Which Western feminist icon are you?

You are Catharine MacKinnon! You are one amazing smarty-pants! You’re hell on wheels and you know it, but you also know that because you’re the “pretty” radical feminist, you get off easier in public. You combine law, philsophy, and feminist theory. You truly are a triple threat!
Take this quiz!

Andrea Gibson performs Blue Blanket from her album, Swarm.

This pretty much left me speechless. Can’t add much more to her words.

naked on the internet: hookups, downloads, and cashing in on internet sexploration

Author: audacia ray

Year: 2007

Category: women’s studies

Publisher: seal press

ISBN: 1580052096

In her introduction to this book, Audacia Ray writes, “I was seduced by the ability to be myself — the person I am in my brain, not in my awkward social moments.” With this statement, Ray expresses the fundamental appeal of meeting, hooking up, and creating relationships via the Internet.

While she discusses the difficulties of being female online, the sexual innuendos, the disregard for women’s perspectives, and the vicious attacks on physical attributes (simply because one is a woman), she notes that women also feel a freedom by being online. They are, if somewhat disembodied (as if you’re not disembodied in online communities), treated as “one of the guys” until their gender is revealed (ala the current hoopla over Digby, the political wonk).

Ray interviews women, asking them their opinions on the usefulness of the Internet as a tool to make connections to others. She writes, “the Internet allows women to be picky in ways that are largely structured around personal deal breakers.”

Ray’s book runs the gamut from innocuous discussions / conversational exchanges online to porn to creating relationships (one-night-stands or long-term) offline. It is an interesting look into a woman’s perspective on relationships, sex, and love on the Internet.

Each year I try to take part in the annual Climb to Conquer Cancer. This is a 7-mile walk (or run if you’re that ambitious — which I’m not) up the mountain here in Flagstaff. All proceeds go to the local Cancer Society. It’s a great event.
This year, I’ll be walking [...]
