Melissa Harris Perry Camp

On Our Radar

Bitch HQ post by Morgan Hecht on February 17, 2012 - 3:16pm; tagged Athena Film Festival, Black Herstory, Chris Brown, Girl Talk, Melissa Harris Perry Camp, Queer Rock, Whitney Houston.
Here's what we've been reading this week: 
  • Feministing tackles the media's coverage of Whitney Houston's death which showed another successful female artist's death related to drugs and fame: the age-old "narrative that as a woman, you can’t have it all." 
  • The Athena Film Festival wrapped up this week: check out Huffington Post's take on the festival and the importance of women and filmmaking.  
  • Chris Brown performed at the Grammys on Sunday: what does it say that pop culture is so ready to forgive domestic violence?  
  • Are you/do you know any LGBTQQIA youth who love rock music? Check out the website, sign up for Queer Rock Camp, and read our previous Q&A with the camp's organizers. 
  • The Mamafesto responds to the ridiculous absence of women on the congressional panel on birth control. 
  • Don't forget that Black Herstory month is ongoing at the Ms. Blog.
  • At Global Comment, Bitch contributor Chally reflects on normative love for Valentine's Day.
  • This Bay Area event looks amazing! Tickets now available for Girl Talk: A Trans and Cis Woman dialogue curated by Gina de Vries, Elena Rose, and Julia Serano.
  • At the Feminist Wire, Aishah Shahidah Simmons, Darnell L. Moore, & Kenyon Farrow write about who isn't calling out Roland Martin for his homophobic tweets (and who is, but doing it wrong). 
  • Gawker calls Virginia's New Ultrasound Law "sexual assault" as it would force women to get "transvaginal ultrasounds" before abortions. 
  • Check out Melissa Harris Perry's new show which starts on Saturday on MSNBC. 
  • Slate covers one woman's experience of post-natal care in France. 
  • Know any female journalists? GOOD has suggested a campaign to fight the growing gender gap for women in media by asking people to promote women through networking. Check out the twitter response: #promotewomen
