AskMen.com is over women being easy!

Love / Shove post by Kjerstin Johnson on April 30, 2009 - 12:51pm; tagged abstinence, askmen.com, double standards, promiscuity, sex, sexuality.
Oh AskMen.com, you harbinger of antiquated sex values, you never disappoint in your oblivious celebration of the most backwards of relationship advice and unadulterated ignorance. "Stacy Jones" wrote to AskMen.com’s relationship misogynist columnist Curt Smith wondering why handsome Daniel never called her back after she 'fessed up to having slept with 43 men. Shockingly, Curt's advice wasn’t "Stacy, you’re better off without some douchebag who responds by saying 'Hmm, one for each of my birthdays,' and then turns over to pretend to read the Money section of USA Today."

Instead, Curt gave Stacy the low-down on something she should have realized a long time ago: Women who have lots of sex have a Problem with a capital P that will forever keep them from true love, and it's called PROMISCUITY.

Introducing... 'On the Map'

Social Commentary post by Mandy Van Deven on April 30, 2009 - 2:02am; tagged global feminism.

Last month I watched German electronic band Mouse on Mars light the crowd on fire at Soho, a posh nightclub in Kolkata, India. A hundred desi girls and boys bounced awkwardly around the tiny dance floor—beer in one hand, cigarette in the other—as the experimental techno screaming from the speakers deafened everyone temporarily. This is not the India you see in Bollywood movies.

Deal with it! The Breeders have a new EP!

Music post by Kjerstin Johnson on April 29, 2009 - 3:46pm; tagged Arch Rival Rollergirls, independent music, Kelley Deal, Kim Deal, music, reviews, roller derby, screenpringting, the Breeders.
Seeing as their last full-length Mountain Battles took six years to come out (when you gotta tour with the Pixies, you gotta tour with the Pixies), it's nice to see the Breeders aren't slowing down any time soon! Fate to Fatal, the four track vinyl, is limited edition, so get your listening on in while the listening's good! Read on for a mini review, the title-track's video, and Kim and Kelley Deal in the (non-recording) studio!

Euro-time is Gonna Come

Sports post by Jonanna Widner on April 29, 2009 - 3:08pm; tagged Dirk Nowitzki, NBA Basketball, NBA Playoffs, women's basketball.
d_nowitzki_300_080212 Last night I had the distinct pleasure of watching my Dallas Mavericks polish off the San Antonio Spurs in Round One of the Western Conference playoffs. The Mavs won the best-of-seven series pretty decisively, this last game on the strength of the performance of their star player, Dirk Nowitzki.

Sojourner Truth, Unveiled

History post by Deesha Philyaw on April 29, 2009 - 2:58pm; tagged abolition, Frances Gage, Hillary Clinton, intersectionality, Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, race, racism within feminism, Sojourner Truth, women's rights.

sojourner.jpg

The leaders of the [women's suffrage] movement trembled on seeing a tall, gaunt black woman in a gray dress and white turban, surmounted with an uncouth sunbonnet, march deliberately into the church, walk with the air of a queen up the aisle, and take her seat upon the pulpit steps. A buzz of disapprobation was heard all over the house, and there fell on the listening ear, 'An abolition affair!" "Woman's rights and niggers!""I told you so!" "Go it, darkey!" . . Again and again, timorous and trembling ones came to me and said, with earnestness, "Don't let her speak, Mrs. Gage, it will ruin us. Every newspaper in the land will have our cause mixed up with abolition and niggers, and we shall be utterly denounced." My only answer was, "We shall see when the time comes."
--
First-wave feminist Frances Gage, reflecting on the occasion of Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman?" speech

sm[art] // Maya Deren: Pioneer and Experimental Filmmaker

Art and Design post by Annalee Schafranek on April 29, 2009 - 2:42pm; tagged art, experimental film, female artists, female filmmakers, maya deren, women in film.

My introduction to this week's sm[art]ist came from an exercise in a film class I had taken. The professor was having us list off as many female directors as we could think of and, as you could imagine, the list ended up being fairly short. In addition to Jane Campion, Amy Heckerling, and Julie Taymor, Maya Deren's name came up.

The Feminist Stays In The Picture

DigiBitch post by Kelsey Wallace on April 29, 2009 - 1:39pm; tagged Ali G, Feminism, I Was A Teenage Feminist, internet videos, Ms. Pacman, Naomi Wolf, Smart Girls at the Party, Therese Schechter, Whirlpool.
Although, like always, there is a lot of hard-hitting feminist news coming down the wire today (this New York Times article on women's studies programs comes to mind), sometimes it's nice to just kick back and watch some video clips. After all, it's Wednesday, and we could all use a media-fueled brain break every once in awhile.

In the interest of said brain break, here is a collection of feminist-themed internet videos. So put on your headphones, tilt your computer monitor away from your boss's line of vision, and prepare to be enlightened, entertained, enthralled, and maybe even enraged. (And if you can think of another adjective that begins with "en" you might be that as well.)

Court confirms that feminism is not a religion and that Roy Den Hollander is a waste of its time

Love / Shove post by Andi Zeisler on April 29, 2009 - 9:38am; tagged Columbia University, douchebags, frivolous lawsuits, new york times, Roy Den Hollander, zero-sum shenanigans.

 

Remember Roy Den Hollander, the righteously antifeminst New York lawyer whose greatest hits of frivolous litigation include, "Ladies’ Nights Are Unfair to Men," "The Violence Against Women Act is Unconstitutional to ME!," and "My Mail-Order Bride Left Me to Become a Stripper, I’m Gonna Sue the Club Where She Works"? Well, you’ll be relieved to know that his most recent waste of a court's time and money — a lawsuit against Columbia University contending that their Women’s Studies curriculum violated Title IX and was unconstituional — was given a big thumbs-down last week.

Performing Inspiration in a Tough Economy

DigiBitch post by Mandy Van Deven on April 28, 2009 - 9:48pm; tagged Ani DiFranco, career, Economy, live show, motherhood, parenting.

While being a musical vagabond is in Ani DiFranco’s blood, the changing face of the music industry in a sinking economy has made touring for this feminist icon a financial necessity.
