My dedication to feminism has not really shown threw in the last several months as it once did when I began this blog...Does this make me less of a feminist? Of course not, however other parts of my life have taken over my intent to blog as I use to. Why? on might ask? I would have to say that it has occurred because I'm a bit stress in trying to complete my senior year at school. The whole

On November 13th 2007 Governor Deval Patrick signed the Buffer Zone bill that was passed through the Senate and the House in weeks prior. This means a visible, enforceable, 35ft perimeter around health care providers such as Planned Parenthood. This is a monumental step towards provided safe health care for all people. No longer will men and women have to be harassed when they are simple going to

I recommend this book more so to men then I do to women. Us ladies already know that crazy things happen to our bodies, not just once a month but all the time!! The Female Brain explains what exactly is going on in our head and bodies that make us act the way that we do. Although the book has some physiological terms it's enjoyable to read--I promise it's not like reading a text book for a Bio

Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but

You never know what/who you'll run into on your dailey commute through the city. Often you find people that are asking for money...Now I am very unlikely to give into people on the street selling things or your occasional alcoholic bum. However today was a bit different. This young woman stopped me while I was making my way to Sephoria, and just my luck she was selling this amazing cosmetics

No I am not your mother! In fact I'm not anyone's mother so please don't refer to me as one. "Hey ma"--does that line actually work? Do women/girls/females respond to that? Because I certainly don't. It's ridiculous what males think is acceptable to say to women on the street; shortie (side note-I'm 5'8" which is kinda tall, and guys who are shorter than me have called me that--I don't understand

I was fabulously surprised this past week with the two random acts of chivalry that I encountered during my daily commute on the T.

According to a SHEunlimited interview; whale tails are a fashion don't on the work front.

In this particular situation the defendant's (Pamir Safi, an Army reservist)defense attorney (Clarence Mock) argued to have the words "rape," "victim," "assault," and “sexual assault kit” from the testimony throughout the trail.I just don't get it.

It's another vulgar term for vagina..However just as I have learned to embraced such vulgar terms to call a woman and their reproductive whatnots (CUNT and BITCH)..I am now going to continue on and welcome the word minge into my vocab..and plus it's way more fun to say than cunt...haha

The Cougar...on Feminist BloggingI suppose I've been a feminist my whole life but didn't really begin to embrace the F-word until my college years, when I began to understand the meaning behind it. Being a feminist is basically--me fighting for equal rights among the sexes…the want to not be discriminated against because of what is between my legs. Blogging for feminism is just part of my

The Upwelling has a new addition to their band--gutarist and vocalist, Lee Moretti. She was rescently picked up by the band in early April. I had the pleasure of hearing The Upwelling at Babson College a few weekends ago, where I met Lee. She's awesome and a great addition to the band. She rocks out on stage and is totally down to earth chick that seems to love what she's doing with herself right

"I'm interested in who we are--internally and externally. Each person instinctively creates their own shapes,” says Natasha Law in Elle mag’s February 2007 issue. Law currently lives in London as an artist who creates multi media images of women; in which the motions and emotion of a woman’s body are captured. The women in her artwork are not posed but rather in more natural positions of an “

Thought this was pretty interesting stuff...Yes females do ejaculate, psychotherapist Lisa S. Lawless, Ph.D talks all about it in her movie. This art form is also known as the "g-spot's kissing cousin" A lot of people are not aware of this woman's wonder but it is true and it does occur.

March 24th Beantown hosted a peace rally in the commons. It was pretty sweet. There was music, a march, and random people coming together in support of bringing our troops home. It was a little intense at times but inspiring how people came together for humanity in an anti-war protest. My camera ran out of batteries and I only got to take like two pictures so they're not that great.

For all of you ladies living in various metropolitan areas you may want to check out your DailyCandy.

I would rather die sooner of equality, than live longer under oppression. According to a a recent study in Sweden, gender equality is correlated to a lower life expectancy for both men and women.

Transgendered women may be feminism's biggest allies. Although some radical feminists have been known to bash on transgender women, I don't believe this should be the case at all. Start breaking down these borders through banding together.

There's something extremely liberating about a women's locker room...or maybe it was just because I was naked...hahaha. No, but seriously, when I'm there no one seems to notice or care that I haven't shaved in a few days. There's a mutual respect and comfort found in that locker room. When I'm in there my mind and body are somehow aligned, and I am at peace with all my imperfections.

Yes here we go again people--the constant double standard....Men get laid and they're "the man", women get laid and they're a "slut".

Is Hova right, is 30 truly the new 20?And if that what does that make me…10 or 20?Should 20-somethings and 30someings be doing the same thing? If 30-something guys are partying at the bar with 20-something females is that okay?...Perhaps normal even? Because really how may 30-something women do you see out at the bar on the reg..hanging out with younger guys? I guess as you get older, the age

Planned Parenthoods in and around the Boston area are taking appointments via internet.Pretty cool, quick and easy..a lot better than being on hold for 15 minutes.

Pussycat Dolls (PCD)..okay yes they're hot. A few young women doing their thing...in that way I guess they could be a positive influence for women, but i just don't know. Taking off you're clothes to sell records..not so much. And well anything that dresses that scandalously and is referred to as "pussy", well that doesn't exactly scream feminism. Instead I hear "objectify me now." Perhaps if the

Hillary and Barack honor those who fought for equality in Selma, AL. Civil Rights Actions of the past, like Bloody Sunday have given minorities many more opportunities for their future. Obama and Clinton are examples of such opportunities.This video of the senators' visit to Selma is inspiring and hopeful...a monumental step forward in the battle of equality.

She is the wife of a US soldier. Her house was broken into last Saturday night. She was beaten, raped and basically left to die. She was alone that night, on that army base in Georgia.This is a tragic, awful, disgusting, nauseating and true story.

After much struggle women finally made some headway with the arrival of the long awaited Plan B to be sold over the counter.However, now it seems like the FDA has other plans for the Women's Health Office funds.Oh yeah..apparently some people weren't too happy with Plan B being sold over the counter, so they decided to cut the Women's Health Office funds from 4 million down to 2.8 mil.

Apparently it's not just women who may feel the pressure of time on their reproductive organs. Recent research claims that men may start feeling their biological clocks ticking, if they want to procreate "normal" offspring.For once men might just know the wrath of biological determinism.

I just wish people; women and men could understand the importance of equality. The right to be human. The right for a woman not to be judged because of her vagina, emotions, ability to care, femininity, masculinity, the way she dresses, sexuality, etc.It hurts to be judged on the person I am because I have a fucking cunt!Yes, I am angry that women are disempowered by our patriarchal society.

It seems that every time, or at least most of the time people talk about feminism, lesbianism is soon to follow (check out the YouTube video "quick Q&A on feminism" and you'll see what I mean).Feminism does not equal lesbianism. Having pride in your vagina, does not mean you want to get into someone else's. A woman can be;1) a lesbian and not be a feminist2) a lesbian and a feminist3) a

Okay...so its happened to anyone above the age of 13 with a vagina. You enter the women's room, find somewhat of a cleanly stall and venture in. You go about your business, la dee da...then it hits you....no, luckily their actually is toilet paper, but there isn't a place to dispose of your feminine products. A "tampon trash" if you will.Now what? Damn it, why did I have to chose this bathroom?

Now I don't know much about politics, I'm not going to lie. But I have to say that regardless of what state the union is in, come 2008 elections, women don't seem to have too much hope if we elect another republican with similar views as Bush.Speaking of him...The bad bush is at it again...take action to ensure proper family planning and birth control.
