  1. .Blame It On The Dirty Prostitutes is about a community attempting to slut shame sex trade workers out of their neighborhood.

    Anti-Rape Condom your Vagina and you: A condom that is supposed to prevent rape but is extremely problematic in design.

    PETA Pimps Pussy: Jenna Jameson

    A Hospital Decides that Maternity Wards aren’t needed and closes it down. Stop by and sign the petition to keep the maternity ward open

    Finally Angelina Jolie and the Perfect Family: Where are children of color in her people magazine thread?

  4. I used McCain’s appearance at the Sturgis Motocycle Rally to point out the GOP’s and the United States’ increasing fetishization of ignorance. (And as an excuse to post a picture of Snake Plissken)

    Here it is.

  7. I helped my daughter write an updated resume, hoping for a new, better paying job where her talents are recognized.

    I think that is important.

  13. I am confused about how you link up your posts in this regular comment section as I would like to leave some links and not just a brief description. Please let me know folks, thank you!

  14. This week at Evil Slutopia:

    ~We took a look at so called “pro-life” bands from the on the American Life League’s Rock for Life site, which was mentioned last week on Feministe

    ~We did a little mini-series on the whole Viagra/birth control/insurance issue. First, my thoughts on Bill O’Reilly’s anti-birth control rant. Then, one of our guest bloggers did an opposing view, looking at things more from the perspective of the insurance companies to examine why they might choose not to cover BC. Then we had a big old debate on the issue, which we tried to break down into some key points.

    After that, there were a couple of questions. Can you really buy someone’s life story? And, what the hell is up with men’s and women’s beach volleyball uniforms?

  18. Thank you Renee for the links and info!

    I posted a poem I wrote about annihilation, genocide, business, industry, capitalism, the land, enlightenment, healing and the soul called Indignation.

    I also wrote about the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People.

  21. I picked up on Octo’s post about “sparkle” (and one comment in particular), and a post by Amber Rhea, to come up with “But what must they think of you?”

    On the same theme, I picked out a couple of songs by My Life Story that seem to be about sparkle (one of them is even called “Sparkle”!)

    I also posted pictures of my arsenal of deadly and not-so-deadly weaponry, in a post that possibly makes me a terrorist under UK law, and also talks about why I carry a knife with me (even though it’s against the law).

    Finally, I wrote about a couple of old stories that only just crossed my blogging radar today, and how people we perceive as allies shouldn’t get free passes for bad behaviour: “Sexual Assault Stories” (The stories are only linked-to, they aren’t repeated in my post, so it should be relatively safe)

  23. Oh! I also joined the team over at The Feminist Underground this week, so let me share our happenings too:

    Habladora asked for submissions on feminist parenting and we’ve got a few things up already including the price of pregnancy, and homeschooling. These posts are starting some great discussion, so you should check them out.

    While you’re there, also find out who Gwen Ifill is and the role she’s playing in the presidential race and consider our global responsibility as feminists & activists.

  32. I wrote a five-part 9000-word essay reacting to Orson Scott Card’s latest objections to same-sex marriage (this time, he’s brought out the pseudo-science) and relating this to the conveniently-timed revelation received by President Kimball of the Latter Day Saints that “Negroes” were now able to receive the priesthood (well, the men were) just as the LDS Church was threatened with losing its tax-exempt status for racial discrimination in 1978.

    Orson Scott Card: homophobic Humpty Dumpty
