I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a superb job with this.
In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Firefox.
Outstanding Blog!

I can’t tell.”

Well put. I’m in my forties and struggling with what I think Feminism needs to do/be now. I think you’ve hit something with the word ‘nuance’. Many of the problems don’t seem so black and white as they did when I was a young feminist, and I find 70s / 80s style rhetoric really old fashioned and unhelpful nowadays. This is probably because, as you say, new injustices fly in through the window and they get subtler and more difficult to work out how to respond. Old fashioned stompy activism doesn’t seem to me to be the way in the main.

Still working on what the way is, though.

I believe that feminism is and ought to be a diverse collection of movements and activisms. For feminists to shoot each other down over details is unfortunate, I think. Your last paragraph really gets to the heart of the matter.

I do wonder sometimes whether today’s feminists are as dedicated to activism as yesterday’s activists. Of course, we live in an age where we can connect with people around the world at the press of a finger (and we suffer the consequences of doing so, thanks NSA). So our activism probably looks different than that of our sisters in the 70s. Anyway I agree with you that being jealous that younger feminists aren’t interested in second wave thoughts and beliefs doesn’t really help correct the gender paradigms under which we suffer.

I also don’t like people vilifying self-indulgence :)

]]> Comment on Mummies to the rescue! On Daddy Pig, Father’s Day and gender stereotypes by SOWTW http://glosswatch.com/2013/06/14/mummies-to-the-rescue-on-daddy-pig-fathers-day-and-gender-stereotypes/#comment-20027 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:28:56 +0000 http://glosswatch.com/?p=5850#comment-20027 Stop Oppression of Women in the Third World

http://stopow.tumblr.com/

We are a new organization that is committed to stopping the oppression of women in the third world countries.

Women in the Third World suffer considerably from the following problems:

-daily domestic violence

-brutal rape and torture

-patriarchal culture without any moderation

-abusive men

-honor killings

-forced poverty and are unable to free themselves since women are considered as property, not human beings, in many third world countries

We are committed to trying to END this oppression. One of our goals is to create a political lobby or organization that lobbies for visas for single or divorced women from third world countries, so that we can bring them to the West and help them escape the abuse, rape, poverty, and violence of the patriarchal system in most third world countries.
