feminist blogs

I thought this was so great and funny, because - I'm sure like a lot of other feminists out there - I've had dudes use their progressive beliefs and feminist cred to try pick me up. Samhita and I used to talk about this a lot in college, that sometimes the guys who turned out to be the biggest assholes were the ones who wooed you by quoting Judith Butler. Anyone have any fun pick up stories? Leave them in comments...

We're all about subversive reclaiming here at Feministing, hence our bird-flipping mudflap girl logo. So dear readers, what's your favorite reclaimed word (or image, etc)?

Happy hump day, folks.

So, dear readers, if it seems like you're seeing a bit less of me on the blog, it's because I'm hard at work on a new project - a book on the myth of sexual purity and how it harms young women. I'm stoked about it, but it's obviously taking up a lot of my time. So I'm asking your forgiveness in advance if you see a couple of less posts than usual or if my posts are on the short side for now. I'll be back in full force soon, promise. In the meantime, remember, the all-knowing abstinence eyes are watching you!

Perhaps I'm just old and don't know know what slang words kids are using these days, but I have no idea what "squats my heart" means. Though somehow, I like it.

Stolen shamelessly from my fave NYC-rockers, the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls. Find more weekend inspiration here, here and here.

If the bathroom wall says it, it must be true.

This picture made my morning in a big way, so I'm hoping it will do the same for you... So what did you do this weekend to /patriarchy?

A very cool banner from a feminist group in the UK who, incidentally, is one of the many great groups that are now part of the Feministing Alliance. (Just a reminder to get involved!)
