Sunday Links Round-Up

Imagineherstory says she knows so many women who don’t seem to care, or want to talk about current legislation affecting women.  For them it’s “just not cool” or “uninteresting” or have the mentality that since it’s not affecting them right now they don’t need to pay attention to it, but how much will women have to lose before young women have their wake up call?  How many of our rights will have to be taken away until we say enough is enough?

HannahGrace was disgusted to see a tweet by The Onion during the Oscars calling six year old nominee Quvenzhane Wallis a “cunt.” Read this mom’s blog explaining why this type of sexualized negativity is so damaging to America’s children.

FemOnFire was shocked to learn that an Amazon.com seller was selling these t-shirts promoting rape, supposedly because of a computer-generated mistake. Though the shirts have been taken down from Amazon and the seller’s site after a flood of customer complaints, it is worthwhile to question why they were able to be marketed in the first place.

jgrand50 found an article by the ACLU about Women’s History Month. Though progress has been made, there is still a long way to go.

elfeministo found this article about “good” and “bad” feminism.

Kate asks, have you ever thought about how most podcasts are mostly done by men? Read this article from Bitch Magazine and see why people think this is happening.

Devystations says, no Seth Mcfarlane, YOU are a boob – as in a stupid and doltish person.

Kelly J. found this commercial that she found to be very sexist and stereotypical. She takes offense to it because she says she knows that she has been assumed to be a bad driver just because she’s a girl.  This commercial not only mocks women driving, but also the ways of a teenage girl. With the pink car, the cell phone and the pink sunglasses on, this commercial is assuming that all teenage girls are girl girls like that, which is definitely not the case!
