Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Feminism But Were Afraid to Ask

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Feminism But Were Afraid to Ask
Article by Rachel Fudge, appeared in issue Anniversary; filed under: Social commentary; tagged: anti-porn, ERA, feminazi, NOW, pro-sex, radical feminism, riot grrrl, second wave, third wave, womanism.

It’s a natural, normal part of life. But people hesitate to talk openly about their needs, their desires, and their concerns because they are so fearful of what others might think. But we all have urges, and we all have questions, and the more we can talk about them, the happier and more fulfilled we all will be. It should be a joyful, tender, and esteem-building part of life, not a source of confusion or shame. Yet it’s hard to get a handle on it, because although there’s a lot of information out there, much of it is judgmental, misinformed, or quite simply false.

HUES: Hear Us Emerging Sisters

Title of work:

HUES Magazine

This is the magazine I’ve yearned for ever since I realized how shitty Mademoiselle and Seventeen made me feel.

Two of the editors are former Sassy interns, and it shows in the little things like the record review rating system and more broadly in the ironic co-optation of old-school girl-mag themes.
