There aren’t many things I know about feminism….or many things I know in general. But one thing I have a firm grasp on is entertainment, more specifically television shows. Last night my roommates and I watched The Bachelor, a show I am still ashamed to admit I watch weekly. The series focuses on a single […]
Read More Generation TelevisionThis week at ShoutOut!: Kate liked this article from Our Bodies Our Blog, which talks about the access to our Abortion Rights. It gives a little background on what is happening nationally and within certain states. Kelly J. found this post about Mayor Bloomberg that really made her angry.

Read More Links Round-UpIt’s the end of the semester and suddenly my schedule is full of essays that need to be written, grad school applications that need to be submitted, and finals that need to be studied for. So you know what I do? I decide to re-read Tina Fey’s Bossypants.
Read More The Nuances of Humor and Feminism: Tina Fey’s BossypantsThis week at ShoutOut!: HannahGrace points out that history was made this week, as two same sex marriages were hosted at West Point, a prestigious military academy.

In particular, I’ve been thinking about my career. For years, I thought I would pursue a job in academia. But somewhere between my high school job at Dunkin Donuts and my current job in […]
Read More Feminist Book Review: Blood, Bones, and ButterFor a variety of reasons, I’ve been thinking a lot about body image lately. Especially how it impacts my daily life.

Read More A Site of Their OwnEarlier this semester, for a class assignment, I had to read a speech that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote and gave. The speech was about being a woman, and more importantly, being a woman of color, and what that meant for her career and her goals. And since I read that speech, I’ve been […]
Read More Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Sesame StreetSo, initially, I posted this as a (lengthy) comment to JGrand’s excellent post about the Bond series. However, to (I hope) facilitate a discussion, I am reposting them as a quick hit (because I want to talk about this movie…a lot). As a follow up (and I know JGrand will be happy/having an […]
