonight because, frankly, the topics we touched on are very triggering for me. Cyborgs: still a BAD METAPHOR. Moving on now… Lastly – I do i ...

of colds, romantic aspirations, sci-fi heroines, and DARK WILLOW

14 days ago by olga

(Remember how I was like, I’m totally not going to talk about Buffy in this blog? That was a lie. But there is way less Buffy here than in my other blog, so there!) My brain was totally on vacation last night, so I’m going to try to read the articles for today again before class. Colds are so annoyi ...

About that non-vacuum in which Stupak happened…

14 days ago by Violet

Kate Harding has a good piece in Salon that captures the PUMA-a-year-later zeitgeist we’ve been talking about here (to recap: A year later, world suddenly gets what PUMAs were talking about, House Democrats pass healthcare reform for men, and Rachel Maddow is becoming post-rational). Harding’s piece ...

Beauty and me

18 days ago by femspotter

But when I started to think about some of the other things I do – like shaving my legs, plucking my eyebrows, squeezing into control top pantyhose and wearing breast minimizers, I realized that I don’t do these things because I worry about men finding me beautiful. Ironically, I do the most painful ...

stop dividing that house against itself!

20 days ago by olga

Retroactive jerkiness note the second: in retrospect, I think that comparing disability studies and trans studies was not ok of me at all, and didn’t clarify the point I was trying to in any way. Which is namely we often recognize these things as separate, even though there is a big umbrella there. ...
