About

Feminist Blogs is a community of weblogs by self-identified feminists, women’s liberationists, womanists, and pro-feminist men. We use free software to syndicate our weblogs, in order to raise awareness, bring together feminist voices, and promote cross-linking and discussion between feminist bloggers.

Why do you do it?

Because blogs aren’t just for boys. Blogs are independent, DIY media and that holds a lot of promise for the feminist voices that are marginalized, co-opted, or simply silenced in the traditional malestream media. We’re working together to make the promise a reality, and one of the ways we can do it is by creating a site where bloggers can keep up with each other and find new audiences, and where readers can discover new feminist blogs and follow discussions.

How do you do it?

Our site is powered by FeedWordPress, a plugin for WordPress, an open-source blogging platform. Contributors make an Atom or RSS feed of the posts on their blog available for FeedWordPress to process; the software aggregates the latest entries from all of our contributors’ blogs, enters them into the WordPress database, and publishes them as one group blog at our website.

FeedWordPress is free software written in the PHP scripting language. It processes Atom and RSS feeds using MagpieRSS by Kellan Elliott-McCrea.

What do you mean by feminist?

This is a non-sectarian community, conversing under a big tent. We have plenty of differences–differences on specific issues, differences on strategy, differences of analysis. But having those discussions is a vital part of the feminist community that we are building. And in those discussions we are united by our commitment to women, our struggle for equality, and our resistence to sexism.

We will not ask what is revolutionary or reformist, only what is good for women.

–Redstockings Manifesto, 1969

Do you have male contributors?

Yes. This is a big tent. Men are welcome to contribute, if they support feminism and write on feminism and gender issues on a fairly regular basis.
