What is it about the “f-word?”
Bra-burning, man-hating, lesbian-loving… myth.
The f-word is a word I hesitate to use. I can almost feel the whispers behind me, “She’s a feminist…” “Oh, how tragic.” The idea has zombied into an undying reputation since I wrote about it in a column my sophomore year of high school for the school newspaper.
All though I had […]
Flesh currency
The border between the United States and Mexico is no fine line; it represents the metaphorical finish line for some Mexican people, but for some Mexican women, it represents justification of suffering on either side–no green grass to be found.
The movie “Trade,” written by the same dude who did Motorcycle Diaries, debuted in September 2007. […]
May Irony Always Inspire Change!
Why I opened my door, and what a pleasant scene I did see!
Chalk one up for the fight against macho West Campus douchebaggery.
Until the feed is fed
She-roes: Cynthia.
Above is the link to the first WWWoman podcast series, She-roes. The series is hosted by me, Chelsey, but ultimately is the product of local women who choose to tell narratives of traumatic experiences from their past, and have always had the fear of being labeled the “victim.”
Eventually, I will have the four-part series […]
Ana-annihilation
BBC news reported today that eating disorder clinic campaigners in Britain are aiming to shut down “pro-ana” Web sites. “Pro-ana” describes about 35% (according to Stanford Medical School) of the anorexia demographic (it’s sad to say “demographic” in reference).
“Pro-ana” men and women promote the disease as a lifestyle choice. Personally, I’d recommend Buddhism.
Yes, there are […]
How to transform West Campus garbage into urban art
Today in recess, an accomplice and I did a fun activity to target fraternity-affiliated acts of masculinity gone array. The particular case on stairwell 21 at the Croix included peculiar and unnecessary destruction, completed only by the cornucopia of old takeout smothered on the cool wooden steps. By countering these uh-ohs (boys will be boys, […]
Political Polemic: the Aftermath.
It was 11 p.m. Wed. night when I got three phone calls from my editor at the Daily Texan. She said she had a wild card pass to the democratic debate and that, since I was the Texan’s blogger, she wanted me to be there.Note: I blog about websites, not about politics. As a matter […]
Oh, THERE it is.
So I will probably be flying to Italy soon.
Tragically, I never found that g-spot. But today, women everywhere, with my problem, have been given a second chance (background: me dancing on beach, thin, shiny tan skin…as in this sounds like an ad).
Italian scientists have found a way to actually locate the female g spot. The […]
Internet date, pick you up at 7 p.m.–in the blogosphere.
Tomorrow I’m calling the rounds of the debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, all at the beloved University of Texas rec center.
I will be live-blogging the event, reporting every detail that is out of place. Expect tweaked-ness.
Check out the Daily Texan blogsite for more details.
A belated post about the International Day against Female Genital Mutilation
The UN described a plan to cut down the international occurrence of female genital mutilation Feb. 8, which unbeknownst to me was the International Day against Female Genital Mutilation (the significance of one date for this…unknown).
Supposedly, they will cut it (the crime…nice pun though, eh) 40% within the next 7 years.
First of all, 40% is […]
