To my progressives, liberals, radicals, and people seeking change, a love note: Why must we continue to look to other people/groups to make the changes we want to see happen? We look to our political party, or campaigns with people to “champion” issues we find important, or Nonprofits dedicated to social justice. All of these […]

What, if anything, would change by people being able to see the billions of stars above our heads each night? What, if anything, would change if people got out in nature more? How am I going to critique the suffragist movement, while still giving credit where credit is due, without sounding like a total ass? […]

I really appreciated this article. Who knew traditional media could cover something this grassroots and progressive in an appropriate way? I certainly didn’t! Soraya Chemaly: Why You Should Take Your Teenager on a SlutWalk.

Anti-feminist market theories of sexuality fail to explain the data.. The common theme of anti-feminism of the ’60s through roughly the ’90s was basically, “Feminism is emasculating. Now go make me a sandwich.” Alas, anti-feminists are beginning to realize that overt misogyny isn’t really the selling point it used to be, and so now anti-feminism […]

A Teen Feminist Calls the Westboro Baptist Church | fbomb. i love everything about this… especially the fact that a young woman took the initiative to call people up and ask them point blank what they thought of feminism. More of us should be doing stuff like this. Alright, cool. So anybody who defines themself […]

from jezebel, a rant on the lack of hollywood nerd-love and nerdy girls in general: I’ve known a fair number of offbeat women and if you ask, they’ll tell you their one or more stories where guys were initially smitten with their endless knowledge of MST3K episodes, but left shortly after in search of someone […]

More garbage from the GOP: Peck’s response to media coverage of this? He was only joking, apparently. As if even a joke like that would be in any way fitting for a public representative. Oh and, it’s not his fault either, apparently everyone else from where he is from is also a racist.. a GREAT […]
