UPDATE: Seems YouTube sexists don't like my video much. I've banned/erased over 50 "show me your tits" and "i'm going to rape you" comments. Fun!

...for pushing superficial bullshit onto their players.

...for awarding a female soldier a Silver Star for heroic acts, and then removing her from combat because she's a woman.

And just a note, something I didn't mention in the video, I think it's possible to oppose both the Iraq war and the Army's ban on women in combat. Yes, I believe women like Pfc. Monica Brown should be allowed to serve alongside men in combat situations. No, I don't support the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Samhita said it really well two years ago:

I don't know how to write about this issue without first saying that I hate the military, I don't support the war in Iraq at all, and the US government allowing women and people of color to advance in the military is strategic(ally fucked) and not in *any* way indicative of an actual commitment on behalf of our leading patriarchs to advance the peoples. But these women claim to still be facing obstacles as they are clearly performing well (in gunning down Iraqis) but still not advancing in their positions.

See the military isn't any good for anything.

Along those lines, when we talk about issues of women in the U.S. military, it's important to keep in mind that they aren't the only women in combat zones --and to talk about the effects of war on female civilians.

Thanks to reader Elizabeth C. for the tip.

This one was fun. (All the stories I mention are linked to on our YouTube page.)

So sick of pop culture reducing girls to mindless boy-crazy Barbie wannabees. Check out the two posts that inspired this video.

I'm thrilled that Obama's recent speech created a more complex framing for all of this, so I guess I can fuck you/thank stupid media for prompting that reaction.

I know you all just can't get enough of my vlogging, so I went ahead and took a stab at the Friday Feministing Fuck You. I apologize, I am a little sick and stuffy, but you get the point. To get some background check out Jess's post on Dr. Laura's appearance on the Today show.

God, will I just shut up already. . .

Props to Vanessa for this week's "fuck you."

Hey there, we're back with our potty-mouthed vlogging for another installment of the Friday Feminist Fuck You. I recorded this week's edition, and since I lack video editing software, it's grainy and missing the fancy titles and logos that Jessica's version was sporting last week. But anyway, check it out:
