In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set || First feminist blog on the internet

Selfless Signal-Boosting Wednesday

tigtog

A complement to our long-standing Shameless Self-Promotion Sundays, this thread is for recommending someone else‘s writings/events.

Especially welcome are links to those who are blogging on issues Feministe has not recently addressed (the links can be to older posts, just something you’ve found recently relevant).  Please save the self-promotion links for this Sunday – use this thread to let Feministe readers know about the other blogs you love to read, especially those on the margins of the mainstream social justice communities, who tend to not get as much exposure as they should.

Guidelines:

  1. Signal-boosting only here please (seconding/thirding etc is fine, but keep it short and sweet) ~ analytical discussions about various links belong on the Open Thread or Spillover.
  2. Include content notes/trigger warnings/NSFW alerts where needed as a courtesy to other readers.
  3. Keep this thread focussed on the linking – the idea is to make your comments on the other blogs being linked!  (adding relevant links for further related reading is always welcome)

    1. Is this website’s definition of “politically black” as including all WOC (and all others who self-identify, originate, or have ancestry from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands, as well as indigenous peoples) an accepted concept? I haven’t seen the term “politically black” used much in the USA, let alone with such an all-encompassing definition (which would seem to include white people) — not that I’m claiming to be particularly knowledgeable — and was curious as to whether its use is perhaps more common elsewhere?

      1. Hi Donna,

        To answer your question, yes, it does seem to be in common usage in the UK among certain feminist groups of colour who identify as politically black, e.g Southall Black Sisters and the Black Feminists group mentioned by ARIADNE.

        I am not a PoC, so I will swerve giving any opinions as to the wrongs and rights of this.

    1. Thank you Blair for mentioning our website. It’s our desire to let all survivors of CSA know they are not alone. We, and many others, are here for them. Peace be with you always!

  6. Sexed-up music videos are everyone’s problem
    This isn’t just about girls thinking they have to be ‘hot and sexy’. It’s about the pernicious effects on people of all ages, genders and ethnicities     [link]
