become a feminist superhero

the Swedish feminst porn movie (12 shortfilms). I have seen two of the shortfilms yesterday and find them interesting, arty and liberating. The movies are able to capture so much more than mainstream porn.

Save Bitch Magazine Video

As a loyal subscriber and hugh fan of the feminist publication ‘Bitch Magazine’ is in need of financial funding’s.

Like most other print media outlets, Bitch magazine is facing some seriously discouraging financial times. Unlike larger mainstream publications, however, Bitch does not have the security of a large parent company to protect the magazine until the industry improves, leaving the independent magazine in danger of shutting down publication for good. Whether you’re a fan of the feminist magazine or just care about protecting alternative media sources, get the word out and help save Bitch Magazine

If you live in the Boston area, you more than welcome to attend a Massachusetts House Party to help support Bitch Magazine raise needed funds for it’s survival. Thank you.

I HATE them!!! I am so tired of seeing these stupid biki clad girls bouncing around my T.V. EVERY day. Then the even more stupid men watching them, slack jawed and drooling. Or maybe the girls are SKATING or MAKING OUT or, god forbid, licking sundae toppings off one another. I hate them, and anyway, it’s not just men that drink beer, everyone does, right? What amount of money can these women’s dignity’s be worth? I wonder. And all to sell beer…but saying all this, it’s no wonder people have to get hammered once in a while.

I am very dedicated to the cause (feminism) so this will be an continuing goal and I will come back to this but am marking this done.

I started taking my summer course from the Grad School program at Simmons College; Special Topics: Pop Culture. Loads of reading but I think I am going to love it!

We started off with a “word pool” (one of the techniques I use in “warming up” to write….and the writing that came from the hour was more real, more vulnerable, more piercing and strong than I have heard in a long time.

Kudos power women.

I am thinking I really am a feminist super hero already.

I am going to mark DONE and want to continue DOING!

Yay!

what it takes to become an official feminist super hero….

does that count?

^{I feel almost like I can mark this one “done”}

As a radical feminist my first steps in feminist superherodom are writing my feminist blog and helping to get my local feminist activist group off the ground. :D

I remember an old skit on the Carson show that featured Ed Ames, the actor who played Tonto, and how he demonstrated on national TV how he could throw a hachet across the room and hit a target. Ames threw the hachet at a cowboy target right in the middle of the crotch. As he went to retrieve the hachet, Carson stopped him and quickly said, “I didn’t even knew you were Jewish ^{which Ed Ames was} and Johnny closed with “welcome to Cowboy briss.” The skit and how the target was hit was an accident and generated many laughs and one of Carson’s greatest moments.

Now, we have another target against women, there’s an offensive ad that shows women in a bad light like this one shown, some might just say, “aww, you making too much of all of this, aren’t you?” However, if just one person finds it offensive doesn’t that defeat and purpose of the marketing campaign? Why did they have to shoot the camera angle so that the youing lady appears right in the center of the circle, legs wide open? Many feminists, like myself, are going to complain to Target, and ask for an apology why did they do this? It’s going to hurt their business and some may boycott shopping there.

I don’t think Target was trying to get laughs like the Carson axe throw skit was, and if they didn’t want to “target” women, why didn’t their ad execs screen the ad before they placed it on a Hugh billboard for everyone to see in NYC Times Square?
