yoga pants!

Posted by molly k (not verified) on November 18, 2011 - 1:31pm

yo! all wonderful things here - I read the mansplaining piece the other day immediately after I had a frustrating discussion w/ a male friend regarding sexual harassment. sigh. sometimes you don't need to play devil's advocate, male friend.

anyway, my quaint college newspaper published this yesterday: "When you wear yoga pants, I can see your vagina," [http://www.hawksherald.com/news/when-you-wear-yoga-pants-i-can-see-your-vagina-1.2704026#.TsbAE3F_Zss] Of course, everyone's frustrated and pissed off, and some lovely women are organizing a YogaPantsWalk (see what we did there? eh? eh?).

I wrote a response to his piece: http://youcanseemyladyparts.tumblr.com/

anyway, just yer average entitled-college-male-editor stuff.

Speaking of Samhita of Feministing ...

Posted by anonymous (not verified) on November 19, 2011 - 5:30pm

... her, along with Pandagon http://pandagon.net Blogger and RH Reality Check http://www.rhrealitycheck.org contributor Amanda Marcotte, have started a podcast show called "Opinionated" where many matters of feminism are sure to be in regular discussions. Check out the premiere show at
http://opinionated.wearecitizenradio.com/

... and speaking of RH Reality Check, if you believe in their mission of debunking right-wing lies about reproductive health and antichoice mythology, you should really consider supporting their outstanding efforts in doing so as they are becoming a fully independent 501 c3 organization (Just like Bitchmedia!) on January 1, 2012 For details, visit http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2011/11/14/exciting-news-and-askin...

Seems Sarah Vowell has joined "The Daily Show" as their "Senior Historical Context" correspondent. Check out her first feature here http://www.hulu.com/watch/302110/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-happy-e...

Does this mean that the annoying Olivia Munn is finally off the show? One can only hope.
