From A Womyn’s Ecdysis:
There is no current US Women’s Movement. There is no US Feminist Movement. What is it that we face? The face of the US movementS change with community and by geography. It changes with all the things that make up the intersection of intersectionality. It is no [...]
Classism: That Insidious Prejudice
Posted by: Ryan on: January 3, 2008
I have an acquaintance who’s attitude to people always bugs me. I haven’t been able to figure out exactly why he bugs me so; after all, he isn’t really sexist, or racist, or homophobic. Yet, he still bugs me.
I figured it out this morning on the bus to work.
He is hideously CLASSIST.
He’s a nice, straight, [...]
The Ten Steps to Sanity
Posted by: Ryan on: January 1, 2008
So I spent my New Years Eve reading Man Made Language, and Full Frontal Feminism. (I really must get around to reading some of the negative opinions of Full Frontal Feminism, cos I didn’t see much of a problem with it… but then, that is probably my white privilege showing)
This is the sort of dorky [...]

So I am reading “Man Made Language” by Dale Spender, because I really ought to return it to the person that loaned it to me.
Its quite fabulous, and I am enjoying the first chapter, but while I was reading, I was reminded of an oft-quoted trope.
Why is it if a woman is sexist, she is [...]
Lesbian Phone Sex

Hat tip to Samhita at Feministing for this one.
I laughed my arse off watching this. I think that I found it even more amusing, because it kinda reminded me a bit of my current relationship.
EDIT: I fail at posting Video’s… here’s a link to the original, if its not showing [...]

At the moment there is a massive amount of controversy in the feminist blogosphere surrounding a book by Robert Jensen, called “Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity”. I have not read the book yet, and so I cannot really pass judgment on it for itself. Much of the commentary surrounding it has been [...]

A friend commented to me that other day, that just like brands show the ownership of cattle, getting a tattoo can show that a person feels they own themselves. This idea made a lot of sense to me. It also made me realise that is probably why so many people have issues with women getting [...]
Reading list!
Posted by: Ryan on: November 10, 2007
There are a few things I have come across in the last few days that I don’t have time to comment on, but think are well worth looking at.
Just imagine me imparting some pearls of wisdom in regards to the following:
Finally, a scientific study that shows why feminists are ‘humourless’. We have right to be, [...]
Disjointed Feminism
Posted by: Ryan on: October 27, 2007
There is a fabulous post about Feminist Identification over at Feministe from their wonderful guest blogger, La Lubu.
She has a comprehensive list of ways in which she feels a disconnect from the feminist movement, and it got me to thinking about my own identity, and ways in which I overlap with the feminist movement, and [...]
Reclaiming the Night: Aftermath!
Posted by: Ryan on: October 27, 2007
Reclaim the Night was awesome!
It was pouring down rain, and so I was worried that no one would show up, but lots of people still came! I have many bad photo’s saved to my 2MP mobile phone, but thankfully Amanda has kindly agreed to let me have a copy of the photo’s she took with [...]
